CELEBRATE this new
chapter of your story with images
that LOOK & feel like you!!
Tampa Engagement PHotographer
Have beautiful photos to share on your wedding website or Save the Dates!!! (finally some photos that aren't selfies or cellphone photos!!)
Have portraits that you'll feel represent your relationship on a day-to-day basis. On your wedding day, you'll be dressed to the 9's, but at your engagement session, I encourage a casual outfit along with a more dressy one! That way you have portraits that you can frame and surround yourself with, that feel like "YOU".
If you have specific insecurities, you can confide in me and I'll take the lead in directing you in a way that highlights your favorite features so you can be confident and feel as stunning as you look!
You want to feel comfortable and confident on your wedding day, knowing that you'll love the end result because you ADORED your engagement portraits - so you have PROOF that you can trust my work and process!
You'll get to see firsthand the process I use to guide and direct you to achieve the most flattering portraits, while also setting up candid moments to really showcase your beautiful personalities! Most of my prompts are to encourage interaction between you as a couple, gifting you those romantic, intimate, natural photos that you'll treasure for a lifetime!
You don't want a total stranger, walking into your getting-ready room on the wedding day! You want to ensure I understand your personalities, and how you interact together before your wedding day even arrives so I can capture your story and guide you in a way that suits your needs best!!
This is why engagement portraits matter
Why should you EXPERIENCE
an engagement session with your wedding photographer?
It’s time to create
photos that represent YOU beautifully!!
Having a professional photographer in your corner will help you breathe easier. Trusting me to listen to your VISION and understand what you VALUE most in your engagement photographs.
Most of us aren't naturals in front of the camera
and I don't expect you to be! As your Tampa engagement photographer, you have access to my knowledge in natural posing, creating natural candid moments, and my style guide to aid in finding the perfect outfits and location for your photoshoot!!
But you'll walk away feeling like a model!
You DON"T need to to be a model, have ANY sort of experience or have all of your POSES figured out!

It's basically date night for you and your fiancé, so plan ahead of time to soak in every moment of your engagement session, making memories together!! My goal is for you both to have a blast, look incredible, and feel comfortable to be yourselves!!
Within 48 hours, you'll receive sneak peeks - usually around 10 images, so you can see for yourselves HOW STUNNING your session was! Within two weeks after your session you'll receive your full gallery of 50-100 images that you won't believe are YOURS.
Reach out and reserve a date on my calendar!! I recommend booking about 3 months out from your desired date. Engagement sessions are available on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings or evenings! Time is totally dependent on the time of year!

Fluorescent colors
Some things to consider AVOIDING
when planning for your session!
“pivot" as Ross Geller would yell!!!
Pro Tips from your photographer
I always recommend choosing a soft color paired with a darker one. Fluorescent colors can cast their color and effect your skin tone.
AVoid wearing a lot of green
Because I almost always incorporate a green, natural background, you'll blend right in. Dark green & mint greens are a better choice!
Avoid bringing a lot of items
I recommend bringing along maybe one bag to hold your props, purse, wallet, and phones - but I don't want you to be hindered by a lot to carry as we explore & keep a natural flow to your photos!

PRO TIPS FROM YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Once you engaged and planning all the things for your wedding day, it can be SO EASY to get caught up in the stress, challenges, logistics and let's be real - the color-coded spreadsheets.
It's easy to forget about what all of this is ACTUALLY about - Celebrating your relationship, connection and commitment to each other!!
Your engagement session is the perfect opportunity to reconnect, remind yourself of what is ACTUALLY important, and see your beautiful love showcased in your portraits. This is how you'll get photos that you'll cherish for a lifetime. You've found your soulmate!

I deliver a quality gallery full of variety ranging from photos that show off the gorgeous nature landscapes with you both as the focal point all the way to the small, sweet, intricate details like your engagement ring!
I always recommend starting your session about at sunrise or 2 hours before sunset! This soft, glowy light is the most flattering and is absolutely magical!! I'll always send you my opinion on when we should start based on your location!! Time's differ between the beach and a more woodsy/ garden location!
You'll receive your full gallery of edited photos within 2 weeks of your session date! Wanna know a secret? I also send sneak peeks within 48 hours of your session, so you don't have to wait the full 2 weeks before seeing some of your gorgeous images!
Of course!! I love including your sweet pets! We can start off the session with these images, and possibly have a family member or friend join us so they can care for your pet!! We usually only need about 10-15 minutes with your fur baby to get really sweet images!!
No worries at all!! We can simply reschedule our session for another date!! I keep a number of dates available just for this kind of situation! We can keep on eye on the weather up till your session date and decide what we should do anywhere from 12-72 hours in advance!

Because our weekends are typically full of weddings and family time, I only do engagement sessions on weekdays, Monday, Tuesday, & Thursdays!! Weekend dates are available subject to availability and an additional fee.
Many couples like to do photos 6 months-1 year before the wedding for Save-the-Dates and a wedding website. Others like to wait until closer to the date. If you're unsure, find a season that is easier on your schedule and allows for cooler weather!!
Your engagement session is the PERFECT time to go ahead and get that hair and makeup trial done before the wedding day so you can see how it looks in person and in photos!! However, it is not a must. I'd recommend doing what works best for YOU.
No worries at all!! Honestly, most people aren't!! Including myself without direction!! ;) I'll be there to help guide you along every step of the way! My couples are always surprised to find out how easy and fun the photo-taking process is!! We always have a great time together!
I can't wait
to chat!
I'm a huge believer in quick phone calls over multiple drawn out emails that don't give you the exact information you need! You have a wedding to plan, so let's save you some time by connecting through a 10-15 minute call to ensure my availability and learn about your vision for your beautiful wedding day or dream up engagement session ideas!!
