Engagement Photos

Engagement photos can be a terrific gift for your parents and relatives. And, the photo session is a great way for us to get acquainted before your wedding day arrives. $250 for a 60-minute session, editing included.


A second wedding photographer provides more images, different angles, and better coverage by allowing photographers to be in two places at once, such as capturing both getting-ready locations or covering the ceremony and guest reactions simultaneously. $100/hr to add a second photographer to your photo package.
