Emily + Adam – A Millerton Lake Engagement Session

Posted on May 15, 2009

Well this has been a long time coming! I’ve been out of town traveling for weddings for most of the last couple weeks. This has left me with a backlog and a lot of posting to do.

First up is Emily and Adam and their fabulous engagement pictures taken a Millerton Lake a few weeks ago. Emily and Adam are getting married at Wolf Lakes later this year and you’ll see some wedding photographs from me then. Funny thing about this couple is that I knew Adam’s family about 20-25 years ago (no I’m not that old, I was really young when I knew them!). Emily is the one that found me, and all through their consultation I was sitting there thinking “Man, the groom and his Dad look really familiar. Turns out they were!

Here’s a few of my favs…

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a session cost?

Engagement sessions are offered for free, upon request, with any wedding booking; so if you haven’t hired a wedding photographer, we should talk! For a stand alone session, there is no fee, only a minimum purchase requirement. For local sessions that amount is $750 which would cover a custom designed guest-book or engagement album, a set of digital files and a few smaller prints, or a large canvas wall portrait and some save the date cards. How you spend it is up to you, and you’ll also receive a discount on any additional purchases that are made at your ordering session.

We saw some cool locations in your galleries, can we go out of town?

You bet! If you want to hit the beach, head to Yosemite, or take me to a Giants game in SF for your engagement session, the only difference is in the minimum purchase amount. For the Bay Area, Central Coast, Yosemite, and Central Sierra Nevada Mountains, the minimum purchase goes up to $1050 plus any park entry fees, Giants tickets, garlic fries, etc. :)

We don’t know where to go, do you have ideas?

The first thing I will say about engagement session locations is that they should mean something to you if possible. Someplace you hang out, maybe where you met, a hobby you share, or something else in that vein. If you just can’t come up with something, let me know and we’ll work together to select a location unique and special for the two of you.

When should we schedule our session?

That all depends on what you’re using the images for. If you’re planning on using the images for save-the-date cards or wedding invitations, you should schedule your session no later than 6 to 9 months before your wedding. If we’re doing a custom guest-book or engagement album, then we’ll need about 2 months. If you’re just ordering prints, then 3 to 4 weeks is usually sufficient.

Do you provide the digital files, the “disk”?

The color-corrected, high-resolution files are available for purchase after your session and their purchase applies to the minimum purchase amount for your session.
