So you said YES—congratulations! Whether you're newly engaged or already diving into wedding planning, this season of your life is worth celebrating and capturing. At Diapers and I Do’s Photography, we believe engagement sessions are more than just a photo op—they’re a meaningful part of your love story.
Here’s why we think every couple should consider an engagement session—and how to make the most of it!
1. It’s a Chance to Celebrate This Moment
Between the proposal and the planning, engagement can feel like a blur. Your engagement session gives you a chance to pause, soak it all in, and celebrate the love that brought you here. It's your time to shine as a couple—no timelines, no pressure, just connection.
2. Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera
Not everyone feels like a model right away (and that’s totally okay!). Your engagement session is the perfect low-stress way to get used to being photographed together. You'll get to know my shooting style, and I’ll learn what brings out your natural chemistry and personality.
Bonus: You’ll feel so much more relaxed on your wedding day because you’ve already had the practice!
3. Personalize Your Location and Style
Your engagement shoot is all about you—where you love, how you connect, what makes your story unique. Want to revisit your proposal spot? Bring your pup? Dress it up or keep it cozy? Let’s make it yours.
Whether it’s a mountaintop moment, downtown stroll, or sunset snuggles in a field, the location and vibe can be totally personalized.
4. Use the Photos Everywhere
Your engagement photos aren’t just for Instagram (though, yes, they’ll look amazing there). You can use them for:
Save-the-dates
Wedding website
Guestbook or display at the reception
Gifts for parents or family
Home décor and keepsakes
Trust us—these photos will be keepsakes long after the wedding.
5. It Builds Trust With Your Photographer
This might be the most underrated part of all. Your engagement session gives us a chance to connect before the big day. We'll laugh, chat, and build a comfort level that makes your wedding photos feel more natural and effortless. By the time your wedding rolls around, you won’t just have a photographer—you’ll have someone in your corner.

Whether you're newly engaged or just getting around to planning photos, we'd be honored to help you document this exciting chapter. Let’s create something beautiful together that reflects your love story.
