Capturing & celebrating a unique moment in time

Whether you’re nervous about being in front of the camera or want to share your engagement with some bubbly & fun photos of the two of you then an engagement session is perfect for you!

Engagement sessions allow you to not only capture this moment in time but also have those fun photos (without the awkwardness) at your favourite spot all while getting comfortable in front of myself & the camera so that when you’re wedding day rolls around you’ll both be absolute stars with the camera and each other!

Melbourne Engagement Photography Package

Whats Included:

Location scouting

I always prioritise scouting out new and unique venues and locations. Whilst I have a short list of favourite spots, I love finding new locations, especially when they represent my couples. My pre-event scouting enables me to familiarise myself with the layout, discover optimal backdrops for your portraits, and ensure a seamless experience, resulting in the best portraits possible.

1-hour session time

We will meet a little before the start time to maximise our session. The hour is the perfect amount of time to shake off those nerves and relax into your photos.

50+ high res, hand-edited images

A whole gallery with so many moments to remember! You will receive your photos via an online gallery, which allows you to download or send them to print.

Add to your Wedding

Engagement sessions are $400 when added to a wedding or elopement package.

Kind Words

Dani is a fantastic photographer. She was very warm, and easy to work with, and it just felt like a nice afternoon with a friend. We just received her photos, and we were amazed at every single one as we looked through all of them! She takes dramatic photos that capture the emotion of the subjects and the environment, and these are the photos that you are proud to display on your wall. Thank you Dani for all the lovely captured memories!

Joms & Chris

Dani worked with my girlfriend and I recently on a couples shoot. Her calm and encouraging manner put me at ease straight away, despite not being quite sure what we were in for! The whole experience was so much fun and i couldn’t recommend Dani more highly. Our photos turned out incredibly and we are going to treasure both the experience and the photos for years and years to come.

Cardeux & Imogen

My fiancé and I had a couple shoot with Dani followed by her attending our engagement party for a few hours. Dani is so warm and easy going. Made the whole experience fun and stress free. The photos she took were just gorgeous and such nice colouring and quality. We loved Dani so much we’ve just booked her in for our wedding next year!!

Frequently Asked Questions

We want a location that’s not the “usual” are you ok with that?

We want your photos to reflect who you are as a couple so finding a spot that is perfect for you is essential! Whether it’s your home, urban, your favourite spot or with your prized car – we will make it work. Send your ideas my way and if you need help finding a location, let me know and I’ll hunt it down!

When should we do our engagement photos?

This is entirely up to you but to give a guide, ask yourself if they’re to capture the moment or if you want to use them on save the dates? If using for save the dates, then aim for around 12 months out from your wedding; however, if they are just for you to capture the moment, then the session can happen anytime.

Can we bring our pet?

Yes please! Dog, cat or ferret, whatever pet you have, if you want them at the session, please bring them along!

What happens if the weather is bad?

We always have a plan B! Things happen; however, we will always make the best of the situation. We can either ride with it and stick with the original location, change location or, worst case - reschedule and keep fingers crossed for better weather.

How do you ensure that our engagement photos reflect our personalities?

Letting the two of you be you is my number one priority. I will often give activities and ‘games’ to help you move and focus on each other. They are not overly structured, and I use different ones for different couples, depending on personalities.

How long will it take to receive our edited engagement photos?

I am to have photos back to you within 4 - 6 weeks of your session, but this can take a little longer in peak times.

What should we wear for our engagement photos?

You will get a run-down on this in my engagement session guide, but I really only have 2 don’ts - avoid really bold patterns and no large logos. I suggest you wear what is comfortable and try to match each other with your colour palette.

Can you suggest some popular engagement photo locations in Melbourne?

Absolutely! I have a handful of go-to locations and I’m constantly adding to the list. Let me know if you have a particular ‘vibe’ you’d like for your photos and we can make it happen.

How do I book a session with you?

I’ve kept the process super easy! Once you fill out the enquiry form, we will schedule a chat to find a package that suits. After we have found the perfect package, I will send through all the paperwork and invoice to lock in your session.

What happens if unforeseen circumstances affect the photography schedule?

We always have a plan B! Things happen, however, we will always make the best of the situation.
