Engagement photography details 

Your engagement session is a chance to slow down and capture what your relationship feels like right now. It is not about perfect poses or stiff moments. It is about connection, laughter, and the quiet in between. Whether we are walking through a place that means something to you or chasing soft evening light, I will guide you in a way that feels natural and easy. The result is a collection of images that reflect your relationship honestly, with warmth, movement, and meaning.

Engagement photography process:

What should we wear to our session?
Wear what makes you feel confident! Neutral tones and soft colors photograph beautifully, and we can definitely plan for outfit changes.
Can we bring our dog?
Absolutely! I just recommend bringing a friend along to hold onto your pup while we grab some shots of just the two of you.
When should we schedule our shoot?
If you are using the photos for save-the-dates, it is best to schedule 6 to 8 months before your wedding.
How long does the session last?
Engagement sessions typically last around 60 to 90 minutes, giving us plenty of time to explore the location, change outfits, and get comfortable.
Will you help us pose?
Yes! I use natural prompts and movement-based guidance so you never feel stiff or awkward in front of the camera.
