3 TIPS FOR ROCKING YOUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER SESSION
01. DRESS LIKE YOURSELF
When it comes to outfits, always wear something you’re comfortable and confident in. Try to stick to a neutral color palette to go with pretty much any backdrop. I’ll be happy to share my Pinterest board for inspiration! Also think about any props you can include in your photos – balloons, boats, beer…I love original ideas!
02. MAKE IT AN ALL DAY ACTIVITY
Make a whole day out of it! You’re all dressed up, feeling and looking good, so why not extend the adventure into a full day experience. After our shoot, grab a drink, enjoy a walk, or anything you enjoy doing together!
03. DON’T BE SHY & LEAVE YOUR EXPECTATIONS AT THE DOOR
Remember to let loose, come as you are, and have FUN! There’s no right way to act when we’re shooting together – just be YOU! The truest emotion is often found in those “imperfect” moments, so embrace them! I find that music sets the tone and mood of the shoot, and also helps people relax so I’ll always have some playing.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER FAQ
1. WE’RE IN! HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?
First, fill out my contact form and I’ll respond within 24 hours. If we’re a go, I’ll send you a proposal, an invoice for the retainer payment, and a contract to seal the deal. Once I have these things, I’m all yours!
2. HOW DO YOU DELIVER PHOTOS?
I deliver your photos in an online gallery that is customized just for you. From here, you can view and download your entire gallery, as well as order prints and share with your friends and family!
3. WHAT IS YOUR TURN AROUND TIME DELIVERING PHOTOS?
For engagement and couples, you can expect to receive your full gallery within two to three weeks of your session. I send a few sneak peeks within the first week so you quickly have images to print and share on social media!
4. HOW MANY PHOTOS DO YOU USUALLY DELIVER?
Typically, you can expect to receive 20-50 photos per hour booked. Of course this number can vary depending on locations, activities involved, and day of timelines. I normally shoot thousands of photos per wedding, then pick the very best ones to edit and deliver to you. Don’t worry, I promise to never leave out the good ones!
5. CAN YOU SHOOT IN RAIN OR BAD WEATHER?
I’m a West Coast gal so when it comes to weather, throw anything at me and I’ll embrace it! We can capture magic in any situation and I’ll always come prepared – that’s part of the adventure!
6. CAN WE RESCHEDULE IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
While I’ve shot in lots of different weather situations, my personal favorites definitely lean towards golden sunsets, blue hour, overcast days or daytime shade for best lighting situations! For this reason, I’m always willing to reschedule certain sessions if the weather isn’t cooperating for us. Obviously this isn’t an option for wedding days, but I’ll help you come up with a game plan to make the most of whatever Mother Nature brings. Whatever it is, I’ll make sure you get some super unique and awesome photos in any type of weather.
7. DO YOU HELP WITH POSING US? WE’RE AWKWARD AND HAVEN’T EVER POSED FOR PHOTOS!
I’d say most of my clients have never had professional photos taken before. Don’t worry – I got you! I always like to get to know you before our session, either in person over a drink or via Zoom if you’re a world away! When our session starts, typically the first 20 minutes is getting comfortable, interacting with each other, and having fun! I guide you through the whole shoot, play music and give lots of prompts to capture the most natural and candid images.
8. CAN YOU HELP WITH OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS?
Absolutely! Before our session, I send a questionnaire as well as a styling guide link for outfit inspo and guidance.
9. WILL YOU HELP US CHOOSE A LOCATION?
I’d be happy to! I have a ton of location recommendations throughout the Okanagan that I can send over to you once we’re all booked! If we’re heading beyond, you can bet I’ll find us some beautiful locations to document your love.

HEY, I’M APRIL. YOUR NEW BFF!
Just so you know, I’m not the type of photographer that just shows up with a camera, does my thing, then calls it a day…
I’m the photographer for the couple who loves to explore, is down to try new things, and who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. If this sounds like you, you’re my people!
Before the epic photos, I want to learn all about your relationship, and also make things as easy and fun for you every step of the way. I want to be that photographer friend you love working with during all the adventures of your life!
Let’s do this…
