How to Prepare For Your Engagement Session
Preparing for your engagement session is essential to make the most of your photography experience with me. As your first time being professionally photographed as a couple, it's natural to have questions about timing, attire, and posing.
I'll guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident. Whether it's a sunrise or sunset shoot, opt for attire that reflects your personal style. And rest assured, posing is my responsibility!
Booking Your Engagement Shoot
Ready to book? It's simple! Start by exploring my portfolio and engagement blog posts. Then, reach out to receive my pricing guide and discuss available dates and locations. Once we've settled on the details, I'll send over the contract and invoice for a hassle-free booking experience.
Within a month of your shoot, expect to receive a minimum of 65 fully edited, downloadable images—perfect for sharing with loved ones!
Key Considerations for Your Engagement Photography
Timing: Engagement sessions typically last 1.5 hours, providing ample time for creativity and relaxation. I recommend starting the session 2 hours before sunset for optimal lighting.
Locations: Whether it's the vibrant streets of Lisbon or a scenic coastal backdrop, we'll find the perfect setting to capture your love story.
What to Wear: From classic neutrals to bold jewel tones, choose attire that complements your style and avoids distracting patterns or logos.
Hair & Makeup: Consider hiring a professional artist for a polished look that photographs beautifully. Or feel free to express your natural self—either way, you'll shine!
Props & Planning: Add personal touches to your shoot with sentimental items or creative props. And don't forget about your engagement ring—capture it in all its sparkling glory!
Relax and Have Fun: Nervous about being in front of the camera? Don't worry—I'll make sure you feel at ease and enjoy every moment of your session.
Additional Tips for Your Engagement Session
Leave unnecessary items in the car to stay focused and avoid distractions.
Arrive on time to maximize your 90-minute session.
Consider incorporating your furry friend into the shoot, but be prepared to have some photos without them.
Family portraits are available upon request—just let me know your preferences!
