Plan Your 2021 Wedding – Leesburg, Virginia Photographer For Your Engagement And Wedding Photos

Times may be a little crazy right now, but for next year, a lot of couples have their weddings to look forward to! Now is the time to plan and think about engagement photos and lining up a photographer for the big day. Anne Lord, a Leesburg, Virginia photographer brings 19 years of experience in engagement and wedding photography to any couple she photographs.

Using the same photographer for both your engagement and wedding photos ensure that your wedding images are the best they can be because you have already built a rapport with your photographer. There is a comfort and trust that is built during the engagement session with your wedding photographer. Here are 3 reasons to use the same photographer for both joyous events in your life.

1.   Being comfortable with your wedding photographer

Engagement sessions are a great way to get to know your photographer, and for your photographer to get to know you as a couple. Through your session, engagement photographer Anne Lord likes to help make couples feel more comfortable and natural in front of the camera with the aim of ‘bringing out’ your genuine personalities. Knowing that you and your loved one are not professional models Anne uses her experience and skill to capture images of poses that are both flattering and natural. Discovering these things during your engagement session reduces the guesswork on your wedding day.

2.   Knowing what to expect for your wedding portraits

Every photographer works differently, so using the same photographer can help streamline your wedding day portraits. You will already be comfortable with your photographer and know the level of involvement and direction that your photographer is striving for. Your engagement session can provide a glimpse of how you and your loved one will feel being photographed on your wedding day. Having photographed many engagements and wedding days, Anne Lord of Leesburg Virginia and the surrounding communities, likes to also capture events as they naturally unfold in front of her. By having one photographer for your engagement shoot, and another photographer for you wedding day, each photographer may focus more on staging or posing moments to look genuine since they have not been able to build a rapport from a previous shoot. Knowing exactly what to expect from your photographer on your big day will put your mind at ease.

3.   Cohesive images from your engagement session to your big day

By using the same photographer for engagement and wedding photos, you ensure a cohesive style of imagery and aesthetic for all your engagement and wedding images. Some photographers like to emphasize color and high saturation, eccentric lighting, or sharp contrast in their images. By having the same photographer for both big events your photos will complement each other and have the same pleasing aesthetic. Instead of different styles and flow, they would be a natural continuation from your engagement photos to your wedding day photos.

Another advantage is that if you like what your photographer did with your engagement photos, you will have security in knowing that your photographer will take care of all your photography needs leaving one less thing to worry about on your big day. Also, if you like your engagement photographer, then you already have your wedding photographer right in front of you!
