01 · The Experience

The beginning of forever, photographed beautifully.

An engagement session is where we learn how the two of you laugh together. Every session is designed around your story — meaningful locations, unhurried time, gentle direction that never feels posed.

The result is honest, cinematic imagery for announcements, invitations and the walls of your first home. Engagement sessions are complimentary with our 8-hour and 10-hour wedding collections.

02 · What’s Included

Everything your day deserves.

  • A thoughtfully planned session at locations that mean something to you
  • Guidance on natural movement and effortless, un-posed moments
  • Professional photography with cinematic videography options
  • A hand-edited gallery perfect for save-the-dates and announcements
  • Outfit and styling guidance ahead of the session
  • Golden-hour scheduling for the softest DC light
