This magazine also includes our vendor list of some of the most amazing vendors in the area!

We'll talk through location ideas and and schedule it either around sunrise or sunset for that optimal glow! I'll help you select outfits, talking through what works well on camera as well as send you a link to my Pinterest guide. That guide has lots of color combinations and wardrobe suggestions!

Engagement sessions are great for save-the-dates but are also there to help you become comfortable in front of our cameras!

Engagement sessions are a special season that we love documenting. This session is not only about celebrating your engagement it's also about building trust! We want to spend this time with you to get to know you both as a couple and how you interact! Believe me, being photographed can feel awkward but that's what we're here for! When trust with us is built, that will allow for the most genuine moments and emotion! Plus your wedding day photos will be a breeze!

Can we skip the engagement session?

I always love to suggest neutrals for the light and airy look. For her a flowy dress which is  always my go to! They're flattering, comfortable and give lots of movement to your images. For him, I suggest dressing up in coordinating neutrals  but not too matchy.

I will share with you a link to my Pinterest board along with other suggestions to help you pick the perfect outfits! 

what should i wear to my session?

f.a.q.

Absolutely, YES! We believe that your images shouldn't just live on your computer or smart device but be on your walls and in an heirloom album. That album is one you'll look through often and remember the happiest day even in your hardest moments. It's a carefully curated story book of a day where you promised forever to each other and celebrated with your closest family and friends. 

We want choosing an album and printing your images to be easy. We offer a variety of options to take the stress away!

Do you offer albums and prints?

f.a.q.

I think planners are a must for having a stress free day! They are there with you through out the planning process and wedding day to make sure everything runs smoothly and you don't have to worry about a thing! Why add more to your plate!

I have a list of amazing planners who I've worked with and recommend!

Should I hire a planner?

f.a.q.

You'll need to nail down your wedding date and venue first and once you have that we'd love to hear from you! On average, we book about a year in advance and prime dates usually go fast! 
We only accept 10 wedding commissions a year, so the sooner you reach out and schedule a consultation the better!
