Read MoreAtlanta Wedding Photographers Looking Forward to Engagement Season
This week we are going to cover one of my favorite things to do as a Atlanta wedding photographer, engagement sessions. They are much more fun and relaxed than the wedding day. This is why engagement sessions are included in most of packages we offer.
I like to start my engagement sessions very laid back with a slow steady pace since we are not in a rush. I start out the engagement sessions with general conversational questions so we all get to know each other. We start to talk about family, such as how many brothers and sisters they have, how many brothers and sisters they have, whether they come from a big family, what their grandparents and extended family are like. This tells me how many people will be in the group photos. We also may touch on where their family comes from.

It made shadows on the table and illuminated certain things in the close vicinity of the light it was giving off. That reminded me of one of the most important principles in photography which is light. By definition photo means light and graphy means drawing.
