helpful Tips for your engagement session

BE YOURSELF

This session is all about you and your love story. Relax, be yourselves, and most importantly—have fun! Don’t think of it as a photo session; instead, imagine it as a regular day together, doing what you love most.

Let your outfits reflect who you are as a couple. Love wearing red lipstick? Go for it! Choose pieces that highlight your best features and fit you well. For the guys—ensure your suit or pants are tailored to fit properly, as baggy clothes can be less flattering.

The goal is to capture your genuine connection, so embrace what makes you you.

GET A LITTLE FANCY (but dress accordingly)

Bring out the heels and bow tie for hotel or urban settings! Long, flowy dresses paired with comfortable shoes are perfect for beach shoots—they create beautiful movement and add a touch of drama to your images. Jeans and button-down shirts are great when we’re capturing moments at your favorite pizza shop.

And don’t forget the details—your engagement ring, meaningful necklaces, and other accessories can add a personal touch to your photos!

DRESS ACCORDINGLY

Consider both the weather and your location when choosing your outfit. For urban settings, opt for something dressier, while more natural environments—like a field or the ocean—call for practical footwear like flats for easy movement. If there’s a chance of rain, bring along your stylish rain boots. Embracing both the environment and the weather will help you feel comfortable and add a unique touch to your photos.

DO SOMETHING FUN TOGETHER

06

What do you love to do together? Whether it’s popping a little bubbly or sharing your favorite macarons—feel free to bring them along for the shoot! Just keep the setting in mind and choose what feels right for the moment.

DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS

Some couples use their engagement session as an opportunity to get creative and make it uniquely theirs. Consider involving your planner or florist to elevate the experience. Imagine an Italian-inspired session with vintage scooters, or renting a sailboat, slipping into a flowing dress, and sharing a breezy, romantic moment with your fiancé. A simple, elegant bouquet—one that looks freshly picked—can also add a beautiful touch. Let your imagination lead the way!

BRING YOUR PUP!

If you've seen my Instagram, you know how much I love my dog, Ollie! Including your pup in your shoot is always a great idea. My only advice is to plan for part of the session to be close to home or have someone available to pick them up. Longer sessions can be tiring for pets, and we want to keep them happy and relaxed throughout.
