Telling Your Love Story Through Authentic, Candid, and Timeless Wedding & Engagement Portraits

What to Expect for your Engagement Session

Finding a person to share your story with, and to create new chapters with, is no easy venture, but you have done it! I believe that finally becoming 'one' with another person is truly life's greatest adventure. Your relationship teaches patience, forgiveness, selflessness and unwavering love. You learn that a relationship isn't just 50/50 - it's 100/100 - and you have a lifelong partner to explore life with. An engagement session helps capture the celebration of this love and connection between you and your partner before you take your vows.

I help you plan an amazing date with your fiance and then I'll come along to document it! Whether that means a simple walk in the forest, a trip to the fair, a bike ride through the park, or swimming in the lake, I want you to choose something that showcases your personalities, interests, and things you love to do together. The best part about it is that the only thing you need to do is HAVE FUN - I will take care of the rest. I will give you lots of fun prompts to get you to loosen up and enjoy your time in front of the camera.
