Show Us the Love! The Engagement Session

First and foremost, you should absolutely have an engagement session done for one simple reason: it’s fun! It’s a chance to step away from the wedding planning chaos, pamper yourself a little, and get all dressed up just to snuggle, kiss, and laugh with your best friend for a solid hour or two. What’s better than that?

This time together becomes so much more than just a photo session—it turns into a bonding experience. A lot of the couples I photograph tell me afterwards that their engagement shoot brought them even closer, deepened their connection, and reminded them of why they fell in love in the first place. And honestly? That kind of magic is exactly what these sessions are all about.

Imagine it: You’re holding hands, locking eyes, and resting your head on your partner’s shoulder as the sun sets behind you. There’s no rush. No to-do lists. Just the two of you, fully present, sharing soft smiles and quiet laughter in a setting that reflects your love. In our fast-paced world, how often do we truly get to slow down and just be together like that?

Beyond the Romance—Let’s Talk Practical Perks

Of course, engagement sessions also serve a purpose beyond the warm fuzzies. These gorgeous photos are perfect for save-the-dates, wedding invitations, and even thank-you cards after the big day. And if you’re creating a wedding website, announcement post, or personalized guestbook, professional engagement photos can pull everything together with a polished, meaningful touch.

Not to mention, your engagement photos are a snapshot of this beautiful chapter in your relationship. A season of excitement, anticipation, and daydreaming about your future. Years from now, when you’re flipping through an album with your grandkids—or just reminiscing together—you’ll be so grateful you documented it. These photos aren’t just for now. They’re for forever.

Bonus: Practice Makes Perfect for the Big Day

One of the unexpected benefits of an engagement session is how much it helps you get comfortable in front of the camera. You’ll get to know how I work, what angles you love, and how to pose in a way that feels natural and relaxed. That way, on your wedding day, you’ll feel like total pros—and your photos will reflect that ease and confidence.
