Reply To: Why do i need to hire someone who does engagement photography in Las Vegas?

Engagements are a great way to start the story of your pending wedding.  Most people think, “Ahh we’ll just take a few snapshots and that will be it.”

Like iliketag said, it is also a good trial run for your photographer.  Don’t like them or they just aren’t vibing with you, then you have time to get another.

People usually don’t prioritize things that are going to last or things to look back on, I’ll give examples.  I will cover mostly the wedding part, because to me the engagement is the “pre-wedding.”

For most people, photography is ranked in the top 5 of priorities for the engagement/wedding.  When you think about it, what is it that lasts after everything is said and done?  The video and the photos.

The cake is eaten, the tux and the gown are in the closet collecting dust, the invitations are stowed away or tossed, the flowers are dried up or trashed and so on.  Not to sound down, but if anything, I would spend more on the photo/video because they are the 2 things that will be shared, and last for a very long time.

I may sound biased , being a photographer, but when you think about it, what else is there to remember the date besides the ring on your finger?

If you stay together for a long time, trust me, good quality photos are really going to score points later when you two are alone and reminiscing.   Don’t skimp, it will pay off in the long run.
