Welcome back to our channel for another exciting peek behind the scenes. If you missed part one of Sarah and Logan’s engagement session, no worries – we’ve got you covered. Just click HERE to catch up on all the Midwest summer vibes! Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of how we captured the magic. Here’s part two, how to photograph an engagement session!

Building Personal Connections:

At the heart of what we do is a genuine connection with our couples. From our initial consultation at home to the engagement session itself, we strive to know our clients on a personal level. Sarah and Logan weren’t strangers to us; they had been part of various weddings we photographed. However, our goal is to delve deeper into their lives, learning what makes them tick, their shared passions, and their connections with family and friends.

We believe this personal touch not only makes for more authentic interactions during the engagement session but also lays the foundation for unparalleled support on their wedding day. Our couples aren’t just clients – they’re friends, and that bond shines through in our work.

Posing for Purpose:

Watch closely as we guide Sarah and Logan through different poses and scenarios. Our Posing for Purpose method is all about capturing a wide range of expressions, focusing on varied perspectives and quick transitions. The goal is to turn their engagement session into a fluid experience, more than just a photo shoot. It’s about creating memories and genuine moments that reflect their unique connection.

The Closer Technique:

One thing we’ve mastered over time is the art of the closer. As the session winds down, we introduce an activity that signifies its conclusion. In Sarah and Logan’s case, we had them create a personalized handshake – a symbol of their connection that extends beyond the session. This not only makes the ending less transactional but also serves as a lasting memory for the couple.

Additionally, we had them choose their final shot. This empowers them to select an image that encapsulates their vision, ensuring they don’t miss out on anything they had in mind. Whether it’s a simple smile or a playful pose, the final shot is a beautiful way to wrap up the session.

What’s Coming Next:
