💍 Why I Offer Free Engagement Sessions (and Why You’ll Love Yours)
When you’re planning your wedding, you spend hours finding the perfect venue, the dream dress, and the right photographer to capture it all. But before the big day arrives, there’s something truly special I love gifting to my couples — a free engagement session.
If you’ve booked (or are thinking about booking) your wedding photography with me at TheHudsonValleyWeddingPhotographer.com, here’s why your engagement session isn’t just a sweet bonus — it’s an essential part of telling your love story.
📸 What Is a Free Engagement Session?
It’s exactly what it sounds like — a full engagement photo session, complimentary when you book your wedding with me.
No hidden fees. No gimmicks. Just a relaxed, romantic shoot celebrating you and your partner.
You’ll receive a collection of beautifully edited images that you can use for:
Save-the-dates and wedding websites
Home décor or albums
A preview of what your wedding photos will feel like
🌿 Why I Include It
Your wedding day is one of the most emotional, fast-paced days of your life — and you deserve to feel completely comfortable with the person behind the camera.
Your engagement session gives us the chance to:
Get to know each other before the big day
Discover your most natural poses and best angles
Build trust so you can relax and focus on each other instead of the camera
It’s also a chance for me to learn your dynamic — whether you’re playful and silly, quiet and romantic, or somewhere in between. That way, your wedding photos will feel authentically you.
🏞 Choosing the Perfect Location
The Hudson Valley is filled with breathtaking backdrops — from dreamy river overlooks to cozy orchards and forest trails. Whether you’re drawn to golden-hour light by the water or a crisp fall session among the leaves, I’ll help you pick a location that feels like your love story brought to life.
❤️ What to Expect
During your engagement session, we’ll keep things natural and unposed — think movement, laughter, and connection.
I’ll guide you through prompts that bring out your chemistry while letting your personalities shine.
Sessions typically last about an hour, and most couples walk away saying, “That was actually so much fun!”
✨ Ready to Start Your Story?
Your wedding photos begin long before the aisle — they start here, in this joyful, intimate moment between the two of you.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
👉 Book your 2026 wedding now and your engagement session is on me.
