Your engagement is a notable chapter in your love story. Naturally, it needs to be commemorated with engagement photography by a professional photographer.

At Amika Gair Wedding Photography in West Hartford, CT, an engagement photography session is always complimentary with each wedding photography package. The amount of photos included in your engagement session will depend upon the wedding package you choose. Most couples choose the standard package, which includes 20 beautiful photographs highlighting your engagement session.

Regarding location for an engagement session, I will never say no to a park with lots of greenery or beach (even in the winter). Winter light is the most beautiful and we can easily have the beach to ourselves. I try to shy away from urban settings as getting the two of you all alone becomes much more complicated. While it’s more complex, it is still an option if that’s your vibe.

Engagement photography is the opportunity to tell this part of your love story. Where did you meet? Where did you get engaged? Is there a place you always walk or a favorite town you love? The possibilities are endless, and we can get creative with how you want the engagement session to unfold. Is it a surprise engagement session? If the engagement is a surprise, different pricing will apply.  Some couples decide to forgo the engagement photography session, which is your prerogative. Still, it’s an excellent way for us to get to know each other better and celebrate this fantastic moment in your life––you’re engaged!

I love engagement photography!

At Amika Gair Wedding Photography, we love engagement photography sessions because the excitement is palpable. It’s akin to riding that swinging chair ride at the amusement park; it’s exhilarating, thrilling, and just plain old fun.

The question I get asked most when planning an engagement photography session is how to ensure I get the photos I want. We will meet in person beforehand to review the location, props, and photo inspirations. If you’d like Amika Gair Wedding Photography to copy another photographer’s vision, we will always put our on own spin.

Getting the desired photos in an engagement session is always easier because there is no timeline.

Another question frequently asked is can I do an outfit change? We recommend up to two outfits as the change cuts into the time we have to take photos. Another frequently asked question is how long it will take me to get my engagement photos back. The typical turnaround is 12 business days. They will be delivered in a custom flash drive with a print release. Amika Gair Photography will always try to post a sneak peek of the engagement session on social media (i.e., Instagram and Facebook) within 48 hours of the session. Reposting and sharing are always encouraged, and Amika Gair Photography requests that you credit us.

These engagement photographs celebrate the love for the person you love. It’s a fantastic celebration of your love for one another that must be documented professionally. You’ll want these photographs as a lead-up to your wedding day photos because they tell an essential part of the story.

Your engagement session is what you want to make it. Do you want to have a session at Elizabeth Park during the peak of the rose garden. Or does a quiet session in a local reservoir make more sense? Or do you want a white blanket of snow to be your backdrop? Your imagination is the limit. Amika Gair Wedding Photography will guide you to the most memorable location to tell your love story.

Engagement sessions are just that—the intertwining of you and your partner. We want all participants to be engaged (no pun intended) and to feel a part of the process. Engagement photography sessions are just plain fun. We could all use a little more fun in our lives. Reach out today to book an engagement session with Amika Gair Photography.
