Engagement & Couples Sessions

Couples/Engagement sessions are one of my favourite things to shoot! We get to show off your unique connection without the limitations or timeline of a wedding day (helloooo golden hour!). We can even go somewhere extra epic or super personal to you as a couple! Whether you’re engaged, dating, or married, it’s always so heartwarming to be able to document the current chapter of your relationship story through beautiful images ❤️

Think of it like documenting an extra special date! You get dressed up a bit, hold hands (a lot), cuddle (a lot) and get some smooches in too, all against a pretty backdrop of your choosing! Lots of my couples even plan to go for a nice dinner after their session. Might as well take advantage of looking so nice and feeling all the love after snuggling for photos, right?

If you need any other reasons to make some photo magic with me, here are a few I can think of:

For engagement photos, use your images to:

 → Make save the dates and invitations

 → Make a wedding website

 → Make a guestbook

 → Decorate your venue

 

If you’re not in the wedding planning zone, you can also use them to:

 → Bring some personal touches to your home

 → Gift to parents or grandparents

 → Post to social media

And just having a reason to spend some quality time together and be able to look back at the memories is pretty cool too! 😍

  • But Samantha, what if we’re not photogenic?
    Hmm, where have I heard that before? Oh right, pretty much every single couple shows up to their session saying something similar to this! (Spoiler alert, it’s never true!) Don’t worry, I have your back! Before the session even starts, I’ll send out a Style Guide to give you some tips on what to wear. I also have a client closet available for the ladies, with options from XS to XXXL! You’re welcome to come browse and try on options! As for what to do with your hands and all that, I’ll always guide you through any posing and movements we do during a session! It’s my job to make sure you’re looking as good as you can in your images, so I like to use a combination of setting you up for a pose, and then bringing small movements or actions that bring those poses to life and help showcase you as a couple! I love to do a mix of classic, fun, and intimate shots at each session.
  • What should we wear?
    Great question! I always send out a Style Guide to my clients before the session. I also offer a client closet for the ladies with options from size XS to XXXL. Plus you’re always welcome to reach out if you need help or an opinion on which outfits look best together!
  • What time of day should we book our session for?
    On a clear day, the best light is right around sunrise and sunset! Depending on your chosen location, this can change with the time of year, as well as with the mountains if you’re close to some! Once we schedule a date and choose a location I can nail down exact timing for the dreamiest light! ☀️
  • What if I don’t know any good locations?
    I’ve got you covered! Let me know what you’re looking for in a location and I’ll make some suggestions! If you have no idea what you want, I also have a visual location guide that I can send out divided into 3 categories of locations: Chilliwack, Surrounding Chilliwack, and Adventure Locations!
  • What if we don’t know how to pose?
    No worries here! I’ll always guide you through any posing and movements we do during a session! I like to call my style ‘directed candid’. It’s my job to make sure you’re looking as good as you can in your images, so I like to use a combination of setting you up for a pose, and then bringing in small movements or actions or prompts that bring those poses to life and help showcase you as a couple! I love to do a mix of classic, fun, and intimate shots at each session.
  • What if it rains?
    If we’re getting closer to your session date and the weather is not going in our favour, we have 2 options! 1 - Find somewhere under cover to shoot or 2 - Reschedule the session for better weather If the weather is flip flopping back and forth, we usually wait for the hourly forecast before making a decision, and usually go forward with the shoot if there’s less than a 50% chance of rain, to give a general guideline!
  • Do you shoot on mountaintops/do heli shoots?
    Absolutely! If you’d like to take photos on a gorgeous mountaintop only accessible by helicopter, let me know and I’ll get a current quote for you! (My session rate for these sessions is currently discounted as well!)
  • How long does it take to get our photos back?
    I usually send over a sneak peek within a couple days, and deliver the full gallery in 2 weeks or less. If it’s ever going to be longer (i.e. in the middle of wedding season), I will specifically let you know how long to expect!
