Why Engagement Sessions Are Invaluable For Couples


A Prelude to your Wedding Photography


Engagement sessions offer a wonderful introduction for you both to be in front of the camera

Very few of us are used to having photographs taken of ourselves frequently and your engagement session allows for us to get together informally at a relaxed setting and provides a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know each other more and for you both to feel at ease and comfortable in my presence and see how I work. Come your wedding day those initial nerves of being photographed will have hopefully passed as you'll be familiar with how I work and at ease in my presence.


Beautiful Keepsakes


The photographs from your session form part of your wedding story and memories that capture and document your excitement and love for each other in the lead up to your wedding day.


Expressing Yourselves


Engagement sessions provide couples with the freedom to express their personalities and style. Whether you're looking for a relaxed and more casual, carefree vibe or a formal, elegant look your engagement session is a blank canvas for self-expression.


Building a Connection


I work closely with my couples during their engagement session which helps to build a wonderful connection

I work calmly, I'm empathetic and sensitive. I'll offer gentle direction and suggestions when appropriate to help get the very best from your experience and photographs

Your session enables me to understand your dynamic, preferences, personalities which helps me to produce beautiful wedding photographs on your special day
