After getting to know them, I am so excited already to photograph
Alissa and Doug’s wedding day next fall at
Shawnee Inn. But for now, I was more than happy to capture the engagement celebration between these two.
This would be the first time I’ve been to the Shawnee Inn and I wasn’t sure what to expect as far as scenery and photo opportunities. I had nothing to worry about. I already knew the couple would make for some great photos, but to my pleasant surprise, there were numerous beautiful scenes for us at
Shawnee Inn. So many, that we didn’t even use them all. We’ll save some for the wedding!
The Day of the photoshoot was a chilly, windy day, but we persevered. These two were troopers and even though they were a bit cold, they knew how to model… or it came off that way! It was easy to get great shots because the love they had for each other was obvious and that came through to create great photos.
I’m very much looking forward to the wedding now. I had such a great time capturing their engagement celebration
There are many reasons it’s important to take engagement photos once you make it official. As a couple who likely has never been photographed professionally before, the engagement session is one of the greatest services you and your fiancé can take advantage of prior to your wedding. Some couples may feel it’s a waste of time or isn’t necessary, but there are many valuable reasons why you’ll benefit from utilizing this opportunity.
Establishing a relationship with your photographer before your wedding will make a difference in the outcome of your wedding photos. Spend about an hour or two getting to know your pro, listening to them, having fun with them, and then get photographed. They’ll take note of how you interact with each other, your individual personalities and even your quirks. These details will help them capture moments on the wedding day that are unique to just the two of you.
