some tips that you must know when planning your engagement session

Location


The location of your engagement session is everything for making your photos unique to you and your partner. Whether you are picking your favorite spot, planning a trip together, or where you had your first date.

colors


Black and white is for a timeless feel of your images and creating such a classy feel for your images. Dramatic colors which is on the opposite end of the spectrum, but be sure to confirm the color palette with your photographer. You do not want to match your partner, consider coordination is best for your engagement photos. Choose colors that compliment one another. Opt for deeper and gem tones, neutrals, and cool shades.

poses


Getting candid shots is what I truly love, I feel they are more natural and capture the personality of the two of you. I want to capture what your love feels like, I want to feel your love with every imagine I capture. Are you comfortable with PDA? Did you want to use props for your session? For example, are you both book worms, or do you love to ride the waves?

timing


The time of your session is so important. Typically I love to shoot during golden hour. Are you looking for a nighttime session using the starry sky or pretty lights to give a pop to your nighttime imagery.
