Red Lodge Engagement: why this amazing town is the best for engagement photos

Red Lodge Engagement: why this amazing town is the best for engagement photos

There are so many reasons why I advocate for this, but the two primary ones are:

  • We get to know each other better and build trust before the wedding day. This lowers some barriers allowing me to capture more authentic portraits sooner in the day.

  • The other is that we get to learn and practice the communication system I use for posing and prompting. We get to practice and experiment with what types of prompts work best for the two of you. Allowing us to move straight into creating amazing images and skipping the learning/practicing part.

Knowing how your photographer works before the wedding is only going to help you get even more out of your final gallery.

Red Lodge, Montana - Engagement Photography & Inclimate Weather

A few weeks ago I had two engagement sessions up in Red Lodge. I was so excited for them, the leaves just started to change in Billings so I figured that up in Red Lodge we would find even more color! The couples were traveling from out of town and were hoping for some beautiful mountains as a backdrop for their engagement photography.

It’s totally natural to feel nervous about your upcoming engagement photography session, in fact, most people do.

My mission as a wedding and engagement photographer is to help you to relax and look good in the process. This is done by keeping you interacting with the person you love and suddenly the camera is gone.

Lots more on that in the blog, but in the mean time, let’s go check out some photography from Luke & Sammi’s engagement session.

(Spoiler alert, they have a new puppy!!)

An awesome engagement session up in Red Lodge, Montana. We hit the hill for some snowboarding photos and then downtown Red Lodge to continue our engagement session. They will be getting married this winter in Billings at The Depot. (The Depot is a great venue if you are planning a wedding in Billings.)

I hope you enjoy the photos we got during this this Red Lodge Mountain engagement session in the beautiful state of Montana!
