Spotlight: Engagment Portraits

Engagement Sessions, how I love thee. I'd say most of us aren't models. So we aren't used to having our pictures taken.  In fact it's probably very difficult to find a picture of me anywhere.. but I'm always awkward in front of the camera.  That's where the importance of an Engagement Session comes in.
Most of us haven't had a portrait session since we've gotten out of school, so we arrive on our Wedding day all pretty and handsome and a stomach full of butterflies. Then we catch a glimpse of the photographer with his/her big lenses coming at us... and we cringe. Or.. could we be relieved? Well if we had just had a successful Engagement session a few months or year earlier, it may feel like an old friend is there by our side, there to get our best side. We got our photography jitters out at the engagement session and we realized.. "Hey I'm pretty photogenic!"
So without any further ado I present just a few of my recent photogenic couples and their engagement sessions.
