Nicole & Jorge's Engagement
Engagement sessions are all about YOU and who you are as a couple. Every engagement session is different because every couple is different. Your session is tailored for you from the locations, wardrobes, time of day, and activities.
Engagement photos are more than just the pictures you use on Save the Dates or a wedding website. They are a celebration of you as a couple before you say I Do. It's an opportunity to capture your personalities, what makes you great as a couple.
What you do doing your session and where you take your pictures is up to you! Find a place that means something to you. Incorporate something you love doing together. Show off your love and personalities.
Nicole & Jorge are Getting Meowied!
Jorge wanted to include their cats in their engagement photos so they could use the word "Meowied". I love a good play on words so I was all for it. Cats are definitely trickier than dogs, so we went into this with absolutely no expectations. As long as the cats didn't escape, I would be happy.
For those wanting to include their feline friends, here were my suggestions:
Bring an extra pair of hands to help. From getting the cats in and out of carriers, to distracting them to taking them back home, its definitely helpful to have a friend or family member present to watch after the cats.
Either start or end the session with the cats - this is where the helps really comes in handy. You don't want to worry about your kitties in their crates during your 2 hour photo session. Having someone bring them home after or showing up with them at the end will help keep everyone happy.
Have kitty treats. Not all cats like to be held (even the ones who do like to choose when to be held or not) so having some treats in your hand during photos will help keep them happy.
Bring a lint roller. If you're starting the session with cats (or dogs), you'll definitely need to remove some fur from your clothing.
