There are few seasons in life as sweet as engagement.

It’s that sacred pause between the question and the vows, where laughter, nerves, and long glances build the bridge toward forever. One of the most meaningful ways to capture this season is with an engagement session — and if you’re planning your wedding in the Lehigh Valley or surrounding areas, you are in for a treat.

As a wedding and engagement photographer serving Lehigh County, Berks County, Bucks County, and beyond, I want to offer you everything you need to know to plan a joyful, relaxed, and meaningful engagement photo experience.

Why Engagement Photos Matter

Engagement photos do more than just decorate your save-the-dates. They:

• Help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day
• Capture the joy and personality of this chapter in your story
• Give us a chance to connect before the big day
• Provide beautiful images for your wedding website, guest book, and social media

Plus, it’s just plain fun.

When to Schedule Your Engagement Session

In the Lehigh Valley, the most popular times for engagement photography is spring (April–June) and fall (late September–early November). These months offer soft, golden light and seasonal beauty.

Golden hour — that dreamy hour just before sunset — is ideal for capturing flattering, romantic light. I always schedule sessions with light in mind.

Want a cozy winter session in the snow? A playful summer date-night vibe? Let’s choose a time that fits your vision.

What to Wear (and How to Feel Like Yourself)

My biggest advice? Dress like the elevated version of you. Think timeless, clean lines, soft colors, and pieces that move beautifully. Avoid loud logos or overly trendy prints.

Many couples choose:

• One dressy outfit (think flowy dress or suit jacket)
• One casual outfit (cozy sweaters, boots, denim)

Bonus Tip: Book your bridal makeup trial the same day as your session. That way, you not only look stunning, but also get a preview of how your bridal look photographs! It’s a client favorite.
