PRE-WEDDING
COUPLE SESSIONS
Let's ditch the traditional stand-and-pose routine and make your couple session truly personal and unique! Think of your couple session as an intimate date night (or day) where I'll be your third wheel, armed with a camera ready to document YOU.
Couples sessions are like a trial run, an opportunity to get all your camera-shy awkwardness out of the way before your wedding day!
Date Night Chronicles
Choose a couple session activity that holds meaning to both of you! This not only makes your photos extra special and intimate but also helps you feel more at ease during the shoot. By engaging in something you both love, your session will exude a distinctive charm, resulting in unforgettable memories.
How it works
Let’s not just stand there and take some photos, let’s do something really personal that will show you off as a couple. Think of it like a date night (or day). I am going to be your third wheel, with a camera.
Many couples choose to have these photos taken at the restaurant where they had their first date, the spot where they got engaged, or just a place you love to frequent as a couple. You, eat, drink, talk, kiss, play and ill snap photos throughout the whole thing. Let's have some fun with it and come up with some really fun ideas for your photos.
Location
Couple’s sessions usually take about 1-2 hours. Lighting wise it’s best to stay away from the middle of the day – early morning or later in the afternoon are best. This is when the light is at its most beautiful (especially during golden hour) and will result in an overall much more beautiful session. You won't be worried about squinty eyes or harsh shadows either!
Timing
From spontaneous adventures to embracing your quirks, I’m here to help bring your wildest ideas to life. As you start planning the look and feel of your photo shoot (Pinterest is your friend), remember that the key is to make it uniquely yours.
Pro-tip to keep in mind as you curate your couple’s shoot outfits: aim for complementary styles rather than perfectly matching ensembles. Coordinating colours, textures, or themes can create a harmonious look without being overly uniform.
