FIRST IMPRESSIONS
This is the first chance that you will have to get to know me behind the camera and also my first opportunity to observe and capture you through the lens.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Brainstorm and be creative about the places that reflect who you are as a couple; places you love to go, what you like to do together, your hobbies, special points of interests, or even the theme of your wedding.
Consider looking for locations that are full of color or texture. Look for walls in unusual colors or patterns. Check out old brick or rock buildings that might make a great textural backdrop for your pictures. These two elements will make for magical backgrounds and unique images!HAIR AND MAKEUP
Consider having your hair and make-up professionally done.
**Don't fret over any blemishes or scars. They can be airbrushed out of the photos. (no charge)
Remember, this kind of portrait session only happens once in a lifetime, so it’s worth spending a little extra time and money to make sure that these portraits will make you proud.
Make sure you both have the nails on your hands neat and filed. They might be in the photos too.
Ladies, it's a good idea to bring your makeup and any hair supplies you might need to do "touch-ups".
As always, try to avoid cutting your hair, waxing your brows/lip or tanning immediately before your session, as these 3 situations can spell disaster!CLOTHING TO BRING
I encourage you to bring clothing that is color coordinated, but not too “matchy-matchy. You don't want to look like twins.
Think about what you are both wearing and how it will look together in your pictures.
Be sure to choose colors that are complimentary to both of your complexions and hair/eye color.
Try to wear clothing that is flattering to your body type and fits you properly. Clothing that fits well translates into more flattering images, which is the ultimate goal.
First, a more casual set of clothing such as jeans and coordinating shirts.
Secondly, a more formal set of clothing. This could be something that you might wear on a nice evening out, maybe a flirty dress for her and nice pants and a button up shirt for him. If you’re not sure what to wear and you can do it, bring along as many options as you can!
It’s always a good idea to have your clothes prepared (cleaned, pressed, hung up, etc) ahead of time, but if you can’t, bringing along a spray bottle of Wrinkle Releaser or another smoothing agent is a great idea.BE YOURSELF!
A successful E-Session is one where you are being yourself.
It can be a little tough to relax in front of the camera, but remember you are there getting to spend time with the one you love, so have fun!
Do things that you normally do with them. If you usually hold hands, go ahead and do it! If you always sit in his lap, what a cute image! If you normally kiss her on the cheek, it will be a great memory captured forever. If you love to dance, go for it!
Being yourselves together will help you be more comfortable and you will have images that help you re-live those small sweet moments of your love.SIGNATURE PHOTO AND MAT

-One E-Session photograph with a large mat for guests to sign (and for you to frame & hang later). Often it is most 'user friendly' to have it on a table with a Sharpee marker. It's easier to write on. **Tip: Place the frame without the glass on the mat so that when folks sign it, they won't have any parts missing once the frame is added back on. (Frame NOT included, you must bring that...I don't know your decor). Some folks prefer to have it standing on an easel. Even though it looks better, it makes it more difficult to sign. Often couples will have the photo/mat at both the Ceremony and Reception to make sure they get the most signatures. **The smart ones have it ready for signing at the ceremony, then put it in the frame & place it on the easel at the reception.
