Benefits of Engagement Sessions

Engagement sessions are more than just a photo shoot; they are an essential part of the wedding journey. Here’s why I recommend them to all my couples:

  • Building Comfort: Working with your photographer before the big day helps you become more comfortable in front of the camera, ensuring a relaxed and seamless experience on your wedding day.
  • Celebrating Your Story: These sessions allow you to celebrate your unique love story in a location that means something to you, showcasing your personalities without the timeline pressure of a wedding.
  • Showcase Your Style: You can experiment with different looks, outfits, and locations, creating a versatile gallery of images perfect for save-the-dates and wedding websites.
  • Creating Lasting Memories: Beyond the photographs, the session itself is a fun date night that allows you to slow down and focus on each other amidst the wedding planning chaos.

Providence offers an incredible variety of textures—from the industrial vibes of the Jewelry District to the manicured lawns of the State House. For Brittany and Greg, the mix of Brown University’s history and Waterplace Park’s modern energy captured their relationship perfectly.
