Engagement Session Photos
WE love engagement sessions for so many reasons. Placing two people in love, in front of our camera really inspires us to create romantic and beautiful photos.
Engagement sessions are fun because you can totally personalize the theme to many the shoot all about you as a couple. We can personalize your shoot in many ways such as: picking a location that suits you, choosing a great outfit, and bringing special props along if you feel they would add to your look.
Our favourite locations are beaches, parks, and fields. WE personally prefer natural looking backgrounds.

Typically, couples want to use at least one of the photos for their save-the-dates – so in this case sooner is better. If you don’t care about save-the-dates, your next consideration should be location. If you have a specific place in mind, perhaps a spot that’s special to you both, that location may look better at certain times of year more than others.

Do you photograph the engagement sessions in your studio or outdoors? I don’t recommend to have engagement session in a studio environment simply because the look and feel in studio is more formal and you will have limited background options.
