Melanie of Lily and Grey Photo Co agrees. “As a photographer, I think it is imperative that couples have an engagement session. It gives you the opportunity to connect with your photographer in front of the camera. It will help you to feel more confident, more comfortable and more relaxed! You'll know how your photographer works and what to expect on your wedding day. It's a priceless experience.
