This is the perfect middle package if you’re looking for just the right amount of coverage. With two photographers, you’ll get a well-rounded story of your day—from the big moments to the little candid ones—without feeling like we’re there from sunrise to last call. It’s the sweet spot for couples who want more than the essentials but don’t need every single moment captured.

Embarking on the journey of marriage is an exciting time, filled with anticipation and joy. One of the initial steps in this journey is the engagement session - a pre-wedding photoshoot designed to allow couples and their photographers to establish rapport and create some memorable images together. This session is not just about the photographs; it's about getting to know each other, understanding your vision, and making sure I can translate your emotions into art.
&nbsp;
Selecting the perfect outfit for your engagement session can be a challenge. The key is to select clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident. Think about your personal style and the image you want to project. It's best to avoid overly trendy or busy patterns that may distract from your connection. Instead, opt for clothing that complements your partner's outfit and the environment of the shoot.
&nbsp;
Choosing the location for your session is equally important. Consider places that have a special meaning for you as a couple. Perhaps it's where you first met, had your first date, or simply a place you both love to visit. Outdoor locations often provide beautiful backdrops and natural lighting, but don't overlook the charm of indoor settings such as a cozy cafe or your own home.
&nbsp;
Posing for photos can feel a bit awkward, especially if you're not used to being in front of a camera. But don't worry, I'm here to guide you. The best photos often come from natural, unposed moments. Try to relax and enjoy the experience. Think about why you fell in love, share a laugh, or simply take a moment to look into each other's eyes.
&nbsp;
Remember, the engagement session is a time to celebrate your love and commitment. It's not about perfection, but authenticity. It's about capturing your unique love story. With my years of experience serving clients across Long Island, the five boroughs, Connecticut and New Jersey, I am dedicated to ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience that results in genuine, heartfelt images.
&nbsp;
So, let's embark on this journey together. Let's create some beautiful memories and some stunning photos that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Chris did such an outstanding job capturing the wedding of my husband and I. From the moment we spoke with him to enquire about his photography service to when we received our photos, the service and dedication to detail was amazing.
Chris and his team made taking photos easy and such a relaxed approach, which we very much appreciated. We constantly highlight our great experience to others and how our wedding day was carefree because of such a great team.
Thank you again, and Eddy and I are grateful to have pictures that we can proudly show and look at.

Chris ensured he captured everything we requested and more! Chris was so personable on the day and made us both and our wedding party feel so at ease and relaxed which I believe helped our photos look so natural and relaxed. We are both so happy we trusted Chris with our day, and we now have the best memories captured so perfectly.
