An Engagement Session in Gloucester [Why You Would Want an Engagement Session]

I met Roshni and Cyrus early on a foggy, post rainy morning for their engagement portrait session at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester, Massachusetts.  We initially had talked about holding their session at Wellesley College, Roshni’s Alma Mater, and after careful thought they decided on Stage Fort Park.  They shared that this was where the two began their serious relationship, it became clear how important this location was and will always be to them.
Cyrus said something to me that I want to share with all of you planning your weddings.  He said understood why an engagement session was so important.  It is like a practice run.  It helped him get comfortable in front of the camera – let’s face it, its definitely not a universal skill – and more importantly it allowed us to work together – couple and photographer – without any of the distractions of a wedding day.  This is exactly why I offer engagement sessions as part of my wedding package, and its a bit of a non-negotiable.  If you even questioned why do an engagement session, there is your answer. Think of it as a practice session that will help take away any stress around photography on your wedding day.

Roshni and Cyrus, I am so looking forward to your wedding.  Thanks so much for sharing this special place with me.  May you treasure these images for years to come.

Until next time,
