Engagement Session Location | Helping You Choose Your Perfect Location

Engagement sessions play a pivotal roll in your wedding experience! They’re not just a way to capture photos before the big day; they’re a relaxed, fun opportunity to connect with your photographer and get comfortable in front of the camera. By the time your wedding day arrives, you’ll feel like pros, and that extra comfort goes a long way in creating natural, candid photos. Selecting the ideal location for your engagement session is paramount to capturing the essence of your relationship in a way that is both meaningful and visually stunning. When choosing a location, consider the feel you want to portray. Do you prefer something more urban, or mountainous? Do you enjoy a southwestern feel, or prefer something with greenery?

We know that choosing a location can be overwhelming, so we have thoughtfully curated some of our favorite locations to assist you in making your decision!
