Anywhere that feels like you! If you have a place that is meaningful to your relationship, even better. During our planning call, I will help you think through options based on the time of year, lighting, and your vibe.

Wear something that makes you feel like yourselves, comfortable, flattering, and a little elevated from your everyday look. I recommend coordinating without matching exactly (think complementary colors, not identical outfits). Avoid very busy patterns or logos. I will send you a full style guide before your session with seasonal color palettes and specific tips. Bringing a second outfit is always a great idea!

I recommend booking your engagement session about eight months before your wedding, especially if you want to use your photos for save-the-dates or a wedding website. That said, there is no wrong time! Many couples do their session as soon as they get engaged because it is a wonderful reason to celebrate and get beautiful photos together. I also recommend scheduling your hair and makeup trial for the day of your session, so you can see exactly how it will look with my photography style before the big day. Golden hour (the hour before sunset) is my favorite time to shoot, so we will plan around that whenever possible.

It depends on the package! Several of my wedding collections include an engagement session, which I strongly encourage. It gives us a chance to work together before the wedding day so you feel completely relaxed and natural in front of my camera. If it is not included in your package, you can always add one on.
