Congratulations — you’re engaged! This is such a beautiful and exciting season in your life, and capturing it with professional engagement photos is one of the best ways to preserve the joy, love, and anticipation that come with saying “yes.” As photographers, we love engagement sessions because they’re relaxed, fun, and a perfect way for couples to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Whether you’re camera-shy or a total natural, here’s why engagement photos are a must — and how to make yours shine.


Why Engagement Photos Are Worth It

1. Celebrate Your Story:

Every couple has a unique journey, and engagement photos are a way to tell that story. Whether it’s your favorite coffee shop, the beach where you got engaged, or simply laughing together in a sun-drenched field — this session is all about YOU.


2. Get Comfortable With Your Photographer:

Your wedding day will be full of emotions and fast-paced moments. An engagement session gives us a chance to get to know each other, so by the time your wedding rolls around, taking photos will feel natural and easy.


3. Perfect for Save-the-Dates & More:

Many couples use their engagement photos for save-the-date cards, wedding websites, guest books, and social media announcements. Having beautiful images ready to go makes sharing your news even more fun.


Tips for a Picture-Perfect Session

1. Choose Meaningful Locations:

Think of places that reflect your relationship. It could be downtown, in nature, or somewhere sentimental. The more personal, the better.


2. Coordinate (Don’t Match!) Outfits:

Pick outfits that complement each other and the setting. Aim for timeless over trendy — soft neutrals, simple patterns, and textures photograph beautifully.


3. Embrace Natural Chemistry:

The best photos come from genuine connection. Hold hands, laugh, whisper inside jokes — don’t worry about posing perfectly. I’ll guide you through the session with prompts that feel natural and comfortable.


4. Consider Timing & Light:

Golden hour (the hour before sunset) gives the dreamiest light. If you’re not sure when or where to shoot, I’m here to help choose the best time and location based on your vision.


Let’s Make Magic Together

Engagement sessions are one of our favorite parts of the wedding photography journey. They're full of love, joy, and anticipation — and our goal is to capture all of that in a way that feels authentic to you. If you’re recently engaged and looking for a photographer who’ll make you feel at ease while capturing your unique connection, we'd love to chat!
