Orange County Engagement Photographer
Candid, movement-filled engagement sessions that feel like the two of you.
Sessions starting at $400 · About 60 to 90 minutes
An engagement session is a chance to celebrate your story before the wedding day, and to get comfortable in front of the camera. I keep things playful and unposed, with prompts that help you laugh, move and be close.
We will plan around sunset at a location that fits you, whether that is a quiet cove, a bluff-top overlook or a string-lit downtown.
Ideal for: Save-the-dates, wedding websites, proposal follow-ups and getting comfortable before the wedding.
What's included
- A planning chat to choose the location and outfits
- Guided, candid photography in golden-hour light
- A fully edited, print-ready online gallery in about two weeks
- Images suitable for save-the-dates and wedding websites
Starting at $400. Final pricing depends on location, length and any extras, and I will send an estimate when you inquire.

Questions
Engagement Sessions FAQ
Do we need to be comfortable in front of the camera?
Not at all. Most couples are nervous at first. I give simple prompts so you can focus on each other, and the photos end up feeling natural.
How far ahead should we book?
Many couples book 2 to 4 months before the wedding so the save-the-dates are ready in time.
Can we bring our dog?
Yes. Dogs are welcome at many locations, and I can plan around pet-friendly spots.
