Getting the Most Out of Your Engagement Shoot

Too often brides and grooms rule out the need for an engagement shoot without first considering the benefits. From excuses like time constraints to budget decisions, it can seem easy to pass on this pre-wedding event.

However, before you start bartering with your photographer to skip the engagement shoot in favor of a smaller price tag, be sure you take some time to weigh the pros versus the cons. An engagement shoot is much more valuable than you might think.

1. Quality time with your photographer. An engagement shoot is the ideal time to get to know your photographer, and more importantly, for him or her to get to know you. You can get used to having your photo taken by a professional, and your photographer can experiment with angles, poses, lighting and other ideas so he or she can be more prepared and in tune with what you’ll want on your wedding day.
2. Finding your good side. Being able to see photos of yourselves by the photographer who will be doing your wedding gives you concrete examples of photos you love, and also maybe angles or shots that you’d prefer to avoid.
3. Bonus round. An engagement session can be a great excuse to try out your hair and makeup prior to your wedding or the perfect time to take some chances you’ll have to forgo on the big day. For example, take the opportunity to see exactly how your makeup will photograph, or show off the vivid burnt orange dress you weren’t able to work into your wedding.

Furthermore, don’t underestimate the need for a beautiful, recent photo of you and your hubby-to-be. Aside from chronicling this special time in your life, engagement photos are a great option for details like your save-the-dates, programs, favors, or thank you cards. They are also ideal if you’re planning to submit a formal engagement announcement or wedding announcement to your local paper.

Don’t think of an engagement photo session as a luxury, but as a smart way to prepare for your wedding photos, and a fun, easy way to get some beautiful images of you and your beloved together prior to your special day.

For James Almanza, it’s all about being in the right place at the right time, and yet simultaneously being out of the way. He has a talent for capturing the essence of a wedding on camera unobtrusively, as the day's events unfold around him.

One of his favorite parts of photographing weddings is getting to see the couple “experience their wedding from a guest’s point of view,” when they first see their photos. Indeed, Almanza has a saying, “Taking a good picture is easy. Taking a picture someone else will think is good, not so easy.” Though from his photos, “not so easy” seems almost effortless for James Almanza.
