Four Reasons to Book a Destination Love Story Session on Your Trip to Europe
Europe has long-lured couples in love to enjoy its old-world charm and elegance. It’s a favorite among couples for a pre-wedding trip, and it’s also the perfect place for a memorable destination engagement session.
Here are my top reasons to consider booking a destination engagement or honeymoon session:
01. It’s a great alternative to a destination wedding
If you dreamed of having a destination wedding, but opted for one at home instead, a destination engagement or honeymoon session is the perfect alternative. It’s a great way to make a destination location a part of your love story, without committing to a full destination wedding experience.
So celebrate with family and friends at home, then come celebrate in Europe!
Or, if you are having a destination wedding, booking a pre- or post-wedding shoot is another great way to take advantage of the beauty of the location you chose. Lots of photographers—including myself—are willing to come early or stay later to make sure you get an extra shoot in.
02. It’s the best souvenir money can buy
A destination engagement or honeymoon session gives you the unique opportunity to explore a European city in the early morning hours, when the light is golden and the streets are quiet.
In the end, you’ll not only have photos to cherish for life, but you’ll forever have the memory of that morning with the love of your life. Sure, you can buy fancy souvenirs, but having photos to enjoy in your home and pass down to the next generation is priceless.
03. It’s a guaranteed way to get photos of the two of you together
Have you ever arrived home from a trip and realized your only photos together were just a few selfies? And maybe you even looked a bit sweaty and exhausted? (Been there, done that!)
Selfies and photos of landmarks are great and all, but are they really the ones you’ll frame and display in your home? Or pass down to your children?
A love story session guarantees you’ll get photos you’ll treasure—and you’ll have a great experience along with it. You’ll receive a full gallery of professional images, when you’ll be looking your best and when you’re not sharing the streets with countless other tourists.
And they’ll be the photos you can’t wait to print and frame.
04. It gives you the chance to slow down and connect
Vacations are often filled to the brim with activities. I’ve long been an advocate of slow travel, believing it’s better to travel without an itinerary and just enjoy a slower pace.
An engagement or honeymoon session allows you the chance to slow down, connect, and experience the city in the early hours without the chaos of other tourists and activities.
