EDITORIAL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR COUPLES:

So you are engaged to be married and the biggest thing on your mind (aside from planning your dream wedding) is: how do we get good couples pictures so we can send amazing engagement invitations, engaged Christmas cards & show off that new engagement ring.

Why book your wedding photographer for your engagement photos?

Think of some ways to combine your engagement photo shoot with a fun date. You can always gift your partner or ask for a photoshoot as an engagement gift idea. What makes for amazing editorial and documentary engagement photos is incorporating a hobby or a favorite place with photos so you can feel confident and feel like yourselves.

My specialty is crafting every couples photoshoot as an experience with a curated mood board, help picking out the perfect location and outfits and help with couple photo poses and prompts.

Which option is right for you?

One of the most important decisions is when should we take our engagement photos (I recommend 6 to 9 months prior to your wedding) and where to get engaged?

Choosing the perfect location for your engagement is a significant decision. Here are some factors to help you:

Choose a secret or meaningful spot. This could be where you first met, had your first date, or a place you both love. Make it fun and memorable! Do you love the city, the beach, parks, coffee, wine dates? Pick a spot that is aesthetic but also represents a location you both enjoy so everyone is having the best time.

If you're not sure or want some more recommendations, I am happy to help guide you.
