    Couples session FAQ

    We're not used to being photographed — will it feel awkward?

    Most couples say the first ten minutes feel a little unfamiliar, then it settles. I keep things light and give simple prompts, not stiff poses.

    Is this good for engagement photos?

    Yes — many couples book this session specifically to celebrate an engagement.

    What should we wear?

    Coordinated, not matching. I'm happy to share guidance once you book.

    How soon will we get our photos?

    Your private gallery is ready within 48 hours.
