This decision will vary based on each individual/couple but I’ve compiled a list of some things to consider when deciding if hiring a professional hair and makeup artist is the right choice for your Iowa Engagement Photo Session.

Whether you have already began your wedding planning process or you are still riding the high of your recent engagement, one of the very first pre-nuptial events is going to be your Iowa engagement session. There are so many things to consider when planning your photo session. What photographer to hire? Do you go casual or dress up? Will you incorporate any wedding details? Are you going to use these photos for your save the dates?! Will you hire a hair & makeup artist?

Why You Should Consider Hiring Professional Hair & Makeup

Most couples use these photos on their save the dates. Ultimately to be on display in the homes of their closest friends and family. So why wouldn’t you want to look and feel your best? These photos are the beginning of a joyous new journey, your appearance should reflect that.
