You are engaged!! Now what??
A guide to everything you need to know in your engagement season
First of all, congratulations on your engagement! This season goes by so quickly, and I truly believe your engagement photos should feel like a celebration of it, not a stressful item on the wedding checklist.
My goal is to create a session that feels natural, romantic, and full of movement. You do not need to know how to pose, act, or “be good in front of the camera.” I’ll guide you through the entire session so you can focus on being together!
Think of this less as a photoshoot and more as a date night that happens to result in beautiful photos.
Why an engagement session?
Your engagement session is one of the best ways for us to get to know each other before the wedding day.
During our time together, you’ll learn how I work, get comfortable in front of the camera, and discover that being photographed can actually be fun. By the time your wedding arrives, you’ll already know what to expect, which makes portraits feel much more relaxed and effortless.
Many couples tell me that their engagement session was the first time they realized they didn’t have to “perform” for photos, and that’s exactly the experience I want for you!
Choosing a location
The best engagement photos come from locations that match your personalities and the overall feel you’re drawn to. Somewhere that can relate to your relationship!
Some questions to ask yourselves:
- Do we love nature, gardens, or water?
- Do we prefer a more elegant, editorial look?
- Would we rather explore a city or wander through a field at sunset?
- Is there a place that already means something to us?
You don’t need to choose the most dramatic location. Beautiful light and genuine connection matter far more than a famous backdrop.
I’m always happy to help narrow down options based on the season, your outfits, and the vibe you’re envisioning.
