When it comes to engagement photos, it’s all about capturing the magic of the moment, the laughter, the love, and those authentic vibes that make your relationship uniquely yours. That’s why candid engagement photos are my absolute favorite! Whether we’re running around, dancing, or just having a good time, I’m here to guide you and capture those real, unfiltered moments that show off your true connection!

Shelby and Josh’s Candid Engagement Photos

Let me tell you about Shelby and Josh’s engagement session in Tacoma, WA. The vibes were incredible! It was mid-November, and while the day was chilly (I’m talking colddd), that didn’t stop us from having a blast! We met up at Point Defiance Park, a gorgeous location that gave us all the PNW feels. And despite the cold, we managed to warm up by running around, laughing, and just enjoying the day!

Embracing the Authentic Moments

One of the things I love most about candid engagement sessions is how natural everything feels. Shelby and Josh were a little nervous at first (who wouldn’t be?!), but after a quick chat, we just let things flow! They were so great at taking the prompts I gave them and making them their own. I’ll never forget when I suggested, “Let’s dance on the table,” and they not only danced but started singing and twirling to Taylor Swift! It was a perfect, unscripted moment that just showed off their fun, playful side. 

Movement is Magic

Shelby and Josh specifically wanted movement in their photos, which is something I LOVE to incorporate! There’s something so special about capturing you two in action, whether it’s chasing each other, dancing, or just being silly. We spent the session doing just that, and the results were fantastic! The photos we captured were full of energy and love, reflecting exactly who they are as a couple. This is what candid engagement photos are all about!

Why Candid Engagement Photos are the Best

There’s a reason I’m so obsessed with candid engagement photos, they allow you to be yourselves. No stiff poses, no awkward moments, just you two, having fun and being in love. Whether you want to dance, run around, or even have a quiet moment together, I’m there to capture it all! These sessions are all about creating memories that feel true to you, and that’s what makes the photos so special. 

Flexibility is Key: We Can Do Anything!

One of the best things about engagement sessions is that they’re totally customizable. Want to hit up multiple locations? Let’s do it! Want to incorporate some of your favorite activities or places? I’m all in! The point is, we can do whatever you want to make your engagement photos feel like you. I’m just here to guide the process and capture the magic that happens!

Tips for Your Own Candid Engagement Session

Thinking about booking a candid engagement session? Here are a few tips to help you make the most of it:

• Be Yourselves: Don’t worry about being “perfect.” The best photos come from those genuine, unscripted moments where you’re just being yourselves.
• Embrace the Movement: Don’t be afraid to move! Whether it’s dancing, running, or just walking hand-in-hand, movement brings your photos to life.
• Choose Meaningful Locations: Pick spots that mean something to you as a couple. Whether it’s where you had your first date, a favorite park, or even your backyard, the location can add another layer of meaning to your photos.
• Dress Comfortably: Wear something you feel great in and can move around easily. Layers are always a good idea, especially if the weather is unpredictable.

Why Shelby and Josh’s Session Was So Special

Working with Shelby and Josh was an absolute joy. Shelby’s kindness and compliments made me feel like a million bucks, and Josh’s quiet love for her was so sweet to witness. They were nervous at first, but once we got going, they completely relaxed and just had fun. We laughed, danced, and even sang to Taylor Swift (yes, they’re Swifties!). Their willingness to just go with the flow and be themselves made their photos so genuine and full of life.
