Inspiration Board: Engagement Photos
Instead of posting one of our mini-real wedding inspiration boards today, we thought we’d talk about the importance of your engagement session with your wedding photographer.
Here’s the thing, not only does it allow you some fun time with your beloved, it allows you to become more comfortable in front of the camera and also your wedding photographer. That engagement session builds that relationship so that when the big day arrives, you’ll feel less self-conscious and even more at ease with your wedding photographer allowing them to get the best possible pictures of you and your lovey (we love the candids!)!
Now, with that said, I HAVE to post these phenomenal engagement photos…near and dear to the Real Weddings family, it’s our very own Aimee soon-to-be Carroll who will be marrying my much-adored step-son Jarrod next week (yes, next week!), captured through the extraordinary lens of Sarah Maren of Sarah Maren Photography. (Can you tell I’m a little giddy with excitement about the upcoming wedding of Aimee and Jarrod?!)
