Engagement Couple Photo Information

I absolutely recommend that every couple that is engaged should have an engagement couple session together. Let’s face it… most people won’t have had a professional photo shoot before. And the idea of a professional photographer taking your photo can be an uncomfortable thought and for some people, the idea can fill them with total anxiety. Especially if you think you always look awkward in photos.

You are not alone. Most of my couples have never had a professional shoot before and most are a little nervous. I see it as my job to make sure you have a really fun and amazing experience at your engagement shoot. Because that is how to get natural, fun and creative images of the two of you. Not stiff poses or awkward expressions. Just beautiful and natural images that will spark joy.

Here are some reasons why engagement photography is an awesome idea:

• Meet and get to know your photographer.
• Get used to having your photo taken and see what photoshoot is like. This will get rid of any nerves about having your photo taken and will give you one less thing to worry about on your big day.
• You get photos of the two of you in casual clothes that you can display around your home.
• Your engagement is a major time in your life and all milestones in your life should be captured.
• There is no stress or time pressure, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Planning your engagement photoshoot should feel exciting and stress-free, so here are answers to some of the most common questions couples have. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, feel free to reach out—I’m here to help!

What should we wear for the session?

Your outfits should reflect your personality and make you feel confident and comfortable. Neutral tones, soft textures, and minimal patterns tend to photograph beautifully, but most importantly, wear something that feels you. I can also provide styling tips to help you coordinate your look.

Can we choose the location?

Absolutely! This is your story, and the location should hold meaning for you. Whether it’s a favourite spot, somewhere sentimental, or a setting that reflects your style, we’ll work together to find the perfect place to capture your love. I can also give you a few options to help you decide.

When should we do the shoot?

The timing of your engagement session can make all the difference. Ideally, plan your shoot a few months before your wedding to give you plenty of time to use the photos for save-the-dates or other pre-wedding needs. It is also a good idea to time your hair & makeup trial with your shoot.

What time should we do the shoot?

The best time for your engagement session is towards sunset, during “golden hour,”. The soft, warm light during these times creates a beautiful, flattering glow. So I would recommend that you start your session 90mins before sunset so that you are in the best light possible.

How long until we get the engagement photos?

I know you’ll be excited to see your images, so I work hard to deliver them as quickly as possible! Typically, you can expect your fully edited gallery of your session within 2 weeks. But we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
