These sessions are a chance to slow down, celebrate your connection, and preserve the raw, joyful, everyday magic of being in love. It's about capturing who you are right now; the laughter, the closeness, the way you look at each other when no one’s watching. These are the memories that will carry you back to this chapter, long after the wedding day has passed.
The excitement, the tenderness, and the undeniable joy of choosing each other, every day, from this moment on.

I believe engagement sessions should feel natural, joyful, and uniquely you. My approach is centered around creating a relaxed environment where your genuine connection can shine. Rather than overly posed moments, I focus on guiding you with gentle direction so that the experience feels effortless and fun, like a date with a camera tagging along.

MY APPROACH
Let's get into it.
engagement sessions START AT $500
Your engagement marks the beginning of a beautiful new chapter — a moment worth celebrating and preserving with intention. Our engagement sessions are designed to capture the authentic connection between you and your partner in a relaxed, meaningful way. Whether we're photographing in a location that holds special memories or exploring somewhere entirely new, this session is more than just photos — it's an experience that reflects your love story
INVESTMENT
Within three weeks, you'll receive a carefully curated gallery that feels like a cinematic glimpse into your love—full of warmth, emotion, and authentic connection. These aren't just engagement photos; they're the first chapter of your visual legacy together. Raw, real, and timelessly beautiful—exactly like your love story.
relive the magic
On session day, expect to move, laugh, whisper, and simply be together. I won't be showing up with a clipboard of stiff poses—I'll be creating gentle prompts that bring out your authentic connection. We'll chase light, find quiet moments, and create images filled with wind-in-your-hair freedom. My direction is intentional but feels effortless, leaving plenty of room for those candid in-between moments that truly tell your story.
breathe it in
Once we've dreamed up your perfect session, I'll guide you through all the details that make magic happen—from my curated styling guide to finding that perfect golden hour light. I'm here to make this process effortless, answering questions you didn't even know to ask. This session isn't about checking a box for wedding planning—it's about creating a beautiful experience that gives you space to connect with each other amidst the wedding whirlwind.
create space
Every beautiful love story deserves to be told authentically. We'll start with a conversation that feels less like planning and more like sharing stories over coffee. I want to hear about how you met, the little moments that define your relationship, and what makes your connection unique. This isn't just about choosing a location—it's about creating a vision for images that feel genuinely you. Because when I understand what matters most in your story, I can capture it in a way that feels real.

Absolutely! I encourage locations that are meaningful to you — whether it’s your favorite hiking trail, the beach at sunset, or a cozy urban corner. If you’re not sure, I’ll send over a list of dreamy spots I love, tailored to your vibe.
can we choose the location?
To ensure the highest quality and consistent style, I only deliver fully edited, carefully curated images. Editing is a key part of my artistic process. It enhances the natural beauty of your photos while preserving the authentic moments and emotions.
do you provide unedited images?
what happens if weather doesn't cooperate?
I keep an eye on the forecast and will work with you to reschedule or find an alternative date if needed. Sometimes even cloudy or rainy days create beautifully soft, natural light that makes your photos truly unique. Plus, your attitude reflects in the images, so don’t let the weather bother you! Sometimes it’s those unexpected moments that make your gallery unforgettable, even if you didn’t know it at the time.
Ideally, engagement sessions are scheduled 6–9 months before your wedding, especially if you plan to use the photos for save-the-dates.
