Let's create something beautiful!


Engagement sessions are my absolute favorite! Not only because they are supper fun, but this is when I really get to know you both! Of corse I’ll be getting to know you over the phone and as we communicate, but there’s something about being together in person, and I’ll tell you why!


One of the MOST important things, is that during engagement session you’re able to get to know me! Why is that so important? Well, theres a good chance that I’ll be the person you see most on your wedding day,  so making sure you’re comfortable around me before your wedding will allow me to best capture your big day. Imagine if you booked me and never met me in person, and then I show up on your wedding day with a camera following you around all day. Chances are your not going to be feeling too relaxed. I want you both to know me on a personal level, so that when I show up it’s as if your seeing an old friend and you continue to feel relaxed and go about your wedding day not holding back.


The other important thing about engagement photos is so that I can get to know you both as a couple. I want to know how you interact, what makes you laugh, what makes you go in for that passionate kiss! All these things are so important so that when I show up on the wedding day I know how to direct you best and how to get the best pictures possible!

Choosing a date/time


Couple sessions can be booked out anytime before your wedding, or anytime throughout the year if this is for a proposal/anniversary session. My weekends are very busy with weddings, so I try and do most of my couple sessions on weekdays.


As far as time of day, there are two options, the morning, or evening! We really want those golden hour photos, so I schedule my couple sessions either after sunrise, or before sunset.

Choosing a location


Do you have a special spot in mind? Great! If not, I would be happy to suggest some spots based on which backgrounds sound good to you(beach, meadow, etc...).


If you need to get inspiration, below you can check out some couple sessions that I've done that are in different locations.

Choosing what to wear


There are a ton of factors that go into choosing what to wear,

and I know it can be tough to decide which outfit will suit your

photos best!


Here are my GO to Tips:

Wear something comfortable

Wear something that makes you feel like yourself, not what you think you have to wear, or anything brand new or fancy. First things first, I want you to feel like yourselves so that comes out in the photos!


Secondly, wear something that flows and is easy to move around it.  During my engagement shoots I love to have you moving around as much as possible! Weather its walking together, spinning each other around, climbing something for the shot, I’m going to have you moving, because thats part of how you can get some great photos! So for the ladies, I suggest wearing a dress or blouse that is flowy. Not only are they beautiful, but they end up photographing so well with the wind blowing through them.

Consider the location

Wear something that makes sense for the location, and terrain.  You don’t want to look out of place in the environment or wearing stilettos in the sand.


It’s also important to consider how which colors you choose compliment the colors of your environment, without causing them to blend in or get lost in the landscape.

Colors and Patterns

Avoid clashing patterns and choose something that complements each other.  This is pretty straight forward, If you were wanting to wear a floral dress, then choose something for him that is neutral and can complement it. You want to avoid wearing patterns that are completely different, because even though they might look awesome on their own, they do the opposite effect when standing next to each other.

Mindset


Treat the day like a date. I recommend going to dinner before or after, and give yourselves plenty of time to get ready so you can relax and don’t feel rushed. If you feel relaxed, it will show in photos.


Weather


I always try and encourage all my couples to embrace whatever weather they get for their photos. A windy cloudy day might seem like bad weather for you, but it also brings nice even lighting and also wind can make for some really flowy photos! If the weather is extreme like raining, then we can always reschedule!


Photos


After out epic session, I will get the finished photos to you 1-2 weeks after through an online gallery where you can download or print all your photos!

I Can't wait to create something with you!
