Lauren was showered by beloved family and best friends in celebration of her sophisticated bridal shower in Mendham New Jersey a few months prior to her epic wedding in the nation’s capital.

We were blessed with beautiful day for her bridal shower for a stunning celebration. The bridal shower fête included Moroccan-inspired cuisine, vibrant color-palette of bright oranges, popping peacock blues, and deep fuchsia pinks with decor accenting Lauren’s worldliness. Centerpieces adorned the tables of bright florals by A Touch of Elegance Events and rental decor by Something Different Events, illustrations by John James Audobon, and the beautiful invitation suite by Honour of Your Presence.

Guests of family and best friends accompanied the bride-to-be on her bridal shower. Entertainment included signature cocktails, conversation, and games of ‘name that cake’ to ‘guess the dress’ and more.

Lauren’s and guests were treated with a four-course meal catered by Mendham Kitchen To Table accompanied with a palette of Moroccan-infused dishes and signature cocktails ‘the lovebird’ of cardamom and pomegranate. View the signature cocktail and her beautiful bridal shower gown. This signature cocktail accented the vibrant palettes of the dishes infused with bright, summer flavors of watermelon watercress salad, and buffet from chicken tangine to spicy eggplant. Delicious!

Congratulations, Lauren and Ben!

Why the engagement session is so special

The engagement session is a celebration of this moment in time. This moment your proposal is so special. As you grow in life, it is so special to document and capture the essence of the moment. It is so important for us to document stunning photos of you today so years from now you can look back from our photos and be so proud, so humble. Capturing the essence of this moment, your lives and this chapter in life together. Below are just a few tips to kickstart your engagement session planning!

With that being said, your engagement session planning process deserves so much attention to detail and

So much love

We’ll want to bring so much attention to detail to ensure that your engagement photography session is planned beautifully and goes off with a hitch. Below I have just a few details and helpful hints on how to plan that dream engagement photography session that you have been dreaming of.

When to photograph the engagement session

You’ll want to plan and execute your engagement session surrounding when you send your save the dates out. The basic rule of thumb is to send save the dates out approximately six months prior to the wedding. If you are planning for a destination wedding, it is customary to ship save the dates 8-12 months in advance. For a local affair, 4-6 months will suffice.

With that being said, it takes a little while to review your images and choose your selects so from your engagement session. Plan on two months to finalize your images. Once your images are finalized, you’ll then want to narrow down your selects. Selects are your top choices from your session that you could use for your save the date and your wedding website.

bride-to-be it is

Your time to shine

I highly recommend to choose your save the date in advance and communicate/share this link to your save the date. As I process your images, you can work out the kinks of the save the date such as narrowing down your typography on your save the date. You’ll also want to iron out details like guest addresses uploaded into the Minted spreadsheet. Once I have the engagement session complete, you can simply place photos in there and purchase your save the dates. My favorite part of all, they are shipped direct to your guests with Minted.

Planning your session

So if your day is scheduled for September of 2024 and you are hosting a destination wedding, you may want to think about hosting your engagement session during the summer, fall or earlier winter 2023 pending the session aesthetic you desire.

The season chosen and venue(s) will further influence the mood and aesthetic of your images.

Engagement Session Venue

While dreaming and choosing of your engagement session venue(s) envision you both. You may want to sit with a few questions:

What inspires you together?

Where do you find yourselves?

What kind of story do you want to tell with your images?

The engagement session is a nod to your relationship and your love story. How do you want to share the very beginning of your love story?

Engagement Session Vendors

Once you have your engagement session venue chosen, you’ll then want to plan and prepare the details of your session. From styling outfits and accessories to hair and makeup. All details are crucial. Let’s not forget about his details and grooming, too! Executing your vision is key.

More things to think about

It’s always great to have more than not enough when it comes images. Go the extra mile. It’ll be worth it, I promise.
