Frequently asked questions
- When should engagement pictures be taken?
- Most couples in the US schedule engagement photos 6β12 months before their wedding. This leaves enough time to use the images for save-the-dates, your wedding website, and invitations. Spring and fall are the most popular seasons for beautiful light and comfortable outdoor weather.
- How much do engagement photos cost?
- Engagement photo sessions in the US typically cost $300β$800. In major cities like New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, expect $600β$1,500+. Most packages include 1β2 hours of shooting and 50β100 edited digital images.
- What should you wear for engagement photos?
- Choose outfits that coordinate in color palette β soft neutrals, earth tones, and dusty blues photograph beautifully. Avoid busy logos or patterns. Bringing two outfits (one casual, one dressed-up) adds variety. Let your location guide the style: flowy dresses for beaches, polished looks for city shoots.
- How do you make engagement photos special?
- Pick a location meaningful to your relationship β where you first met, got engaged, or love to spend time. Stay relaxed and let your photographer capture candid in-between moments. A meaningful prop (your dog, a picnic setup, a favorite book) adds personality and makes the session uniquely yours.
