It varies from photographer to photographer, but for us,
we found that engagement sessions usually last anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour and half long. We have done some shorter than 45 minutes and during Destination Engagement Sessions, we’re typically out with our couple for majority of the day. So with all things wedding photography related, it depends on the couple :)
When talking to your photographer about your engagement session, let them know your expectations for the images (are you planning to use the images for any special projects, like save the dates or wedding decor?), ask them for any advice or recommendations that could help towards your expectations (like any cool ideas showcasing your date or creating interesting crops so that later on you have space in a specific photo to add graphic designs), and let them know your aspirations for the shoot (like where you want to go, what you want out of the shoot and how many outfits you plan to wear).
When we’re shooting engagement sessions,
our main goal is to make sure our couple is comfortable with us. We are a husband and wife photography team not only passionate about delivering stunning images, but creating a stable and trusting relationship with our clients. Through the 5 years that we’ve been shooting weddings, we’ve found that the best images come from the couples who trust us and ones we have open communication with. So the main point that we want to convey in this blog is that with us your engagement session is what you make it! Magic can happen with a short engagement session absolutely anywhere. As long as you come with the right attitude and mindset than we can rock out and have a great time together and take some amazing photos!
