Why Engagement Sessions Matter: Capturing Love Before the Big Day

Engagement sessions are more than just a beautiful collection of photos—they’re an essential part of your wedding journey. As a photographer, I believe these sessions play a vital role in creating authentic, meaningful memories, while also helping me connect with my couples before their wedding day.

Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing this beautiful couple at Kraft Azalea Park in Winter Park, FL. The serene setting, draped in moss-covered trees and golden light, provided the perfect backdrop for their love story.

The Importance of Engagement Sessions


1. Building Comfort and Trust
An engagement session is the perfect opportunity for couples to feel comfortable in front of the camera. It’s natural to feel a little nervous or unsure at first, but these sessions allow me to guide you, pose you naturally, and bring out genuine emotions. By the time your wedding day arrives, you’ll feel like a pro in front of the camera, making the experience much smoother and more relaxed.
2. Getting to Know Each Other
Every couple has a unique dynamic, and engagement sessions give me a chance to understand yours. Whether you’re playful, romantic, or love a mix of both, this time together helps me learn what makes you feel your best. This insight is invaluable when photographing your wedding day, ensuring I capture those moments that truly reflect your relationship.
3. Creating Meaningful Memories
Engagement sessions are also a wonderful way to document this special season in your life. Whether you choose a meaningful location, like where you had your first date or a beautiful park like Kraft Azalea, these photos become keepsakes you’ll cherish for years to come.

Included in Your Wedding Package

To ensure every couple gets the most out of their photography experience, I include engagement sessions in all my wedding packages of six hours or more. This allows us to connect beforehand, making your wedding day feel like a celebration with a familiar face rather than a camera following you around.

If you’re recently engaged or planning your wedding, I’d love to chat about how we can create memories that will last a lifetime. Let’s tell your love story in a way that feels authentic, natural, and meaningful.

Hi There, I’m Aleah

Hi There, I’m Aleah

Aleah

I'm a small-town girl with a big love for adventure. Whether I'm exploring new places or chasing golden light in a local nature spot, I'm always on the lookout for moments worth capturing. With a heart full of humor (and yes, plenty of dad jokes), I bring a warm and easygoing energy to every session — helping you feel relaxed so your true personality can shine. I’ve been married for five years and am a proud mom to three beautiful daughters who constantly inspire the way I see the world. I’m happiest outdoors, surrounded by sunshine, wildflowers, and the occasional curious critter. Most of my sessions take place in nature, where kids can run free and real smiles happen effortlessly. Wherever I go, I’m always finding hidden gem locations and scenic backdrops. So if you're up for a laid-back adventure with a side of laughter, I’d be honored to tell your story.
