In-Home Engagement Session

I believe engagement photos are a reflection of you and bae’s relationship.

You should never feel like your photos HAVE to look a certain way or be taken in a certain place. That’s bullshit. Engagement photos capture such a special time in a couples’ relationship, so your personalities and special interests should be front and center. After I talked with Jazmin and Joe, we decided an in-home engagement session would be perfect for them. Their session was basically a stay-at-home date night, and I’m obsessed with how their photos turned out.

The Details

Joe and Jazmin are both relatively introverted, so they spend a lot of time in their apartment. Add in their sweet new fur baby, and we knew choosing an in-home engagement session was the best option.
I would call this session more of a hybrid, where I took both film and digital photos.
When they’re at home, Jazmin and Joe love sharing drinks together and hanging out with their pupper, so we made sure to take photos of them doing those things!
The light coming through the blinds was so fun for me to play with. Even though we took photos during the day, I experimented with flash too. Between the film, flash, and natural lighting, they have a ton of different photo options to choose from.

Must Knows

These two really used their in-home engagement session as a way to capture a moment in time. Eventually they’ll move out of that apartment, so these photos are a sweet way for them to remember that time and place in their relationships. More of this please!
If you’re on the fence about taking engagement photos in your home, don’t be! There are so many ways I can pose you to maximize your space. Hiring a photographer that knows how to manipulate lighting can also make your photos look and feel like you’re somewhere else. Work with a photographer you trust, and you’ll be in good hands.
I’ve been loving film photos recently, so I was freakin’ pumped to take them for this session. If you want film and digital photos when working with me, we can definitely discuss it!
Just because you’re at home doesn’t mean you have to skimp on outfit changes. Joe and Jazmin both rocked two different outfits to show off their style and personalities.
