I mean, who really likes getting their photo taken other than models? ok and movie stars, and teenaged girls, and ok ok so there are lots of people who LOVE getting their picture taken. I am not one of them.
I like when (by accident) someone takes a picture of me and it doesn't make me want to barf or go into a rampage ripping up and deleting every copy I can get my hands on. As you can tell, my standards are low.
Back to the engagement photos - we reluctantly agreed to have them done a) because they were included in our package and b) truthfully there is no better way to see exactly what you are getting on the day of your wedding.
These shoots give you and your photographer an opportunity to get to know one another and get comfortable with each other ahead of the big day. Who wants to find out at the wedding that your photographer is a big jerk and you and your photographer do not get along at all? That would be bad news.
If you were wondering, our photographer happens to be all kinds of awesome.
We followed some simple rules:
- Photos needed to represent the real us (so no cigarette smoking, martini drinking, Mad Men-esque posing for us)
- We needed to be comfortable during the shoot
- Minimal props (and when props were used they truly represented us and our personalities).
