Catie + Dion

Catie and Dion’s wedding was super chill and beautiful. They choose a smaller package and they did not a large amount of coverage. The venue they choose was absolutely beautiful. Timing was an issue and we did end up losing light faster than we wanted to to capture more couple photos but we got good ones. Catie and Dion made sure to add their kids into the day and they even make little activity bins for the kids to play with during the reception.

Why Book an Engagement Session?

Why You Should Book an Engagement Session

Engagement sessions are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture the love, joy, excitement and anticipation in the days leading up to your wedding.

5 Reasons to Book an Engagement Session

To Celebrate and Have Fun!

You said YES! Let’s celebrate.

This is such n exciting time in your life and some celebration is in the cards. Planning a wedding can be stressful, there’s a bunch of decisions to be made. This is the time to set that all aside and spends some time having fun and celebrating together, before all the craziness.

Announcement

An engagement session gives you unique and beautiful professional photos to share with all your friends and family. Use these to announce your engagement and share your love story! You can use them for any digital or printed materials for the wedding like save-the-dates or invitations.

Create Memories

This is special time and season for you. Having these photos to look back on and reminisce in 10, 20, 50 years is so special. The power of photography allows you to document and have these memories of specific times in your life that you can look back on. The location for the shoot can contribute to this. Choose a location that has some meaning or connection to your love story and relationship.

Ice Breaker

This is the perfect opportunity to get to know your photographer and they can get to know you as well! It gives the photographer a chance to figure out what works best for you. Establishing a relationship with your wedding photographer is key. The more familiar, the more relaxed and comfortable.

Finding Comfort & Easing Fear

This is the time to experiment, learn and find comfort in being in front of the camera. Not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera and that is okay. This is the opportunity to see yourself in pictures, get practice in before the big day and allows you the time to ease the nerves when you are not the center of attention.

Getting Ready Tips

There is always so much going on with wedding planning that sometimes you get so stressed about what you should have ready for the morning of your wedding. Today I would like to help you out by providing some TIPS to make “Getting Ready” photos a breeze! I have a wedding guide that I have created to help you be prepared for your wedding photos!

Having everything together makes it so much easier for the photographer yo capture beautiful images, but it will also make the bride feel less stressful coming into wedding day. That is why I have made a wedding guide.

Photographing Friends..

I love it. I can enjoy your wedding while I photograph it. I don’t mind.

A lot of people in my circle have hired different photographers so that I can enjoy the day.
In my head… It kills me. I end up staring at the photographer the whole time and totally judging them.
On the other hand, I do respect the fact that my friends would like to have me there as a guest.

My friends hired me for their elopement in October! It was great knowing my client already. I think I prefer having my camera in my hand anyways because i’m always so awkward.

Check out this Fall elopement.

The elopement was at Allegany State Park. It was pretty nice out. The sun was high during the ceremony and totally shining right on the couple. We took a trip to the stone tower to get some great couple photos for them. That area of the park totally brought out the fall colors.
