Portraits Before the Big Day


An engagement or pre-wedding session is the easiest way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding. There are no timelines or guests to manage, only the two of you and an hour or two of good light.


We'll help you choose a location that fits you, whether that's the beach at golden hour, downtown Los Angeles architecture, a garden, or somewhere that's part of your story. We can also talk through outfits, from a casual look to full traditional dress. Many couples do both.


During the session we give light direction rather than stiff posing. The aim is for you to forget the camera after the first few minutes.


The photos work well for save-the-dates, invitations and a welcome display at the wedding, or simply for your walls. We also photograph bridal portraits, anniversaries and family sessions.


Portrait sessions can be booked on their own or alongside your wedding coverage. Send us a date and a rough idea and we'll reply with availability and a custom quote.
