I'm Jennifer, Bay Area Engagement Photographer
Engagement photos are EVERYTHING to me
You're here because you just got engaged, or you're planning on getting engaged real soon! Either way, I'm so happy for you!!! Your engagement photos are often used to send out Save the Dates and other announcements for your wedding, so you'll want to make sure it's the perfect vibe for you. The possibilities are endless! Do you want to rent a classic car for all the vintage vibes, or horseback ride on the beach? Let's do it!

What's included in every Engagement Photography Package:
______________________________________________
Sneak Peek Gallery
This online gallery of 5+ edited photos is delivered 24-72 hours past your session date, because I know you'll be dying to see the photos and share them with your friends & fam ASAP!
Online Gallery
Your final, password protected gallery will be delivered 2-4 weeks past your session date. It will include all of your high-resolution, edited images, ready to be easily downloaded and shared with friends.
Location Guide
As an experienced photographer and Bay Area native, I know all the popular and secret spots for photoshoots. Booking with me gives you exclusive access to my full Bay Area Location Guide, which features 20+ of my favorite places to go all around NorCal.
Polaroids
Physical photos are so rare nowadays! That's why I love to snap a polaroid & gift you with it to always remember your engagement bliss. I provide 1 for the Silver Package, 2 for the Gold, and 4 (plus a frame that fits your two favorites) for the Diamond Package.
Questionnaire
For engagement sessions, I love to send a questionnaire to get to know you & your partner a little more. This helps me better understand your personalities & vision for the session.
Styling Guide
Choosing your outfit for a photoshoot can be harder than it seems. To ease that headache, I've compiled a list of some of my best tips for choosing what to wear. Receive my Styling Guide upon booking!
Unlimited Communication
I'm here to answer any questions you may have over text, email, DM, or phone call! Heck, even fax me. Want my professional opinion on your outfit, or to send over some screenshots of inspo you found on Pinterest? Go for it!
Planning Assistance
I'll help you plan your dream engagement session, from nailing down what you want to do, to guiding you on when and where we can best make it happen.
Posing Guidance
So you never have to worry about what to do with your hands, or if you look "awkward". Posing is my job, not yours! I have lots of ideas in my head and references to poses on my phone, so there will never be an "Um, what should we do now?" moment.

Step 1
Fill out my contact form to get this process started! Feel free to include all the deets of your relationship, such as how you met, what you love about each other, & your favorite things to do together. I'll respond within 24 hours and we'll get to talking more about your vision.
Step 2
Once you decide you officially want to book with me (yay, I can't wait!), I simply require a signed contract and 20% retainer. This locks in my commitment to photographing your engagement session.
I'll send over a questionnaire which is a fun way to think over what you want from the session and allow me to get to know you both better. From there, we'll finalize details such as the location, date, & timing of the session.
Step 3
Now that's we're official, it's time for the fun part - the photoshoot! The lead up to the shoot can be nerve-wracking, but once we get going I promise you'll have even more fun than you could've anticipated. It's going to feel like just playing around and lovin' up on your special someone with all the fun prompts I give. I even show you the back of my camera occasionally to show you how great you're looking!
Step 4
After the session, I get straight to work on editing those beautiful photos. I send a Sneak Peek gallery 24-72 hours after the session to ensure you can admire & share some images as soon as possible. Your final gallery takes 2-4 weeks to be delivered, but it will be well worth the wait. Our journey together has officially come to a close, for now. Don't worry - it's not goodbye, it's see you later!
FAQ
How do I know which engagement package is right for me?
My 1 hour "Gold" package is the standard amount of time for a session. It gives us plenty of time to get a variety of poses and backdrops. More than that, it's also enough time for you to get comfortable in front of the camera, but not too much time that you lose energy and your smile becomes strained.
My 2 hour "Diamond" package is perfect if you're looking for a little extra. If you want to take pictures at multiple locations and have a few outfit changes, this is the package for you! It's a fun, luxurious experience that allows us more time to get creative with the photos in a stress-free way.
My 30 minute "Silver" package is good if you're on a bit of a tighter budget, or only want a few amazing photos. Since we have a much more limited time, I like to work quickly and efficiently to still get you the most variety as possible. There is also not enough time for outfit or location changes unfortunately. It's a more rushed experience, but still a great one!
How long does it take to get our photos delivered?
I send a Sneak Peek Gallery 24-72 hours after the session, and your Final Gallery takes 2-3 weeks to be delivered.
How many photos can we expect to receive?
It varies for each package, please refer to the package options above for the details.
Do you recommend any locations?
Yes, I know all the best spots around the Bay Area! Ask me for my Location Guide.
Are travel fees included in the price?
Travel fees are not included in the price. Please let me know where you're planning on doing the session so I can give you an accurate quote for travel!
