The timing for your engagement session can vary depending on your preferences and wedding timeline. Here are some general guidelines to consider: Timing: Most couples schedule their engagement sessions 10-12 weeks before their wedding. This gives us for enough time to finish post production work of your images and enough time to you to use the photos for save-the-date cards, wedding websites, or other pre-wedding materials.
