Behind the Scenes: A Glimpse into Creating an Engagement Photo Session
An engagement session is more than just a photo shoot—it’s a chance to capture your love story in a way that feels natural, comfortable, and uniquely yours. From the moment you inquire to the day you receive your gallery, I’m here to guide you through every step so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
Here’s what you can expect when you book your engagement session with me!
Step 1: Inquiry
It all starts with reaching out! If you’re interested in an engagement session, simply fill out the contact form on my website. I’ll respond quickly to answer any initial questions and get the process started.
Step 2: The Consult
Before we officially book, I love to schedule a quick phone consult. This is a no-pressure conversation where we can get to know each other, talk about your vision, and see if we’re the right fit. I want you to feel confident in choosing me as your photographer and excited about the experience ahead!
Step 3: Planning Your Dream Session
Once your session is booked, we dive into planning every detail to make sure it’s the perfect reflection of your relationship. It’s important to me you feel confident of what’s coming next and feel prepared for your session. Even if there’s lingering nerves you’ll be able to say “I’m in great hands with Kelly Jacobi Photography.”
When we are planning you’ll receive:
✔️ My exclusive client guides: filled with location ideas, outfit inspiration, and session tips.
✔️ Access to my client closet: if you need help with wardrobe, I’ve got you covered!
✔️ Personalized location recommendations: whether you want an intimate at-home session, a scenic nature backdrop, or a meaningful spot in town.
✔️ Guidance on outfits & styling: I’ll help you choose pieces that complement your personalities and the session vibe.
I take the stress out of planning so you can focus on enjoying the experience together!
Step 4: Your Session Day
This is where the magic happens! Most of my couples come into their session feeling a mix of excitement and nerves, but don’t worry—I guide you through everything!
During the session, I focus on:
✨ Creating a relaxed atmosphere: no awkward posing, just natural moments.
✨ Gentle and fun direction: instead of stiff poses, I give you fun, simple ways to bring out real smiles, laughter, and connection.
✨ Capturing your love authentically: whether that’s playful, romantic, adventurous, or intimate, I let your unique connection shine.
I’ll help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera so your photos feel real, effortless, and truly "you."
Step 5: The Reveal
You won’t have to wait long to see your photos! Just days after our session, you’ll get to view your full gallery.
✔️ Any digital images you purchase will be delivered immediately.
✔️ Albums and wall art arrive within two weeks!
My clients love how fast my turnaround time is, so you can start enjoying and sharing your photos right away!
Why My Approach is Different
I know being in front of the camera can feel vulnerable, which is why I create a space where you feel at ease, appreciated, and truly seen. My sessions are designed to bring out your authentic connection, so your images tell a story—not just of what you look like, but of how you love each other.
