Couples Photography VS Engagement Photos 

Kelly Tareski Photography: Capturing Love in Different Stages

Let's Roll!

Quick answer: Engagement photography is a type of couples photography tied to an engagement or upcoming wedding. Couples photography can be booked at any relationship stage and does not require wedding plans. The biggest difference is the purpose of the session, not how formal the photographs look.

Couples Photography: Celebrating Your Connection

Couples Photography captures the unique connection, love, and chemistry between two people, regardless of their relationship stage. These sessions are perfect for couples who want to document their love story, whether newly dating, celebrating an anniversary, or simply enjoying creating lasting memories together. At Kelly Tareski Photography, we strive to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere during our Couples Photography sessions, allowing you and your partner to feel comfortable and connected in front of the camera.

Our approach

Our Couples Photography sessions are highly customizable, with various settings and backdrops to suit your preferences. From our enchanting five-acre garden and vintage venues to our cozy indoor studios, we offer a diverse range of picturesque locations. Additionally, we take the time to get to know you and your partner, ensuring that your session reflects your unique personality and the essence of your relationship.

Engagement Photos: Commemorating a Milestone

On the other hand, Engagement Photos are specifically designed to celebrate and document the exciting milestone of your decision to spend your lives together. These sessions often serve as a formal announcement of your engagement and can be used for save-the-date cards, wedding invitations, or simply as a cherished memory of this particular time in your life.

We get it

At Kelly Tareski Photography, we understand the significance of this milestone and work closely with you to create a personalized and memorable Engagement Photo session. We offer a variety of settings, including our magnificent five-acre garden, vintage venues, and indoor studios, such as the old cabin. Additionally, our state-of-the-art hair and makeup studio and its fully equipped team of professionals ensure that you both look and feel your best during your session.

It's an event

Engagement sessions are not automatically more formal than other couples sessions. They can be casual, editorial, romantic, playful, studio-based, outdoor, or built around an activity. The engagement or upcoming wedding gives the session its purpose, while the wardrobe, location, posing, and overall style can be as relaxed or polished as you want.

Choosing the Right Session for You

When deciding between Couples Photography and Engagement Photos at Kelly Tareski Photography, start with the purpose of the session. Choose a couples session if you want to document your relationship without tying the images to wedding planning. Choose an engagement session if the engagement itself, save-the-date or wedding use, or this pre-wedding milestone is part of the reason for the photographs. The posing, wardrobe, locations, and styling can overlap between both types of sessions.

That's a Wrap!
