Aside from honouring your newest milestone with photos, the other perks of having an engagement session is that one; you get to experience what getting photos together is like before your wedding. If you have never had photos taken before, this is definitely the time to get that experience in so that on the day of your wedding, it doesn't feel so daunting. Two, you get to have way more flexibility with your photos compared to the wedding day. Treat your engagement session as a date. Pick out some outfits, choose a location that speaks to both of you, incorporate your pet or hobby that you love and cant perhaps include on your wedding day, and just have fun!!
