planning engagement photos
happy leap day! its february 29th 2020 and as i’m gearing up for lots of engagement sessions in march i wanted to share all about my sessions and how i try to make this a super fun experience for my brides. your engagement photos should highlight who you are as a couple. it seems that sometimes your wedding day can be planned by what other people want, your mom’s expectations, your guest list, etc. but your engagement session is all your own. i like to make my sessions feel more like a date night than just another thing to check off your wedding planning checklist. when you book your wedding day with me i will send you some fun questionnaires that help me get to know you as a couple so we can tailor your session to fit you perfectly. its my goal to capture people as they are!
location is a major decision when starting to plan your session. some of my favorite places are pioneers park, downtown lincoln, mahoney state park, and coffee shops! we want to go somewhere you feel happy and comfortable. going back to where the actual engagement happened is a popular choice of my couples. feel free to bring anything that symbolizes your relationship (your dogs, coffee, champagne). we can pack a lot of photos into this hour long session and i’m open to outfit changes and location changes if you’re into that.
this is the perfect time for us to get to know each other a bit better and practice how we will work together on wedding day! many of the “poses” and prompts i use during our bride+groom session are those we will do during the engagement session. both of these portrait sessions are my favorite thing to photograph and i strive to provide you with beautiful pictures of you and your love to print off, hang up, share on facebook, and love unconditionally. you two are the most important thing, the whole reason for this joyous occasion!
if this sounds like the best thing ever and you want to schedule a session to see how this all works, contact me! i’d be so happy to learn all about you and your boo and get you some beautiful photos that capture who you are. i can’t wait to work with you!!
devin + chris caught the last nice day of fall before winter smacked us in the face in nebraska. by the end of the evening they ended up running through the fields and throwing on their northface jackets to keep warm. these two got engaged in IRELAND and are planning a september wedding here in nebraska.
