At Julie Trinh Photography, photography is an art form. As a professional engagement photographer, I’ll assist you in finding inventive ways to express your passion, romance, and commitment in memories that last a lifetime.
My Name is Julie Trinh
I’m a professional photographer who specializes in love stories, from proposals to wedding days. I implement creative methods to capture each couple’s energy, vibrance, and excitement during each step closer to saying, “I do.”
Engagements play an integral role in your love story. During these extra special photo shoots, I focus on making you both feel comfortable and confident. With me behind the lens, you can express the love you feel for each other through body language, facial expressions, and natural displays of affection with full confidence that I will capture the special bond you share in full color.
Lots of photographers focus only on their subjects. While I, too, focus on my clients, I emphasize the breathtaking features of any surrounding elements for a more intimate, meaningful masterpiece. Get in touch with me when you are ready to make your engagement photos as vibrant and lively as your love for each other!
Why Is Engagement Photography So Important?
Photography for wedding ceremonies and receptions feels non-negotiable, but what about the engagement? Weddings only last a day or two and include the participating wedding party and numerous guests. But why overlook the happy bride-to-be’s glow or the newfound sparkle in the eye of the future groom?
Don’t underestimate the engagement period’s importance and level of excitement—there is so much to appreciate about your time preparing for a new journey together. A talented engagement photographer can capture the thrill of that preparation time. You are taking your first steps toward a life of love, commitment, and sharing, so appreciate each moment leading up to the final vows.
In addition to their romantic vibe, engagement photos have several practical uses. Don’t you want to announce your engagement with stunning photos of the ring and the romance? You can also attach these pictures to wedding invitations, wedding programmes, or decor elements on the big day.
Most importantly, you will both be able to hold them dear, mementos of care-free abandon before the seriousness of the day itself. Use them to remember what made you say yes to the ring, and proudly display them as the prequel to a long and happy marriage.
Choosing Creative Engagement Photo Ideas
Before setting your engagement photo shoot in stone, I often recommend sharing as many engagement photo ideas as possible. The more you give me to work with, the better I can accommodate your vision. Why not start with a digital pinboard of poses, locations, and outfits you love and share it with me?
You can also list descriptors that fit you, your fiance, and the nature of your relationship so that I can base the shoot on who you are and what you want while we work together. As an unapologetic creative and a romantic at heart, I use these guidelines to direct the photo shoot and final prints that artfully reflect your unique relationship.
Detailed planning also helps you both develop a well-informed idea of what you want from engagement photos, ideas, and the rest of the process. From there, we can begin the artistic journey together.
The Artistic Journey of a Beautiful Relationship
What do you want from the photo shoot of your engagement? What’s next after collecting images and adjectives that match your relationship’s energy? Get in touch with me by filling out my contact form with as much detail as possible!
When we meet, I want you to feel like you’re talking to an old friend. During the consultation, we’ll take a deep dive into your vision, review your ideas, and start forming a plan for the shoot that includes the following:
- A suitable date
- The best time to take advantage of natural light
- The location that best reflects your desires or sparks your imagination
- A stunning wardrobe for you and your fiancé
- Other elements you want to include, such as props, pets, or children
When we arrive at the set location, I’ll choose the best camera and lens to capture your energy, spirit, love for one another, and the surrounding landscape. We can also move to different areas to make the most of the natural light or landscape.
You’ll receive some sample prints within a couple of weeks after the engagement photo session, with final photos arriving within about two months. You can also purchase extra prints to share.
Engagement Photography Packages
My professional photography packages depend upon the timeframe and the shots you want me to capture. If you want to use the pictures in an announcement or invitation, I can also help select the best shots. I typically recommend a combination of the following shots:
- Close-up: Captured from the bust or waist up, this shot works well for invitations.
- Location: A vivid background to complement your photos.
- Ring focus: A close-up shot of the engagement ring to make the commitment feel real.
- Hero shot: A full-body shot positioning you against an attractive backdrop.
- Documentary style: Spontaneous moments like shared laughs, kisses, and conversations.
