Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes and we love photographing engagement sessions! Engagement sessions take place Mondays to Thursdays. Please contact Donna for more information.

Is it important to have an engagement session?
While it is mandatory for some photographers to have an engagement session with their clients, it is not for us. An engagement session is nice because we get to know both of you and your faces. While we are watching you, we are also learning how to best photograph you. During an engagement session, we also build rapport and trust so that things will flow naturally on the wedding day.

How long does an engagement session last?
Olin offers two different engagement session types, one lasting 1.5 hours and the other longer. Engagement sessions by our associate photographers lasts 1.5 hours.

Do you suggest getting professional make up?
Absolutely. Pamper yourself! We suggest contacting your make up artist for your wedding and seeing if she offers engagement session services.

Can we bring a friend to our engagement session?
We personally prefer that we spend time with just our couples. Sometimes having a third person really changes the dynamic of the session and affects the intimacy of my couples. We spend this time also trying to get to know my couples on a personal basis. However, our couples are always welcomed to bring a child , children or pets but friends and other family members are typically a no no.

At least 4 months before your wedding day would be ideal and earlier if you need the photographs for your save the dates.
