More thoughts on wedding coverage

Engagement Session  

This is a wonderful time for the couple to get to know the photographer. The more comfortable you are with the photographer, the more likely you are to have the images that you truly want from your session.  You should allow for at least a couple of hours and as many outfit changes as you want.  I enjoy engagement sessions the most because the couple is under no pressure, can be relaxed and the session allows for an opportunity to create romantic images.  

Bridal Session

Bridal sessions are usually done one week prior to the wedding when the bride is having a test run of her hair, makeup, and after her final dress fitting. Bridal sessions typically are done at the bride’s home.   However, when arrangements are made the church can provide for a nice location and allow for non rushed portraits of the bride.

Day After Session

For couples not wanting to see each other before the ceremony, you might consider a “Day After the Wedding Session.”  It never fails that couples always end up feeling a bit rushed to get to the reception and therefore tend to cut short the time that is left to get the romantic and fun photos of them together which are some of the most important taken during the wedding day.  This session is set up at a convenient time following the wedding and allows for a variety of locations to be used.

Trash the Dress   

The focus of the “Trash the Dress” sessions is to capture artistic images of the bride without worrying about getting the bridal gown dirty.  The focus is on art, not on destroying or ruining the dress.
