What to Expect

 

First off—congratulations! Your engagement is such an exciting time, and I’m honored to help you capture this chapter of your love story. Engagement sessions are all about celebrating the two of you, your connection, and your personalities in a fun and relaxed way.


I aim for a mix of candid and lightly posed images, capturing natural laughter, movement, and those in-between moments that feel so you. Whether we’re strolling through a park, cozying up in your favorite coffee shop, or exploring the city at sunset, we’ll create a gallery of timeless images that showcase your love.

What to Wear

For her

• Flowy dresses, skirts, or fitted outfits that highlight your silhouette always photograph beautifully.

• If you prefer pants, go for structured pieces with soft layers to add movement.

• Comfortable shoes if we’ll be walking a lot (heels can be great for city sessions, but bring a backup pair!).

For Him

A well-fitted button-up, henley, or sweater with dark jeans or chinos works well.

• Layers like a blazer or a jacket can add interest and variety.

• Avoid bulky shoes—sleek, neutral-toned footwear looks best.

For All

• Stick to neutral, earth tones, or muted colors for a soft, romantic look.

• Avoid loud patterns, logos, or neon colors, which can be distracting.

• Textures and layers (knits, linen, flowy fabrics) add depth and dimension to photos.

• Coordinate, but don’t match exactly—complementary colors look best together!

• Bring a second outfit if you want variety (one casual, one dressy is a great combo!).

What To Bring

• Accessories: A stylish hat, scarf, or jewelry can add a personal touch.

• Props (optional): Champagne, a cozy blanket, or something meaningful to your relationship.

• Touch-up kit: Lip balm, powder, a small brush, and water to stay fresh.

• Comfortable shoes for walking between spots.

Freshly groomed hair, trimmed nails, and even a professional makeup application can boost confidence.

Think ABOUT MOVEMENT

Engagement sessions are fun and interactive! Be ready to walk, spin, dance, and laugh together.

What Happens After your Session?

After our session, I’ll carefully select and edit the best images. Your final gallery will be delivered within 3-5 weeks via an online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos. If you’re interested in prints or albums, I can guide you through options to preserve your memories beautifully.


Final Tips & Reminders


• Be yourselves! The best photos come when you relax and have fun.

• Don’t worry about posing. I’ll guide you every step of the way.

• Trust the process. Even if it feels silly in the moment, I promise it’ll look amazing on camera!

• Let me know if you have any special requests! If there’s a shot you’ve been dreaming of, I’d love to make it happen.


I can’t wait to capture this special time for you! If you have any questions before your session, just let me know.


See you soon!
