PHOTOGRAPHY THAT IS ELEGANT, CLASSIC, TIMELESS AND ROMANTIC
Engagement
connect with me
I am a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits – which is why I’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!). While they’re great for save-the-dates, I’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward.
Celebrating This Season
the approach
Your engagement session is actually the most important part of your photography experience. It allows us to really get to know one another, AND it allows both of you to get familiar with the way that I work! This is so important because this is the SECRET to creating a ton of gorgeous, genuine portraits on your wedding day!
Once we are done with your engagement session, you will BOTH be pros at this!
After our shoot and seeing the photos now, it's much more relaxing knowing how these things go and knowing we can trust our photos are going to turn out great on our wedding day.
Going into our wedding day with a “practice” shoot and knowing how much we like Ashley in person really takes away a lot of the anxiety we felt leading up to the engagement shoot.
