Engagement photos don’t have to be all about perfect poses and fancy outfits. If you’re looking for a session that feels more like you—fun, relaxed, and maybe a little unexpected, I always encourage couples to recreate date night for their photos! Here are some of my favorite ideas!
Read MoreEngagement photos can be intimidating but they definitely don’t need to be! A lot of folks stress over the perfect location for the photos, but the best location is always one you feel the most comfortable at. You don't want your engagement photos to feel stiff or forced. They should feel like you. If home is where you love to spend time together, why not let it shine in your photos? Is there anything cuter than the two of you, in your natural habitat, doing what you love. Whether that’s making homemade pasta, dancing around the kitchen, or just curled up on the couch together, these are the moments that deserve to be captured.

And wanting to be considerate of safety of everyone, we decided to scrap the whole thing and just do something small in our backyard while we still have outdoor weather. We love halloween and figured a hallowedding would make for a fun story.
Engagement shoots are such an important part of the photographer-couple relationship. I like to think of the engagement shoot as a practice run before the big day. Having your photo taken can seem intimating and I love being able to show my couples how fun and easy it can be.
