Hint — it’s not “just because.” It’s because I care how your wedding day goes.
Photographer PSA (Fueled by Love & Caffeine ☕️)
Every time someone says, “We don’t want to pay for a complimentary engagement session,” I lose approximately three eyelashes and a tiny piece of my soul.
Let’s set the record straight:
“Complimentary” ≠ “worthless.” It means included—because I want you to have it. Not to check a box, but to actually make your whole wedding photography experience better.
I don’t throw in engagement sessions for funsies (okay, maybe a little bit for funsies). I include them because they’re a total game-changer. Here’s why:
Even if you’re cool and confident in selfies, being photographed together can feel a little weird at first. Engagement sessions give you the chance to ease into it, shake off the nerves, and just have fun. That way, when your wedding day rolls around, posing won’t feel like a chore—it’ll feel natural.
Yes, this is real. No one wants to look like a confused wax figure. During your engagement session, I’ll guide you through what feels natural for you. Think movement, connection, and lots of laughter—not stiff, awkward poses.
Some couples are super playful. Others are romantic, quiet, goofy, introverted, or full of spice. This is our chance to figure out what lights you up, and how I can best capture you being you. I also learn your best angles, how you interact, and what kind of prompts make you laugh or connect.
Come wedding day, I don’t want to be some rando pointing a camera at you while you cry during your vows. I want you to think, “Yay! It’s Christine—our ride-or-die with the camera!”
The engagement session is where we get to vibe, hang, and create trust so that when the big day comes, you already know I’ve got your back (and your best angles).
Not only are engagement sessions a practice round—they’re also a golden opportunity to get stunning, relaxed images of you two in a more casual setting. Think: save-the-dates, wedding websites, framed prints for your home. Win-win-win.
Want scenery? We’ve got it. Want city vibes? You bet. I’m always happy to help you pick the perfect location, but here are some spots I love shooting at:
Whether you want adventure, romance, or some colorful city chaos—we’ll find a spot that feels like you.
Your engagement session isn’t fluff. It’s not a gimmick.
It’s professional foreplay.
It’s where we shake off the nerves, build trust, and get prepped for magic on the big day.
I include it because I give a damn. And I want you to feel that—every step of the way.
Ready to plan yours?
Let’s grab a coffee (on me!) and dream up your perfect session. And hey, if we’re lucky—maybe we’ll get a little mountain glow, a downtown mural, or even a spontaneous puppy photobomb. 😉
