Engagement Consultation and Tips

While capturing the journey of your courtship, we want to customize a shoot to specifically show who you both are as a couple.  During our initial consultation, we’ll ask you a few questions to figure that out.  Here are helpful tips for those who may feel a bit nervous to jump in front of the camera.

 

1.  RELAX

We want to capture you in your most natural, loving, well being state.  We will reposition you if we need to, but for the most part, we want you to just be YOU!

 

 

2.  ALLOW US TO OBSERVE

Sometimes you may “forget” we are around and that is when we feel the feeling of being a “fly on the wall”, and guess what…we LOVE it!

 

 

3.  Props are always fun!

Feel free to bring anything that may reflect your personality (books, food, skateboards, games, cooky glasses, animals……..you get the idea…lol)

 

4.  Don’t be afraid to be “silly in a fun way” if that’s who you both really are.
