The number one question couples ask when planning their engagement photos is “What’s a good spot?”  We ask them two things, what’s your story and what’s your wedding style?  

If you and your financé have a unique story; met at a café, during a baseball game or on a beach, we would love to photograph this milestone in your relationship at that very same place.  

If you don’t have a special go to, then opt for something unlike what your wedding style will be.  For example, if you’re planning a summer country wedding with soft pastels and wild flowers, let’s turn things up for the engagement shoot by adding some bold tones in a sunset urban location.  

All of our clients receive an online copy of our Love Story Style and Location Guide that has a more in depth look at locations and outfit colour pallets.

In the Comfort of your Own Home
What better way to personalize your photo session than having it in your very own home.  If this is your first professional photo shoot or you’re not sure what to expect, the familiarity and comfort of your own living space can create some spectacular photos.  Whether shooting in your environment for a lifestyle session or setting up a portable portrait studio for a more produced look, shooting in your home can sometimes be the best option.  This will also save on travel time and perhaps allow a few outfit changes should you choose.
