Why have an engagement session?

It is a chance to celebrate your love, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create beautiful images you will treasure long before the big day arrives. Many couples use their engagement photos for save the date cards, wedding invitations and signing frames, but the most important thing is simply having fun and capturing this exciting chapter of your life together.

Your edited gallery is usually ready within 3 to 4 weeks of your session. Everything is delivered through a private, password protected online gallery, where you can view and download your full high resolution images.

What happens if it rains?

This is Northern Ireland, so we always keep an eye on the forecast. If the weather turns, the choice is yours. Rain can make for really atmospheric photos, so some couples grab an umbrella and go for it. If you would rather wait for a drier day, just let us know at least 24 hours before your session and we will move it to another date.

When is the best time of day and year?

We love the hour or two before sunset, when the light is soft and warm. Every season has something to offer in Northern Ireland, so there is no wrong time of year for an engagement session. We will help you pick a time that suits the light and the location.

What should we wear?

Wear something you feel comfortable and confident in, something that feels like you. Colours that complement each other tend to work better than matching outfits, big logos are best avoided, and sensible shoes are a good idea if we are walking between a few spots.

Can we bring our dog?

Absolutely, dogs and other pets are very welcome. If you can, bring someone along to look after them for part of the session, so we get photos of the two of you together as well.

How long does an engagement session last?

A full engagement session is 2 hours with both of us. A mini session is 1 hour with one photographer. You can see everything that is included in our engagement prices.

Can we still get 50% off if we book our wedding after the session?

The 50% discount is for couples who have already booked their wedding with us before their engagement session. If you haven't booked your wedding yet, you are very welcome to book your session at our standard rates.
