Engagement Session
There are two main goals of our time together (besides getting gorgeous photos, of course):
1. Spend more time together and get to know each other better.
2. For me to teach you my posing and prompts method so you're PROS when your wedding day comes!
WHAT TO WEAR
I recommend wearing two outfits: One dressy and one casual. Feel free to go all out for your dressy outfit, and think "date night" for your casual outfit! My biggest piece of advice is to wear outfits that COMPLIMENT each other, not match. You can visit my blog post HERE all about what to wear to your engagement session. There's also more below for more style tips and outfit ideas!
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Our session will last approximately an hour and a half and includes two locations and two outfits. You can expect 75-100 photos in your final gallery. Many couples love using them in guest books and to decorate their reception. I LOVE working with couples to create guest books, there's more about that in the album section!
HOW TO SCHEDULE
Because my weekends are dedicated to weddings (just like yours!), I only schedule engagement sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Our start time is completely based on sunset time for the time of year you're considering! I start sessions 2 hours before sunset. See below to view available session dates!
