Consultation
Consultation involves understanding your vision and ideas for your wedding day. We will bounce ideas about hair & make up, wardrobe, locations, and venues. We could even chat about a tentative timeline. We will also be discussing what type of engagement shoot you may want to consider - casual or semi-formal. Visit our blog to get some ideas and inspiration.
Pre-Session
An engagement photoshoot will allow us to better understand your style and. Have fun while we capture some candid photos during your posed & non-posed interactions. We will cover your wardrobe and style ideas before the engagement shoot.
Shooting
You’ll have fun, feel comfortable, and get beautiful photos! Before we start a session we should have decided and planned out the day from our consultation, so enjoy what you have prepared!

Viewing Session Or Proofing

Do I really need videography and photography on my wedding day?
Videography and photography each satisfy different needs. While they are both family heirlooms you can cherish and share, videos are memories in motion.

Photography is a timeless format that can be transformed into any product desired. Videos are easy to store, share, and watch in one click.
