Why I believe EVERY photographer should shoot engagement sessions

Here are 7 Reasons I believe photographers should shoot engagement sessions. The first two points are for the general public, all photographers. The last 5 have direct correlation to the wedding industry but i truly believe all photographers can get something out of them.

Thanks, Phil. I love shooting engagement sessions. I also find if I don't shoot any engagement session, the wedding photography later isn't as strong. Being comfortable before the wedding day, makes the couple better on their wedding day.

Great content man!! Thanks for advice and tips. I have a quick question - do you have any videos about how to get into wedding photography? Any advice on how to find second camera weddings gigs etc? Thanks in advance for the response 🙌

[@betterpixs]

I recommend asking working professionals if you can second shoot or even be a grip for a wedding to gain experience.
