Because this isn’t just photography—it’s the way you’ll remember everything.

Whether you're planning a wedding, recently said “yes,” or just want to freeze this chapter of your love story — engagement sessions are a time to soak it all in. No pressure. No expectations. Just you two, in your element.

This is the part of the story where the world slows down. Where you’re wrapped up in each other. Where laughter, stolen glances, and soft moments speak volumes. These sessions are meant to feel like a slow Sunday morning — intentional, unrushed, and undeniably you.

FAQs

When should we book our session?

Most couples book 2–4 months in advance, especially if you're aiming for a specific season or weekend or if you need your photos for Save the Dates, Invitations, etc. Weekday sessions are more flexible, but weekend availability is very limited.

How do we book a session?

Fill out my inquiry form, and I’ll get back to you with availability. To reserve your date, you’ll select your package, fill out the contract, and pay a 50% non-refundable retainer. Once that’s done — you're officially booked!

Do you offer proposal coverage?

Yes! I offer discreet proposal coverage starting at 1.5 hours, with an option to add post-proposal engagement portraits. Let’s plan the perfect surprise together.

Not at all! These sessions are perfect for proposals, anniversaries, or even “just because.” Love is worth documenting at every stage.

Whenever I look back on her photos, it takes me right back to that special moment — for that, I’m forever grateful. Highly recommend her, her services, and her professionalism!"
