Frequently asked questions
1. When should we schedule our engagement photos?
The best time to schedule your engagement photos in Burlington, Vermont is about 6–12 months before your wedding.

For the best lighting, I always recommend scheduling your session during golden hour — just before sunset.

Outfits play a big role in how your photos feel. I recommend:
Neutral or soft tones
