Signs a Wedding Photographer Might Not Be Right for You
A wedding photographer is more than just a pretty Instagram grid; they’re a trusty sidekick on your wedding day. So, you want to be sure you’re getting a good one even if they’re taking pretty pictures.
Choosing the Right Location for Your Massachusetts Engagement Session
Choosing the right location for your Boston engagement session is a little like picking the movie setting for your love story. Do you want to be on a windswept beach on Cape Cod? Amidst the brownstones and old money of Beacon Hill? Maybe you want to sit in a cozy café or walk a trail in the forest that feels straight out of a fantasy novel, whatever the backdrop you choose will set the tone for your session.
How to Pose Naturally During Your Cape Cod Engagement Session
The eternal question of getting your picture taken – just what do you do with your hands? The biggest myth about engagement sessions is that you must know how to pose. You don’t. A big part of why I set up Boston engagement sessions with my couples is to give you the tools that will take the pressure to perform off your wedding day (at least as much as we can).
Why Engagement Sessions Matter for New England Couples
Your Boston engagement session isn’t just a box-ticking exercise, it’s a rehearsal that is going to help make your wedding photos look and feel effortless (or at least feel a little less awkward). Before a chaotic wedding day distracts you, an engagement session gives you a chance to break the ice with your photographer, breathe, and learn to enjoy being photographed together.
What Should Be Included in a Wedding Photography Contract?
When you get engaged there’s a little montage that flashes before your eyes: drinking champagne while twirling around in a dozen dresses, cake samples, a riot of color swatches, cake samples, the overwhelming scent of a thousand flowers you’ve never heard of, cake samples, imagining yourself on a Cape Cod beach or at MFABoston, and that one beautiful moment as you stare over at your beloved before they say “I do.”
Then you’re hit with invoices.
And paperwork.
Even for the cake samples.
