Every photoshoot is special and unique, truly. Because it’s about you and there’s only one story like yours. But there’s no greater joy than when we create something truly new, something different – and in this case, we captured Xenii and Alen in a special location.

It all started with the idea of taking a few creative shots to complement their mini-wedding, but the cold and rainy weather didn’t cooperate, so we had to find an indoor solution. I’ve long dreamed of doing a photoshoot at the Museum of Fine Arts – and luckily, Xenii and Alen immediately fell in love with the concept.

The challenge with the location is that, on the one hand, there are always plenty of people in the exhibits, so we had to be patient and quick-witted to make sure no one photobombed the pictures (although a lot can be fixed in post-production, I still believe that what can be done well in the ‘raw’ shot should be). On the other hand, we couldn’t use flash, so we had to make the most of the indoor lighting as creatively as possible. Honestly, I really enjoyed this creative process – these “challenges” are captivating, they draw me in and push me to step out of my comfort zone. Honestly, it’s hard for me to stop shooting at moments like this! 😀

There are so many reasons to mention, but to highlight just a few: it gives you the opportunity to capture this special, loving, magical time when you’re still preparing, waiting for the Big Day. These photos aim to show those happy, carefree, butterfly-in-the-stomach feelings that will give you strength even in tough times—they remind you why you fell in love in the first place. In a word, you’re not just getting pictures, but also an experience.

From a more practical perspective: the engagement shoot is the best rehearsal for the Big Day. You get to know your photographer and their style of directing—so on your wedding day, we meet again as familiar faces, almost like friends. This is especially important, as the photographer/videographer will be physically the closest to you during the most intimate moments, and while unnoticed, will be all around you.

On the other hand, the photos you receive can be great for multiple uses: for a ‘save the date’ post, wedding invitations, later on in wedding decor, or even on your wedding website. You can make the platforms personal and elegant with cohesive, high-quality images.

If you’d like me to capture your wedding in photos, I will definitely talk about the value of engagement photography and suggest that we create something lasting before the Big Day 🙂 I offer a special package for engagement shoots, and I provide a discount for all couples who have signed a wedding contract with me.
