Tips and Advice
TIP #1

I love engagement sessions! Your engagement session gives me the opportunity to know you and your fiance better before your big day! This is truly the big warm-up before your wedding! As the weather is getting somewhat better =[ , I've been getting many inquiries on scheduling for engagement sessions... Please email or call me to schedule yours!

Here are a few tips of what to wear for your session.

When deciding what to wear, make sure that your colors don't match those of your future spouse but that they blend in with each other, such as different shades of one color or a light color with a dark color. Be sure to coordinate your colors so that they do not clash. Avoid wearing something too bright or with busy patterns. Lastly, make sure that you wear something comfortable. If you do not feel comfortable, then you will not look comfortable. Typically, women wear pants with a sweater or shirt and men wear khaki pants with a buttoned shirt.

Your choice for clothing may also depend on the setting and your own personal preferences. You may want more formal clothing for pictures inside but more of a dressy casual for pictures outdoors. Or you may prefer jeans over pants since you will be dressed up for the wedding. Your choice also depends on your own personalities. For example, if you wear jeans and are comfortable in them, you may prefer to wear them for your pictures. If you still cannot decide, bring several outfits with you to your engagement session and let us choose the pair that looks best on you both as a couple.

My engagement session photos are all yours to keep (just like your photos from your wedding)

What my clients have done in the past with these photos are:
- save the date's
- rehearsal dinner invites
- center piece photos
- newspaper engagement announcement

Get creative and Enjoy!

TIP #2

Try not to chew gum on your wedding day! If you are one of those gum chewers, try to keep it to a minimum... getting caught in the act of chewing on photo (& video) is not too flattering...

as a photographer, i always try to keep an eye out for this... getting caught with a photo mid-chew is not too good... much more a video of you chewing the whole time... imagine in slow-mo (oh no!!)

TIP #3

PAMPER YOURSELF

as your wedding day comes nearer, don't forget to make time to pamper yourself! whether it's the day before your wedding or sometime during the week, make an appointment with all of your attendants for a spa day! not necessarily have to get the works done, but at least a massage! you deserve it! a very relaxing massage will make you glow and shine on your wedding day! (also, don't forget to tell your massage therapist that your wedding is coming up! he/she will definitely take that into consideration so that you're not sore on your wedding day)
