Engagement photography

Relaxed sessions across South Florida.

Before the celebration

Time for just
the two of you.

An engagement session is a chance to slow down, celebrate this chapter and get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding. The photographs can become your save the dates, your wedding website or simply a record of who you are together, right now.

We give you gentle direction with posing, movement and where to look, while leaving room for the moments that happen naturally. You do not need to know how to pose. Bring each other; we will help with the rest.

Help me choose

A little planning goes a long way

Easy from the
very beginning.

01

Share your vision.

Tell us your preferred date, where you are based and the kind of photographs you love. A beach morning, a garden walk or an evening in the city is a great starting point.

02

Make a simple plan.

We will help choose a location and time that suit the light and your style. We will also discuss outfits, walking between spots and any permits or venue arrangements.

03

Enjoy being together.

On the day, your photographer will guide you through the session. After editing, your photographs are delivered in an online gallery to view, download and share.

Before you book

A few things
you may be wondering.

We have never had professional photos. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Most couples do not arrive knowing how to pose. We will help with where to stand, what to do with your hands and how to move together, giving you time to feel comfortable.

What should we wear?

Choose clothes you feel good moving in and colors that work well together. Soft tones suit the beach and gardens; a dressier look works beautifully with architecture or a hotel setting. Tell us if you would like an outfit change so we can plan for it.

What time of day should we book?

It depends on the location and the look you love. Sunrise can be beautiful at the beach, while later light can suit other outdoor settings. We will recommend a time around the season, available light and the venue’s opening hours.

Do we need a permit for our location?

Some gardens, hotels, museums and city locations require permission, a permit or a separate fee. We will discuss the requirements for your chosen setting and confirm the arrangements before the shoot.

What if the weather changes?

We will stay in touch about the forecast and discuss the best plan for your session. Depending on conditions and the location, that may mean adjusting the time or discussing another date.

How many photographs will we receive?

Our engagement session includes approximately 75–100 edited, full resolution images in an online gallery, without watermarks. The final selection varies with the session. If you need photographs for save the dates or another deadline, let us know when you inquire so we can confirm delivery timing.

Can you photograph a surprise proposal?

Yes. A surprise proposal needs its own plan for timing, positioning and keeping the moment a surprise. Visit our Pop the Question page and tell us what you have in mind.

Maria & Samuel

THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Chris and his team was the best decision we made. They are super talented professionals who pay close attention to detail, are amazing to work with, and have forever left a beautiful mark in our lives. Their work is impressive and carefully crafted. Our highlight video was absolutely perfect – I cried watching it – and I didn’t even cry at my wedding! Their work is so moving! We get to relive the wedding every time we watch it. Needless to say, we were extremely impressed with their videography and photography. Make sure to hire both services!
But let me tell you what also matters: Chris’ creativity & adaptability. This team isn’t just professional, on time, and caring. But they are smart and quickly change a chaotic situation into something that works for everyone. The day of my wedding, it rained, no, it stormed. Most of the locations for photography were wet and could have derailed the sessions otherwise. However, Chris brought umbrellas for us – and the pictures? So so romantic and beautiful with them. In fact, I dare say I was quite happy it rained – they made sure we got awesome and unique shots by working with the rain and given the rushed circumstances – the little amount of light, the puddles, you name it, THEY made sure it didn’t matter. Everything came together amazingly. WE HAD A BLAST! Taking photos and videos. They give you GREAT direction and have a wonderful eye for incredible and unique shots. We couldn’t be happier. Truly, best decision ever. Also – what a pleasure to work with! They were so responsible and full of knowledge and reassurance. Omg, what else can I say? THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I am grateful for that I was able to work with them – all our family members enjoyed them. Do yourself a favor and get them – worth every single dollar.
