Importance of engagement shoot and back up equipment.

Today I shot engagement pics of Amanda and Evan in the Village of New York city. The day was warm and sunny and we all couldn't ask for a better day in November. We met at the couple's apartment building on MacDougal Street and I immediately loved the hallway where I started to shoot away. The guys were shy at the beginning but quckly warmed up. I really enjoyed photographing them and can't wait to shoot their Central Park wedding on January 14th. I wanted to say how important the e-shoot is. It's not just to get a photo of yourself to put in a frame but great opportunity to get comfortable in front of a camera and the photographer before the Big Day as well as for the photographer to see how you interact with each other and learn about you. Anyway, we walk around those cool streets and my camera breakes! I was so glad to have a back up camera!
