Engagement (or majlis pertunangan) is usually customary before the wedding. It is a promise a couple makes to each other.
It is also a hint to other men out there that the eligible young lady is no longer available. Pre-booked already lah!
The typical 6 months or 1 year engagement is also an opportunity for the families of both sides of couple to get to know each other better.
In the meantime, there will be a smaller scale engagement event going on.
There will be a lot of beautiful engagement trays bearing gifts, engagement party and general revelry and happiness going on.
So why not hire a professional photographer to cover this special engagement day?
Some of the benefits of hiring a photographer for the pre-wedding engagement event:
- You will get to know your photographer better. You will spend anywhere from 1-3 hours together and you can really get to know each other better – especially if you haven’t met in person before.
- You can practice being comfortable being photographed. We are not all models and this session will help you feel more comfortable on your ACTUAL wedding day.
- You will get some great photos of you as a couple! You can then use these as part of your actual wedding day reception or just to keep as a reminder of this amazing time of your life together.
OK, so then you decided. You want to do an engagement session.
A lot of our Jurugambar SG photographers know great spots for photos, but they love when you come with an idea for your session.
It should be about you as a couple. Not sure where you want them?
Check out some of my favorite ideas….but remember the sky is the limit! Be creative with your photos.
