In the world of photography, engagement sessions hold a special place. They are an opportunity for both the photographer and the client to connect, an opportunity to capture a couple's unique love story before it transitions into a beautiful wedding ceremony. But how do you ensure that your engagement session is a success? Here are some tips to help you prepare and feel confident about your upcoming session.
&nbsp;
One of the first things to consider is your outfit. What you wear can set the tone for the entire photo shoot and should reflect your personal style and the essence of your relationship. However, comfort is key. It's important to feel comfortable and at ease in what you're wearing. Opt for clothes that make you feel good and confident. Also, make sure your outfits complement each other. You don't have to be matchy-matchy, but your outfits should harmonize in terms of color and style.
&nbsp;
Next, let's talk about location. The location for your engagement session should be meaningful to you and your partner. It could be the place where you had your first date, a favorite spot where you spend time together, or even your own home. If you're unsure, your photographer can provide suggestions based on their experience and knowledge of picturesque locations. The goal is to select a location that embodies the essence of your love story, as this will add a personal touch to your photos.
&nbsp;
Now, posing in front of a camera can be daunting for many, but remember, this is a fun and exciting experience. Your photographer will guide you, but it's important to be yourself. Embrace your partner, laugh, share intimate moments, and let your love for each other shine through. One idea is to incorporate activities you both enjoy, making your session more personalized and fun.
&nbsp;
Lastly, trust your photographer. They are there to capture your love story in the most creative and beautiful way. Communicate with them about your ideas, concerns, and expectations. They will provide guidance and reassurance, helping you feel relaxed and confident throughout the session.
&nbsp;
Remember, your engagement session is all about celebrating your unique love story. It's a chance to capture the excitement, the anticipation, and the love that you share before embarking on the beautiful journey of marriage. So, enjoy the experience, have fun, and let your true selves shine through.

Mastering Your Engagement Session: The Ultimate Guide

Our best wedding investment. 

We can’t recommend Will and Alex highly enough! They were extremely professional and super easy to work with (for us and our other vendors). Will has such an eye for creative, incredible shots and was so fun to be around. We love our pictures so much and we received so many compliments about him from our guests. Our wedding day was more enjoyable because of his involvement. We would hire Refract a million times over if we could!

If you are looking for a photographer, look no further, Will is your guy! He has the unprecedented ability to be professional, while making you feel extremely comfortable on one of the most emotional days of your life. His constant encouragement, calm demeanor, communication and attention to detail alongside his talents is what makes Will the best in the business! He has the ability to see beauty where others may miss it, he found hidden gem locations for our first look and golden hour photos that turned out INCREDIBLE! He is a gifted man, not only with his craft as a photographer but who he is as a person and his ability to immediately connect with everyone he meets.

You will find the about page from my existing website between the “” below. You can use this section primarily for tone of voice and style as opposed to content.

"Is something I imagine I would say in my interview voice if I were asked to summarize how I feel about the hobby turned profession. Making memories for people to look back on and cherish is why I’ve tossed my hat in the ring so to speak. There are usually two feelings people have when looking at old photos of themselves: gratefulness or embarrassment (the latter is only temporary and garners a genuine laugh). Each is valuable in sharing in the human experience with others and as we have learned in more recent times, the value of human connection and empathy is something deeply needed for our own well-being and sense of normalcy. 

At Refract Photography, we always strive to get to know our clients at an individual level and have fun while working together to execute the shared vision and capture the moments we can all reminisce about one day. We seek to invoke a feeling all have experienced. The feeling when glancing upon a photo from the past transports the mind back in time to the moment it was captured and all the associated memories leading up to the capture. Photos are the tangible manifestation of our memories and become invaluable as we age. Refract Photography’s aim is to record, preserve, and provide this feeling for others. So let’s get out there, have some fun and capture some memories while we’re at it! I hope we get to work with YOU very soon!"
