Your Engagement Photographer

Why Have an Engagement Session?

An engagement shoot is a great way to feel comfortable in front of the camera, helping you relax and gain confidence before your wedding day. It also allows you to build a rapport with your photographer, ensuring a smoother experience. Plus, the photos can be used for save-the-dates, wedding websites, or reception displays, adding a personal touch to your celebration. 

How to Choose Your Location?

Choosing the perfect location for your engagement session can be challenging. Some couples opt for a sentimental spot, like where they had their first date or got engaged, while others select a setting that matches their style and vision. Consider factors like season, lighting, permit requirements and accessibility to ensure the best experience. Most importantly, choose a place that feels authentic to you as a couple! Below, we’ve listed some great engagement shoot locations. Feel free to ask us if they’d be a good fit for your session date.
