Engagement Session Advice: Making the Most of Your Shoot
The Perfect Start Time!
Engagement sessions are a unique blend of love and personal storytelling, capturing the essence of your relationship in the most beautiful light. Opting for a weekday evening, especially two hours before sunset, can provide that perfect golden hour glow. However, our Morina Photography team is flexible and excited to capture your love story at any time of day or night, offering each couple a distinctive backdrop to their own love story.
Ideal Timing for Your Session
We recommend scheduling your engagement session at least six months before your wedding. This timeline allows you to use your beautiful images for Save-The-Date cards and other pre-wedding materials. Dive deeper into planning your session with our engagement photography tips.
Celebrate Your Love
Engagement sessions are not just photo shoots; they're celebrations of your unique journey together. We focus on capturing your individual personalities and the narrative of your love in a relaxed and natural setting. These images will not only enrich your home with stunning wall art but also help us get to know each other better. This familiarity ensures that your wedding day photography is seamless and truly reflective of your bond.
Feedback Is Golden
Your thoughts post-session are invaluable. They help us tailor your wedding day portraits to perfectly match your preferences, whether it's adjusting the amount of affection displayed or understanding your best angles. It’s all about making you comfortable and capturing you at your best.
Choosing the Right Location
The setting of your engagement photos should resonate with your story and personalities. Whether it’s a place that holds special meaning or an activity you love doing together, the right location adds depth to your images.

What to Wear and Bring
Your attire should be a reflection of who you are, leaning towards the casual to contrast with your wedding day's formality. We suggest limiting outfits to two to maximize our shooting time, but feel free to discuss your ideas or any specific themes you wish to incorporate. Remember, primary colors bring life to photos, so consider adding a pop of red, yellow, or blue to stand out. For a comfortable experience, bring a pair of shoes for walking, and aim to carry only the essentials. This ensures we focus solely on capturing your love story.
