-{ frequently asked questions - engagement }-
william_chang_engagement_photos.jpgwe highly recommend an engagement session because we LOVE them!  The engagement session gives us a chance to work with you before you wedding day so we can see how you interact with each other and you can see how we work.  It is also a great way to get you use to a camera following you around for a while! Below are some of our FAQ's for engagement portrait session.

is it necessary to have an engagement photo shoot?
Yes, I can't stress how important the engagement session is. Having an engagement photo shoot not only allows me the chance to get to know the two of you before the wedding, it also allows you to get to know me and my photography style and offers the chance for you to get comfortable in front of the cameras. We also get to have fun, become friends, and you get some great pictures in the process

how much is an engagement session?
the cost of an engagement session will be $500. if booked with a wedding package you will receive the discounted rate at $300 for a one hour session

where should our engagement shoot take place?
Engagement shoots have endless possibilities.  Most couples prefer to do their engagement shoots at locations that means something special to them as a couple.  Others will simply choose a favorite place, or a romantic setting as their shoot location.  Some suggested locations are the site of your engagement proposal, your first date, where you first met, or even simply a frequent place you two go on dates.

what kind of clothing should we wear?

Both of you should wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in.  Your clothing choices should reflect who you are as a couple, and they should be something you don't mind getting a little messy. We will be having a lot of fun and moving around quite a bit, so I can't stress enough the importance of being comfortable.  Ladies, if you are dying to wear those beautiful new heels then please bring them with you.  You can always bring a pair of flats for comfy walking

are pets allow?
If you want to bring your pets, please feel free  I love animals and your pets can add a nice flair and individuality to your pictures

what kind of pictures can we expect from out engagement sessions?
Your engagement pictures will include both candid and posed portraits photos.  You will want some portraits shots for any type of formal announcements or as a gift for your family or friends.  The rest should be candid shots that show you and your partner and your love for each other.  I prefer to give visual directions rather than pose the two of you. This keeps your photos looking natural and spontaneous. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me here directly from the website.  I look forward to helping you capture the happiest moments of your life in a way that reflects you and your partner's style. 

how many pictures will I receive?
I never set a limit on any of my photo sessions, during the full hour of shoot an engagement session most clients will receive about 100-200 beautifully captured images. 

how soon after the photo session will we see the images?
You will be able to view your images through our online gallery by two weeks after the date of your photo session.
