And there are a lot of other couples in and around the Nation\u2019s Capital who are also having to reschedule their engagement photo sessions. As you can imagine, dates for <\/span>Washington DC engagement sessions are getting booked up quickly. So the sooner you get your<\/span>s <\/b>on the calendar, the sooner you can breathe easy and turn to other parts of your wedding planning. <\/span>With that in mind, please reach out to us<\/a> as soon as possible to start talking about scheduling your engagement photoshoot!<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Engagement Sessions in DC Are a Great Idea<\/span><\/h2>\n

Haven\u2019t purchased an engagement photoshoot yet? Then now might be a good time to consider adding one to your wedding photography package. Because the global coronavirus pandemic is forcing everyone to rethink their wedding plans, many couples are having to rework their wedding photography contracts. That makes this a good time to reexamine what you have planned. More specifically, you now have the opportunity to reconsider the benefits of <\/span>engagement sessions in DC. Here’s why an hour or two spent with professional engagement photographers taking your portraits can be really great for you and your future spouse:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Beautiful photos<\/h3>\n

A no-brainer, right? An engagement photoshoot can give you some stunning pictures<\/a> to share with friends, use in your new save-the-date cards or put on your mantel. We can promise that you will not regret taking the opportunity to get more photos of the two of you together. Our colleagues have taken \u201cengagement\u201d photos of us several times in the past couple of years, and we love having those images.<\/span><\/p>\n

Increased comfort being photographed<\/h3>\n

One thing we learned from those experiences? Being photographed professionally is weird! Posing for engagement pictures is not always very natural. Staring into your partner\u2019s eyes for five uninterrupted minutes is not something most people do very often. We have also learned, though, that posing gets easier with practice. So having your picture taken by your engagement photographers before your marriage celebrations makes everything easier on your wedding day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Increased comfort with your engagement photographers<\/h3>\n

Similarly, being photographed gets a lot easier when you know your photographers well. Spending an hour chatting with us while we take your picture can make your wedding-day couples portrait experience so much nicer. We won\u2019t be two strangers who you\u2019ve video chatted with a few times. We\u2019ll Anji and Pete, two people you already know. You\u2019ll feel more relaxed and get better images as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n
