Having nice engagement pictures done before your wedding makes for a beautiful keepsake for you and your family and is also the perfect prelude to your wedding!  Many couples use their engagement pictures for their invitations, Sign in boards,  or as a keepsake to the guests at their wedding.  As a photographer, I try to capture the emotions of the couple in a nice casual setting.  It’s important to photograph the couple using both portrait style photography and candid style (documentary) photography.  Having a good combination of both portrait and candid style photography usually makes for the perfect mix.
