Why an Engagement Session is a Must-Have

YOUR QUEER,
CAMERA-TOTING,
HYPE SQUAD!

Queer-owned. Creative-led. Two hype babes capturing love with heart. We’re Adeline and Valerie, your married duo serving up inclusive photo and video magic across Texas, Arkansas, San Francisco, and anywhere your story calls us.
We don’t just photograph weddings. We bring all the energy, empathy, and main-character vibes so you feel seen, hyped, and fully celebrated from the first hello to the last dance.

An engagement session is a relaxed photo shoot with your photographer before the wedding day. It helps you get comfortable in front of the camera, build a connection with your photographer, and capture genuine moments that reflect your relationship. Engagement photos and videos are perfect for save-the-dates, invitations, and celebrating this unique chapter of your love story.

Get Camera-Confident, Queen

Not everyone wakes up ready to serve model energy, and that’s okay! Engagement sessions help you shake off the camera jitters before the big day.

Most of us aren’t professional models (unless your day job is Vogue). Your engagement session is a low-pressure way to get used to the camera, learn which poses feel natural, and figure out what brings out your best side. With us, it’s more like a date night with your love, plus your favorite hype squad (hi, that’s us). We’ll guide you, keep things stress-free, and help you leave feeling like the main character.

Meet Your New Favorite Third Wheel

Engagement photos are about so much more than a killer Instagram post (though they’ll definitely look good there).

You’ll spend your whole wedding day with your photo and video team, so it’s important to vibe! Engagement sessions help us get to know your personalities, inside jokes, and what brings out your real connection. We notice how you naturally interact, what makes you laugh, and those little quirks that make your story unique. That way, your wedding photos will feel like you, not just a Pinterest board.

More Than Just Pretty Pics (But, Also, Yes)

Engagement photos are about so much more than a killer Instagram post (though they’ll definitely look good there).

You’ll use your engagement session photos for everything: save-the-dates, wedding invites, guest books, reception decor, and your next “we said yes!” post. You get a collection of professional images that feel like you, for all the moments and milestones leading up to the big day (and beyond).

Freeze This Magic Moment in Time

Your engagement is a unique chapter in your story so let us capture the excitement before the wedding whirlwind begins.

Life moves fast. Your engagement is this sweet, electric pause before you officially tie the knot. Years from now, you’ll look back at these photos and remember exactly how it felt. We help you choose a location that means something to you, like the place where you met, your favorite weekend spot, or anywhere with sunset magic. It’s all about celebrating your story.
