Before the wedding

Maybe you are planning a surprise proposal. Maybe you want an engagement session before the wedding, or photos for your Save the Dates and invitations. I can help with all three.

I bring the same care to a one-hour session that I bring to a full wedding day. Instead of stiff poses, I keep you moving and laughing, so the photos look like the two of you.

Questions

How far in advance should I book?

Engagement sessions book quickly, especially in spring and fall. I recommend reaching out at least 6 to 8 weeks in advance, particularly if you have a specific date or location in mind. For proposals, even a few weeks notice is usually enough.

Can you keep a proposal secret?

Absolutely. This is one of the most important parts of proposal coverage. I will coordinate directly with the proposer, arrive early to get into position, and stay completely hidden until the moment happens. Your partner will have no idea I am there.

Where should we shoot?

Anywhere that feels like you. A meaningful spot, a favorite neighborhood, a park, a rooftop, the Jersey Shore. I can suggest locations based on the look and light you are going for. The best sessions happen somewhere you actually like, not just somewhere that photographs well.

What if we are not comfortable in front of a camera?

Most people feel awkward at the start of a session, and that is completely normal. My job is to get you moving, laughing, and forgetting the camera is there. By the end of the session you will wonder why you were nervous at all. The best images almost always come in the last 20 minutes.

Can we use these for our wedding invitations?

Yes. You receive full printing rights with every session, which means you can use your images for Save the Dates, invitations, wedding websites, framed prints, and anything else you want. No restrictions.
