Engagement Sessions

Engagement sessions can be done with the Sacramento area or we can go outside the area to a place that reflects your relationship; the beach, the mountains, wineries, and the list can go on!

To make your engagement session fun and personal get as creative as possible. These sessions are important because they help us get to know one another better, and you’ll feel more comfortable with me and being in front of the camera on your wedding day. Here are some ideas and tips for locations, outfits and attitudes for the shoot.

*We will work together to choose a location that best fits your personality as a couple.  I’d rather go somewhere that means something to you than go to a park where everyone else always goes to get their pictures.  This way the pictures will mean more to you.  I want you to think outside of the box for this.  Think about where you met, where you got engaged or a favorite hangout.

*Schedule your hair and makeup trial run on the day of our session.  This way you can look extra fabulous and test out the hair and makeup, see how it photographs and make sure it lasts all day.

*Coordinate your outfits.  You want colors that compliment your skin and feel free to be edgy!  Pick an outfit that you feel comfortable in and that flatters your figure.  High heels make your legs look longer, leaner and stronger!  Plus, how could you not feel sexy in heels??  Guys, don’t be afraid to have some fun with your footwear as well.

*Props are so much fun to incorporate into your session!  We can discuss which props would be great for your session but if you both love sports bring jerseys of your favorite teams and a football or baseball and glove, or if you love music and play an instrument bring it!  If you both love to go bike riding bring your bikes.  Feel free to bring your pets to incorporate into the pictures as well.

*And finally, just have fun with the session!  This is your chance to be silly, be romantic, be serious and just be you.  I want you to pretend there is no one around (no one photographing you) and act like you just stole a kiss while no one was looking.  Your wedding is all about celebrating your love and we want to portray your love and your personalities in your pictures.

I can’t wait to see what you will come up with, but don’t worry, if you really can’t think of a good location, I have a bunch of suggestions.
