ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS

Engagement sessions can be included with our wedding collections.
These sessions have a more relaxed, informal feel. Engagement
sessions are a great opportunity to work together before the wedding; we can take our time creating the photographs. Usually the sessions are from 1 to 3 hours long.

I understand that most people don't feel comfortable in front of the camera and promise to make it a fun experience! I'm good at helping people relax and really enjoy the experience. We often visit different locations, and I encourage you to bring a couple different changes of clothing. The Engagement session can be created at locations meaningful to you, or I have a handful of great San Diego engagement locations to recommend. These photos are often used for save-the-date cards, display at the reception, guest signature albums or artwork for your home.

We also offer Engagement sessions separate from our wedding collections. Call or email for info and pricing. Most sessions includes the high-resolution flash drive or a custom web gallery for downloading the digital files. All photos are enhanced, edited and lightly retouched.

Tim's Tips For a Successful Engagement Session


Choosing Your Engagement Session Attire 5 helpful tips:

Choosing the right clothing for your engagement session can significantly enhance the overall look and feel of your photos. While what you wear helps in creating a cohesive and visually appealing outcome, it's important to remember that these are guidelines rather than strict rules. Ultimately, your comfort and personal style should dictate your clothing choices. The goal is to capture your authentic selves so feel free to express yourselves through your outfits. Use these tips as inspiration to ensure you feel confident and comfortable, allowing your personalities to shine through.


1 Select Light,Soft, Mid or Neutral Colors to Keep the focus on You.

Neutral outfits offer a timeless appeal and ensure the focus remains on you rather than your clothing. Bright, contrasting colors, heavy patterns, or vivid tones can distract, pulling attention away from your faces. For a clean and cohesive look, avoid shirts with logos or stripes.

2. Complement Each Other with Coordinated Colors, Not Matching Outfits.

Rather than matching outfits that look overly planned, coordinate your colors to complement each other. Choose tones that harmonize for a cohesive look. Solid colors usually work well. Opt for color palettes within the same tone family to create a unified and visually pleasing result.

3. Dress with the Same Degree of Style.

Ensure that both of you are dressed at a similar level of style. For a formal look, Women could wear a dress paired with heels while men could choose dress pants, dress shoes, a button-down shirt and an optional sports jacket. For a casual beach vibe, women might wear a skirt or a long flowy sundress and sandals or maybe just go barefoot while men could go for a short-sleeve button-down shirt with shorts, jeans or casual slacks.

4. Prioritize Comfort and Confidence in Your Outfit Choices.

Select outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Consider your favorite, most flattering clothes. Communicate any concerns to your photographer beforehand so they can be mindful during the shoot. Remember, your comfort translates into confidence in your photos.

5. Choose Weather Appropriate Attire.

Dress for the season and your comfort level during the engagement session. In colder weather, opt for long sleeves and stylish jackets. In warmer months, choose light, breathable fabrics. Consider your hair in different weather conditions—humidity or wind can affect its appearance. Your environment should guide your outfit choices for the session to ensure you remain comfortable and confident.

Props can also be used in your engagement session. I have had couples bring signs, bikes, pets, motorcycles, guitars and books – I can incorporate just about anything that is meaningful to both of you. Sometimes girls will do a practice hair and make up trial for the engagement session to make sure all is good for the wedding. This is just an optional idea but it can help with the confidence in how you feel being photographed. Email us for our complete guide of tips for your session.
