Are you including engagement sessions free in your wedding packages?  Or as it's own separate product?

Mine are included in my (3) different wedding packages.  Now as the packages go up in price, so does the allotted time for the engagement session.  It starts out with 1 hour and goes to a 2.5 hour with 2 wardrobe changes.

I offer an engagement shoot for my wedding clients. It sweetens the deal for them, and it gives me a chance to get feel for the clients and their specific expectations and attitudes, which I've found is hard to really get a feel for over the phone or through email

True, but you can get higher life time value from the client with increased sales from the engagement session.  Plus it set's the bar and prevents nickle and dimeing.

Only free time I give away is for the consultation.
