ENGAGEMENT FAQs

What if I already have a wedding photographer booked, but I want to schedule an engagement session with Unveilus?

No matter. Give us a call. We would be happy to photograph your engagement session. We will schedule you for a consultation to discuss the details.

How much does an engagement session cost?

Pricing depends on what is agreed upon in consultation, but the average cost for a 2 hour session is $500.

How long will it take to photograph my engagement shoot?

The time length is dependant on what was discussed in consultation and number of locations, but the average time to do the shoot is about 2 hours.

Do I receive a free engagement session if I book my wedding with Unveilus?

Yes! All of our wedding packages include a free engagement session when we book your wedding date. At no additional cost, you will receive a proof box containing your photos.

How should I dress for my engagement session?

Choice of wardrobe can vary and is always left up to you. Depending on the significance of the location, you might want to wear something casual or something more formal. Then again, your session is meant to capture who the two of you are. Often couples bring a change of clothes if they select multiple locations so they may have something formal and something casual in their photographs.

Where will my engagement session take place?

We like for couples to choose a location that is meaningful to them or a place they have enjoyed together in the past. If you are unsure of where you would like to hold your engagement session, we can make a number of suggestions. We are flexible, so just ask!

Do I have other options for displaying my engagement prints besides regular photo prints?

Yes. At no additional cost to you, a proof box with 100- 5"X7" professional archival quality prints is included in your engagement pricing (number of prints depend on package selected). If you wanted something different you can choose from proof books, albums, and coffee table books for an additional fee.

Can we photograph my session in others places besides Los Angeles County?

Certainly! Although we are based in LA, we can shoot in almost any southern California location including San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, Ventura, and San Diego Counties for an additional fee.

What time of the day is the best time to photograph my session?

The best times to photograph outdoors are early mornings or late afternoons. The reason for this is that direct sunlight at mid-day creates harsh shadows on faces which do not photograph well. Therefore we suggest shooting during these particular times.

Should we bring a second change of clothes or avoid any types of clothing?

A second change of clothes is a good idea, as we tend to shoot hundreds of photos in the same session, it is best to wear something different so that all the photos do not end up looking the same. Clothing and accessories that should be avoided include: clashing colors or patterns as they distract from your faces, glasses (they tend to cause glare), and chunky jewelry (becomes distracting from you).
