The Ultimate Lancaster Area Engagement Session Guide

The Ultimate Lancaster Area Engagement Session Guide

Your engagement session should be about celebrating this chapter of your story and carving out time to just be together. I like to think of it as a little date night with a bonus: you walk away with images that actually feel like you and we get to take time to connect in person before the wedding.

An engagement session is the perfect time to lean into your history and things that feel special to you. We could take a walk down memory lane and visit some first-date spots, spend an evening wandering through a garden together, grab drinks at your favorite bar, or enjoy soaking in a sunset and some gorgeous golden-hour views. Whatever feels most natural for you two is exactly what we’ll lean into and the options are limitless!

What to Do After Getting Engaged: A Guide for Newly Engaged Couples

Congratulations on your engagement! As you embark on this exciting journey, it's important to savor every moment. Here are essential steps to take after getting engaged:

Celebrate Your Engagement: Take the time to cherish this special period with loved ones. Consider hosting a celebration to share your joy.
Set a Wedding Timeline: Discuss your vision for the wedding and create a planning timeline. This will help you prioritize key elements and stay organized.
Establish Your Budget: Determine your budget early on. Allocate funds to the aspects that matter most to you as a couple, such as venue, catering, and photography.
Book Your Vendors: Secure your venue and wedding planner first, as they help solidify your date. After that, choose a caterer and, of course, your wedding photographer. A skilled photographer will capture the magic of your day.
Plan an Engagement Session: Consider scheduling an engagement photo session in a different season than your wedding. This way, you can capture the beauty of both times of year.

Remember, the key to a joyful planning process is staying true to yourselves and finding vendors who align with your vision. If you’re looking for a photographer to document your love story, my books are open for 2025 and 2026. Let’s create beautiful memories together!
