Why do we need an Engagement Session?


All of our wedding packages come with a complimentary engagement session. It is very important for me to get to know you as a couple and for you to get to know me as a photographer before your wedding day. It is very awkward when you do not know the person you are interacting with on one of the most important days of your life! I want your pictures to come out natural and for you to feel comfortable. So I highly recommend having an Engagement Session. 

When planning the session, we tell all our clients that there are no rules! Engagement Session is suppose to reflect who you really are as a couple. Where did you meet? Do you have a favorite bar/restaurant or hangout place? Do you have specific interests or hobbies as a couple?  Are you homebodies who love to cuddle at home with your dog? Are you urban or country? These are just a few things that you might want to incorporate with the session so we can capture images that are uniquely you.

What to wear to your Engagement Session?

Dress to Impress! If you are a Rocker dress like one. If you are into the country scene, then wear boots and jeans. I like couples who dress up for their session. It makes me happy. =) Wear Solid Colors and Dress the Same. It looks best to dress alike and it really looks better in portraits. 


Check out Danae and Terry aka THE FASHIONISTAS and see how they coordinate the color purple. Simple but stylish! 


Do you offer pictures on CD/DVD?

Yes! You get a complimentary copy of the CD/DVD of your images with the purchase of an album. If you choose a custom package without an album, then you may purchase the CD or DVD. Although, I maintain copyright of the images, you are free to reproduce them as you'd like. I do recommend using a professional lab, and I will give you some recommendations when you receive your disc. All your images will have to go through a MAKEOVER. Yes, they have to be post processed for 2-3 weeks.  

 Pictures get a MAKEOVER!

After any shoot (Engagement, Bridal, Day After, or Wedding Day), all of your pics go through a MAKEOVER! I have to adjust the brightness, contrast, color temperature, etc... I give your pictures a little color boost when I enhanced them. When I edit them, I want to give it a different feel and make it look like a painting or a piece of art.
