Engagement Sessions

Amid the whirlwind of wedding planning, venues, vendors, and vows, your engagement session is an exhale. It’s a dedicated moment to step away from checklists and into each other’s arms, celebrating the beautiful chapter you’re writing together.

For many of our couples, this is their first time in front of a professional lens as an engaged duo. You can slip these photos into elegant save-the-dates (typically mailed 6–8 months before your wedding), weave them into your wedding website, or transform them into a custom guest book that greets loved ones on your big day. Share the joy on social media, and print your favorites for your home.

Beyond the photos, this session is where we connect. You’ll get to know my style, my prompts, and the rhythm of being photographed. By the time your wedding day arrives, my camera and I will feel like old friends, not strangers. You’ll move with ease, laugh without hesitation, and trust that every glance is being preserved with care.

This is your love, documented. Your story, beginning. Let’s make it unforgettable.

Everything you need to know about Engagement Sessions

Your engagement session is more than a photoshoot, it's a romantic stroll through the final whispers of daylight, captured in the dreamy 90 minutes before sunset.

Weekends are reserved for celebrating love at weddings, so I dedicate weekdays to crafting your engagement story with undivided attention. Scheduled exclusively Monday through Friday, these sessions unfold over 60–90 minutes of pure connection, timed to bathe you in that soft, golden light that makes every glance and giggle glow. This thoughtful rhythm ensures every couple receives the focus, creativity, and care they deserve.

Within 14 days of your session, you'll receive a private online gallery brimming with high-resolution images, beautifully edited to reflect the warmth and wonder of your evening. Download, share, and relive every frame as you plan the next chapter of your forever.

Investment: $390


Pro-Tips:

1. Make a date night of your engagement session, you're already dressed up take advantage of it!

2. Get your ring cleaned before your session, it is getting photographed too.

3. Don't let yourself be hangry, make sure you eat something before your engagement session.

4. Have fun! This isn't something to check off your list, be present and enjoy each other. Your engagement pictures are just a bonus.

Frequently Asked Questions

We think it's awesome to have the chance to work together before your wedding day and to document this really special time in your love story. We have included an engagement session in our most popular collections for our couples who want engagement pictures.
Indianapolis is full of amazing locations. We can choose a location because you have a particular background in mind or we can choose a place that has special meaning to the two of you as a couple. We're going for a walk so where we start isn't necessarily where we end up. I have a list of favorites I am happy to share with you!
Show off your style and wear whatever you want! Start with something you would wear on a date night. There is enough time durning my engagement sessions that if you would like you can bring a change of clothes. Many couples choose to a casual option and a dressier option. Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful and comfortable! Speaking of comfort, if your shoes aren't comfortable for taking a walk bring a pair to change into between stops.

Pro Tip: Coordinate but don't match, if one of you wears a print have the other wear a complimenting solid.
It is not safe for my camera equipment to be exposed to water, we will have to reschedule unless you have chosen an indoor location.
Yes! Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, all are fairly easy to incorporate into your images although you may want to bring someone to manage them throughout the session. If you want to bring lions, tigers, or bears... maybe we should go to the Zoo.
No, very few places in Indianapolis require a permit therefore I do not include the fee in my pricing. Should you choose a location that requires a permit you will be responsible for the permit fee.

NewFields is one of the few engagement venues that does require a $50 permit fee.
Your engagement session is a great time to do a trial with your hair and make-up artist to see how it photographs. If you feel beautiful and confident that shows through in your engagement photos.

If hair and make-up isn't your thing do whatever makes you feel comfortable and beautiful.

If you need any recommendations let me know! I'm happy to help!
I will keep your engagement photos on my server for six months following your engagement session. In that time you can print them or back them up in any way you would like.

If your wedding collection also includes a crystal USB your engagement photos will be included.
