A Whimsical Summer Engagement Session At Fallbrook Estate

Congratulations on your new status! It delights our hearts to find two people who are head over heels for each other and cannot take their eyes off each other. With all the couple photos slowly taking over your social media feed, you must be wondering whether or not you should join the bandwagon of clicking engagement photographs. But what if we tell you that just like your wedding photography session, your engagement portraits are once-in-a-lifetime moments too?

Engagement portraits can take you back to the days when both you and your partner were planning your wedding, which marked the beginning of lifetime planning sessions. Keepsakes from your engagement photography session can be a walk down the memory lane, bringing back the glorious past, reminding you of the journey that you promised to begin. 

 

There is something so magical and infectious along with the sense of joy and excitement among newly engaged couples, that comes to life in engagement photography sessions. What can be a better opportunity to document your love story than celebrating it with a professional photography session? We believe that every newly engaged pair deserves a collection of professional couple photos to look back on and cherish. 

 

Whether you are sick and tired of looking at couples wearing color-coordinated clothes or couples kissing in front of the backdrop of blurred out cityscapes, you cannot ignore the romantic feeling that they entail. It's unmissable! You can always go ahead and throw in your mix of charm to your professional engagement photography session as we believe that every couple has a different kind of energy and passion to them, that comes out strikingly in their engagement portraits. 

 

If you and your partner aren't professional models, there is a fair chance that like most of the couples you won't be naturally at ease in front of the camera. Getting your engagement photos clicked from professional engagement photographers, who will most likely be your wedding photographers as well, with whom you will spend the most amount of time on your wedding day, this might be your chance to swap stories and share laughs before your big day. 

 

Whether you want a casual engagement photography session with candid and pre-planned poses or document your actual proposal with one knee bent and impromptu emotional moments, as people are getting more and more creative there are many kinds of engagement photographs from sharing similar beliefs to indulging in hobbies. According to many couples, they feel that their engagement photos are the truest reflection of them as a couple because of the presence of everyday style and natural elements in the pictures. Although not mandatory, couple photography sessions have become a rage over time due to the rise of social media, as every couple wants to display their fragrant portrayal of love in front of the world before they tie the knot. 

 

From engagement portraits running from simple detail shots to six-hour-long extravaganzas in multiple locations with multiple outfits, there is no argument that engagement photography sessions are the new kick for newly engaged couples. Whether you are getting married or getting engaged, these are the moments that will never come back and freezing these moments in the most appealing professional photography will always remind you of the best reasons as to why you started this new life.

 

On a bright summer day in 2019, we swooned over the newly engaged duo, which reminded us of the naivety and whimsical spark of love and affection. We were greatly pleased when we met Chateria and Shawn, the couple with a blooming sense of passion, who are also teamed with a great sense of style and chicness. It would be right to say that we fell in love the moment we saw them, because of their adorable smiling faces and lively demeanor, and we were serendipitous to document their new beginning.
