Planning Your Couples Session

A guide about what to wear and how to prepare for your engagement session in Vancouver, Langley and the Fraser Valley.

 
 

couples & engagement sessions
 

Let me start by telling you what I’m not.

I’m not formal or serious and I’m not much for glam. Don’t show up in a ballgown.
I’m not here to replicate something you saw on Pinterest. We might miss your own raw moment if we got caught up with that.

If you can laugh at yourself, I’m for you. If you can find beauty in the messy candid ‘off’ moments too, then we’re getting somewhere.
The best shoots happen for those that come with a ‘go with the flow’ mentality.


All Sessions take place in the Langley/Surrey area

White Rock, Abbotsford, Chilliwack & Maple Ridge + $100

Existing Clients $700
New Clients $800

What to expect?

No session takes exactly the same amount of time, because no couple is the same! I shoot until I know I have what I need.

I’ll find us an amazing location and let you know when the magic ‘golden hour’ is on your chosen date. 
Sessions come with a minimum of 50 digital images in an online gallery, delivered in an average of 2-3 weeks.
You can also expect to see some previews within a day or two of your session!

YES!

go barefoot!

NO
dominating solid primary colours( red, royal blue, sunshine yellow, grass green)

Nervous? Have a drink! 
My personal favourite…. order a Venti Passion Tea Lemonade from Starbucks.
Dump out half or split it up. Top with champagne. You’re welcome.
