Engagement Photos That Feel Like You

Engagement Photos That Feel Like You

Engagement photos are often the first time you are professionally photographed together, and they set the tone for everything that comes next. This is not about stiff poses or trying to look a certain way. It is about documenting this season as it really is relaxed connected and uniquely yours.

An engagement session gives you space to slow down get comfortable in front of the camera, and capture your relationship before the whirlwind of wedding planning takes over. No timelines. No pressure. Just the two of you being yourselves!

Why Engagement Photos Matter

Beyond having beautiful images for your save the dates, wedding website, or home engagement photos are about trust and comfort. By the time your wedding day arrives, you already know what it feels like to be photographed together and I already know how you naturally interact, move, and connect.

That familiarity allows for more genuine moments on your wedding day. Less posing and more presence.

Choosing the Right Location

The best engagement locations are not always the most dramatic. They are the ones that mean something to you. A favorite trail downtown streets you walk together a quiet beach or even your own home can be the perfect backdrop.

When choosing a location, think about places where you feel at ease. Comfort always photographs better than anything forced.

What to Wear and What Not to Overthink

The goal is simple wear something that feels like you’re just slightly elevated. Neutral tones, soft textures and outfits that move well on camera tend to photograph beautifully! Most importantly, choose pieces you feel confident in because confidence always shows.

If you are unsure, I am happy to help guide you with outfit ideas that complement the location and season without feeling styled or stiff:)

What to Expect During Your Session

You do not need to know how to pose and you do not need to practice anything beforehand. I will guide you with easy prompts and movement so nothing ever feels awkward or overly directed.

We will focus on natural interaction, walking, talking, laughing, and letting moments unfold as they are. Some of the best images come from the in between moments you do not even realize are happening.

Making the Most of Your Engagement Session

Treat your session like a date. Plan dinner afterward, grab coffee before, or choose a location that feels special to you. The more relaxed and present you are, the more your photos will reflect that.

Engagement photos are not about perfection. They are about connection chemistry and capturing the season you are in just as it is.

my story continues here

For me, photography isn’t just my job. It is my passion and purpose. I’m drawn to the beauty of genuine connection, the way your head rests gently on your spouse’s shoulder, how you throw your head back and laugh as your best friend gives their speech, and the way your parents cry during your vows.  

The little things. The tiny details. The things you never, ever want to forget, captured in honest, true-to-life colors that don’t just document the way things look, but the way they feel. 

Chapter 03.

From slow dancing at sunset to laughing so hard your makeup starts to run, my goal is to document your wedding day in a way that feels like you.
