Here you’ll meet Michelle and Aaron. We drove out to the Columbia Gorge on a hot summer day.

I ofter get asked do I recommend doing an engagement session and why? Heck yeah! DO IT! Do an engagement sessions! And we'll tell you what: wSP strives to actually make you feel like you're soaring on clouds at your engagement photo shoot. Why Shoot an engagement photo shoot? We consider engagement sessions so important because not only are they a celebration of your exciting future together, they're also prime time for us to capture all that ooey gooey, lovey-dovey stuff on camera.

Seeing how you two are together can prepare us immensely for your wedding day. It also gives you an opportunity to see how we work behind the camera, ensuring you have a brilliant wedding with no qualms or worries whatsoever. Plus, there are a bajillion uses for the photos we take that day, including save the dates, wedding websites, bridal shower, bachelor party and wedding invites, thank-you cards and more.

Engagement Photo Session Deets

So what goes into an engagement session? We'll tell you. We start out by discussing the details: themes, locations, outfits, and what you plan to use your images for. From there, Cloud Nine secures location permits, works to find the perfect props (if necessary), and even guides you in your wardrobe choices if you want a little help. We'll be here along the way to address any questions you have.

We always get lots of mushy photos that showcase your love, and you better believe we capture all the details too (including your ring)! If you have any specific requests, we'll make sure to get those taken care of, as well. Pretty sweet, right?
