Meaningful Experience
Session
So Tender
What is a Meaningful Experience Session?
In the beginning we included an engagement session in our main package because, well, everyone else did. Once we did a good number of them, we also realized they’re not just for a few Save-The-Date images but also a great way for us to build a connection with the couple prior to the wedding day, have fun and get creative in a relaxed setting.
And this year, after many years and many engagement sessions, our process has evolved once again. We no longer do engagement sessions, but Meaningful Experience Sessions instead. The change is not merely in the name, we want your shoot to be exactly that – a meaningful experience.
Meaningful experience session
Prior to the engagement session, we often heard from the couple how awkward they typically feel having their photos taken or some may even suggest they’re not photogenic (no such thing!). If someone pulls you out of your comfort zone and tells you to do something you typically don’t do (“go there by the tree”, “smile”, “now, hug and kiss”), it is only normal that you feel anxious.
I once heard that people are the most beautiful when they’re in the process of doing what they love.
That’s when the natural emotions of joy and curiosity come out, and they are beautiful indeed.
Ok, ok…
What's Next?
There are a few things that we want you to think about before your session, such as – what do you enjoy doing together the most? What aesthetic do you like? Maybe you watched a movie recently that you really loved or saw something that inspired you. Then follow these steps so we can come up with a creative idea for your session:

Get inspired! There are a few communities that we are a part of. We have no intention of recreating someone else’s work, but seeing different styles may help you get a better idea of what it is you want to do. We won’t want to do the same thing but we can certainly get an idea of which direction we want to go. Here are some of the pages to help you get started –>
