"The engagement session allows us to get to know how the two of you interact with each other.  You have the time to get comfortable in front of our cameras.  So when the wedding day comes, we walk in the getting ready room as friends, not just photographers."

Kristin Privette

 

   Being comfortable and relaxed on your wedding day is a priority to us.  We joke that there is usually about five minutes of awkwardness the first time you’re in front of a camera!  The engagement session allows you to get your jitters out, relax and know it’s going to be super easy and fun working with us. Plus, we promise you’ll cherish having these pictures.  They’ll show what life looks like in this stage for you and your fiancé.  Having wedding pictures is absolutely special, but having every day moments captured is also priceless.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

Where you choose to display these moments will influence what you choose to wear. Do you want to display these moments on your wall or you want to print a guest book to display at your wedding? Whether you choose to display these in your home or at your wedding, you’ll want your clothing and environment to match your esthetic.

WHERE SHOULD WE GO? 

What locations are significant to your relationship? It’s fun to brainstorm a place that is special to the two of you. Was your first date for ice cream? Or maybe your fiancé proposed on the beach? Let’s go back!

Consider the feel of your wedding and if you’re using these pictures as part of your decor. If the wedding is a formal event, perhaps we’ll go to a more manicured garden or urban area. If your wedding style is more casual and organic, an open field or natural forest may be the perfect spot.

Pro TIP

Professional makeup - Optional but beneficial!  

It’s the perfect time for a trial. Your makeup artist may or may not include a trial, but we think it may be well worth adding it for your peace of mind.

Highlights and shadows are common words in both photography and the make up industry. Your stylist can help create flattering definition in your face that is very similar to what we’re doing with light.

Coverage is key. Heavier make up is preferred when being photographed, but it’s hard sometimes to know how much. Your makeup artist will know the ideal coverage amount, while still looking natural and appropriate for the environment.
