engagement sessions

Your engagement marks the beginning of your next chapter—and it deserves to be documented with intention, artistry, and care. At Matt & Shea Photography, our engagement sessions are designed to celebrate your connection in a way that feels authentic, elevated, and completely you.

We offer a variety of engagement session options to match your style and vision. Studio engagement sessions focus on controlled lighting and precise, guided posing, creating timeless portraits that highlight your relationship without distractions. For couples drawn to natural light and movement, outdoor engagement sessions offer a relaxed feel with thoughtfully chosen locations and beautiful, flattering light. Many couples also choose a combined studio and outdoor session for a well-rounded collection that feels both polished and natural.

No matter which option you choose, every engagement session is fully guided. You never need to worry about posing or what to do—we provide intentional direction while allowing space for genuine interaction, laughter, and connection. Outfit changes are welcome, and we’re happy to offer wardrobe guidance to help you feel confident and comfortable.

These sessions are more than just photos—they’re a chance to slow down, enjoy the moment, and create images that reflect who you are together at the start of your marriage journey.

If you’re looking for engagement portraits that feel refined, emotional, and timeless, Matt & Shea Photography would be honored to tell your story.

Let’s create something meaningful together.

Engagement sessions can be scheduled at any time of year. We recommend booking when you feel relaxed and unhurried, and when your timeline allows you to enjoy the experience without stress.
