Engagement sessions are the first real meeting for some clients with their actual photographer. Times have changed, and for most, they are meeting over a phone call, skype, facetime, or through email; as crazy as that seems, it is now the new norm! And if you are still in the planning phases, talk to us about how you can get your surprise proposal coverage for FREE; yep, we said it - FREE!
You want to pick a location that either has meaning for you as a couple or that can play off your fun side and bring it to life through your personalities, really allowing yourselves to fit into the scene. Some of our clients enjoy locations like Great Falls, Union Station, Senate Park, Georgetown, Meridian Park, Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, Old Town Warrenton, Old Town Alexandria, a backdrop of the Chesapeake Bay Bride, National Mall, and Monuments like the steps of the Supreme Court, Capitol Hill, Library of Congress, reflecting pools and of course, Cherry Blossom season int he DC area in early April and sometimes even March-end depending on the cold season and how long it lasts!
That is great and we are sure there must be one or two good ones in there! But on a serious note, nothing can replace that time that you will have with your photographer(s) before the wedding day or pre-celebrations begin. It is important to know how one will photograph before the actual coverage begins to offer advice and expertise to create a fail-safe environment for capturing images. Some clients may be light sensitive and need time to adjust to the brightness, most do not know what to do with their hands, whether to smile or not and of course, as a couple, all those things are pretty important when taking photos together let alone. Therefore it is always advised that you take your photographer up on the opportunity of another engagement session with him/her.
While the engagement sessions that we offer are complimentary, you can pay the difference to turn it into a "photo shoot" this entails adding wardrobe, accessories, hair, make-up, props, a more dramatic location that often requires coordination and set-up creating more of a scene for your session allowing you to get ready on set - brainstorming your vision and compiling a storyboard of inspiration. If this is something you are after please feel free to drop us an email with your ideas and we can figure out the scope and cost, providing you with an estimate for execution of your one-of-a-kind photo shoot. These shoots typically run a half-day and start at $1200 in addition to services to be rendered.
For local engagement sessions within 100-mile radius of Washington DC the session fee is $675 inclusive of our time up to 1.5 hours and all high-resolution files along with a handful of RP Favorites retouched to perfection. Thumb drives are available at an additional fee of $55, add-on tangible products available upon request - most clients no longer have USB ports and therefore are using cloud services to store images as the safest method of storage.
