your engagement session

Now that you’ve picked a date, a photographer, and probably a venue as well, it’s time to celebrate!! These are some of the toughest decisions in wedding planning and you can cross them off your list! Hooray!! Now on to the fun stuff like your engagement session! I include engagement sessions for most of my clients because I truly believe that they are a VITAL part of the entire process. During your engagement session, you’ll have the chance to get to know me, experience how I shoot, how I handle posing, lighting, etc. This session will make a HUGE impact on how the wedding day flows. I’ll arrive on your wedding day already knowing how you two interact, what your best poses are and how to photograph you in a genuine and joyful way!! What I will learn about you during your engagement session is invaluable! You will feel like such pros on your big day because of the great practice you had during your engagement session, and that’s how it should be! Your engagement session can be scheduled anytime before your wedding day. I normally suggest booking it at least 3-6 months in advance to avoid stress. Because my weekends are typically busy, I shoot engagements on weekday evenings, normally from 5-7pm depending on the light and the time of the year. In the winter months, 3-5pm is a normal time frame for an engagement shoot! As you start to plan for your engagement shoot, we will start brainstorming about location ideas. I always send a quick questionnaire to get your feelings about what your overall vision is and we go from there!! I LOVE it when couples pick a location that is special or sentimental to them in some way! If you can’t think of anywhere specific that you would like to shoot, I can help you decide on a location! As long as the light is great, I can make ANY location look awesome! The next few pages will help with the next step of the engagement session process...Choosing your outfits!!
