Jason McGrew Photography | Engagements.

I love to photograph engagement session. In fact it is probably my favorite session to photograph. Why you may ask? Because I have taken "Dicks" advice and done my homework. Once again you may ask yourself "how"? One of the many benefits of having me as your photographer is that you receive amazing customer service not just amazing images!
One way that this is accomplished with weddings is I take all my Brides and Grooms out to dinner. Before I decided to do this I asked a lot of people what they thought about it and it was a good mix for both sides.. I told myself what do I have to loose besides about $100. I felt that it was worth it. I have since taken almost all my wedding clients to a nice dinner. When at dinner I have them fill out a a form with questions about them and who they are as a couple! Everyone loves it! We just chat about whatever comes up and of course there wedding day plans, but most importantly we drill them with questions about who they are. Then they do the same to us. Going to dinner is one of the best parts about shooting weddings.
I Have been able to connect with couples that in the original consult i thought it would be super hard. After going to dinner we no longer are their photographer we become their friends. And Friends talk to others about their friends!
I just thought that I would share how I connect with my couples before showing you my favorite session this year. These images are simple and all about them. In these images I see the couple not images of the couple. I love my job!
Enjoy!
