Tip of the Day: Schedule your engagement photo session early on in the wedding-planning process (some brides do it up to a year in advance). Not only will this give you ample time to incorporate your gorgeous photos into your save-the-date, but it will also validate your choice of photographer and give you a sneak preview of the big day.
"We use this session to get to know our couples and teach them how to stand, how to sit, what to do with their hands and feet so they look their best when being photographed. Every time we do an engagement session for our couples, their wedding images turn out better and they have a great time," says Jerry W. Venz from The Storytellers, a member of Professional Photographers of America.
