Every once in a while I meet an engaged couple who don’t want to have engagement photos taken.   I make it my mission to convince those couples that it’s something they MUST do.  I especially recommend it if a couple books me as their wedding photographer.  A lot of the times I find couples who don’t want to do it at first are self-proclaimed not “picture people” but I believe that’s exactly why they must do engagement photos before their wedding.  I’ll save my reasons for a separate blog post, but whether they’re “picture people” or not I promise that engagement sessions are actually super fun.  Well, with me anyway haha ;).  I guess the convincing worked on Tracy and Nick because a couple days after they booked me for their wedding I heard back and the engagement session was on.   They chose Golden Gardens Park in Seattle for the shoot location.  It couldn’t have been a more perfect evening to start the Seattle summer with.  I can’t express enough how glad I am we were able to do this and I can’t wait for their wedding in less than a month.
