2019 Favorites – Engagements

I know I have said this before, and I will say it again in the future, but I love shooting engagement sessions! There is just something so fun about celebrating the super short season in a couple’s life that is being each other’s “fiance”. It’s totally different from “just dating”, it’s totally different from “just married”, and it’s totally different from “married for 10 years”. There are different variations of love to each of those stages, but I honestly think “being engaged” is one of my very favorites.

Engagement sessions give me a chance to really get to know my couples. We can chat all we want heading into a wedding day, even meet over a cup of coffee, but hanging out for engagement photos simply takes our friendship to a whole new level. And it’s my favorite. I absolutely love setting that foundation, so that I can show up on a couple’s wedding day, more of an “old friend” than just “another vendor”. It makes for a more relaxed wedding day & truly makes the day so much more fun!
(So, yes, this is my shameless plug, that if you are getting married, whether it’s in a few months or a few years, please make time to do engagement photos with your wedding photographer!)

2019 was an exciting year for engagement photos! I got to shoot some of the happiest couples in some of the most beautiful locations – and looking back thru these simply makes me so excited for all that 2020 has in store!!
