Weddings come with a lot of moving parts, and one thing I always recommend to my couples is having an engagement session before the big day. That’s why I love doing engagement sessions before the wedding—they help set the stage for a smoother, more relaxed experience. It’s not just about getting extra photos, but about making sure you’re comfortable and everything flows effortlessly when your big day arrives.
1. It Helps You Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera
Most people aren’t used to being in front of a camera, and that’s totally okay! The engagement session gives us time to ease into it. You’ll become comfortable in front of the camera, and on your wedding day, you won’t even notice it. You’ll be fully focused on enjoying your day. It takes away the pressure and helps you feel natural and at ease.
2. We Get to Know Each Other
The engagement session is a perfect opportunity for us to connect. I get a sense of who you are as a couple, your personalities, and how you interact with each other. This helps me capture your story more authentically. By the time the wedding day comes, we’ve already built that trust, which makes everything run smoother. When you’re comfortable with your photographer, it shows in the photos.
3. You’ll Have Photos to Use Before the Wedding
Beyond the wedding day, engagement photos have a lot of uses! You can use them for save-the-dates, your wedding website, or even display them at the wedding itself. These photos capture your engagement and help you remember the journey to your wedding day.
4. It’s a Chance to Enjoy Being Engaged
With all the planning and decision-making that goes into a wedding, it’s easy to lose sight of the simple joy of being engaged. The engagement session lets you take a break from all the wedding prep and just focus on each other for a bit. It’s a relaxed, enjoyable experience where you can celebrate your relationship and have some fun together.
Ultimately, why I love doing engagement sessions before the wedding is because it makes your photography experience so much better. It allows us to get comfortable with each other, makes you feel more at ease in front of the camera, and leaves you with beautiful photos that capture your connection. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Kind Words
“From the moment we reached out to Jasmine to inquire for our wedding, I could tell what a sweet, professional person she was. I was not disappointed! During our engagement shoot, it started storming. I asked if we could continue to get a few more pictures, and she enthusiastically agreed. Some of the best pictures from the shoot came during the rain! We loved having Jasmine as our photographer. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is in the market for one”
