Why are Engagement Sessions So Important?

Julia and Scott are getting married this weekend in Mission Bay. Some of my favorite wedding folks will be joining me that day, including Justin of Justin Lee Photography. Last year, when Julia and Scott were looking for a photographer, I suggested Justin and it was a perfect fit! Here are a handful of images from their engagement session, in downtown San Diego.

Why is an engagement session so important? I decided to go directly to an expert and get Justin's take. Here are his words.....

"Personally, I LOVE to photograph engagement shoots and I believe them to be a very important part of the entire wedding planning process--it really breaks the ice on the big day! It gives my couples a chance to show off many amazing perspectives of their love for one another. I approach my e-sessions as an editorial piece, and I love when my bride and grooms really get into it and are game for a lot of creative shot ideas with fun themes. I LOVE to tap into the "inner supermodel!" It is impossible to capture a bad image with two people deeply in love with each other." Justin Lee
