This is an exciting time because engagement sessions are often the first time they’ve been professionally photographed together, and it’s usually the first time they are in front of my camera!

I absolutely love planning engagement sessions with each and every one of my couples.

Engagement sessions are the best because they give us a chance to get to know one another, how we work together, and to become friends before the wedding day. I’m all about eliminating stress + uncertainty, so engagement sessions are truly wonderful!

During this engagement session planning process, I always encourage my couples to think of engagement session locations that are meaningful to them. It’s important to to choose engagement session locations with meaning… Sometimes it’s the place they had their first date or where they got engaged… And often, it’s the town they fell in love in or a place they love to go together. I also encourage couples to seek variety from their wedding location unless they envision it to be a part of their engagement photos. Whatever it may be, I ALWAYS hope the location reflects the couple in the best way possible (and I’m here to help brainstorm + offer location ideas along the way as well)! I’ve photographed countless locations, so it’s always fun for something new, too!
