I LOVE the mushy stuff! And that’s what I refer to an e-session as. The “good-stuff” as Kenny Chesney would say. The stuff that makes you remember, just why you are getting married in the first place! Go back to those feelings that attracted you to each other. Hug, touch, whisper, just spend time together without anyone around. Enjoy each other. I LOVE these sessions for the pure fact that you will get comfortable with my camera. Make a date and I’ll come along for the ride!

Questions? Just scroll past the pretty photo.
Where do we meet for engagement photos and when?
Where we meet totally depends on you. Remember, I’m a professional light chaser. I can find good light almost anywhere. Spend some time thinking about places that are important to you. Places you hung out a lot. Places you love. We can chat about it the week before and work out a plan of action. If you LOVE big wide open spaces, we’ll need to finish there 30 minutes before sunset.
Do you have any suggestions on how many changes of clothes to bring? I was thinking something dressy and then something more casual…maybe 2 or 3 changes??
This sounds great! We can start with the dressy and then move on to something casual. I’ll tell you what I tell all girls, you know the jeans that make you look good? The ones you stand different in? The ones that make you feel beautiful and sexy and wonderful? Choose those and plan the rest of the outfits around them. Boots are good, heels are better. Textures are GREAT! The only thing to stay away from is something you or him probably never wear. Big bold STRIPES with loud logos. You want your photos to be beautiful, classic sexy and fun. So, choose clothes accordingly. And keep in mind, you do not have to match. This isn’t cheesy family photos, this is the two of you and you should look like, YOU.
Also do you care if we do some with our dog Bella? She is a chocolate lab and minds about half the time! haha
Of course I don’t care! Bring her! It sounds like fun. And she is obviously a part of your relationship, so you are thinking in the right way. Let’s include her and I know of a place we can go and the three of you can play. Maybe have a way of keeping her in the car for the dressy ones? Unless the shedding is to a minimal.
Okay, Tom, the groom has seen your work and he claims he’s not doing the “mushy stuff”. What if we look like total dorks just standing there?
Ha! I don’t photograph dorks. LOL And don’t worry! This isn’t about doing anything you don’t feel completely comfortable doing. Sure, we’ll take the safe shots for Grandma and the newspaper and your shower table. You know, the we stand her together, look at the camera and smile like we are wonderfully happy. That’s a must shot for EVERY e-session. But more than that, this is a time to be together, getting used to me and my camera and basically just enjoying each other. I want you relaxed and just thinking about the person you love. Once you get there in that mood, the rest just happens. As soon as one car goes by and honks their horn because they love what they see, you’ll totally be into it!
If you know he’s nervous about photos, or you are? Maybe drinks are in order? Let’s go have a cup of coffee first, or cocktails if you perfer. I’ll drink diet coke so your pictures stay focused. LOL
So, we take these photos, then what?
If you need one for an announcement for the paper, just email me the file number of your favorite. I’ll email it back. But think beyond the announcement. Think about fun ways to incorporate your images into your wedding. Maybe the program? Thank you cards? I love to see my images used in creative ways!
Let’s do this! I want you to photograph me and my lover! What next?
