You said yes! Now what?


Engagement photos are more than just pretty pictures-they're about capturing this incredible, fleeting moment before you say the big "I Do's." But when should you actually book your engagement session? Let's break it down so you can get the session of your dreams at the perfect time!

Consider Your Wedding Timeline


If you're using your engagement photos for save-the-dates, we recommend you book at least 6-8 months before your wedding to allow time for the session, editing images, designing your save the dates, send to print, and mailing them out.


If you just want photos to celebrate, you have more flexibility, but earlier is always better before all the chaos of wedding planning!

Think About the Season & Your Vision


Your engagement session should feel like you, so choose a season that matches your energy and dream aesthetic! There's nothing wrong with waiting until the ideal season for your dream session to come to life!


Here's a cheat sheet for nailing the perfect season:

  • Spring: think blossoms, lush greenery, soft pastels, and fresh romantic energy
  • Summer: golden light, wildflowers, beauty and adventurous , and vibrant greens
  • Fall: Crisp air, golden tones, vibrant foliage, cozy and romantic
  • Winter: snowy wonderland, misty romance, cozy and intimate

When to Book a Popular Location
