One of our favorite parts of being a wedding photography and videography team is getting to tell a couple’s story before the wedding day even arrives.
Engagement sessions give us a chance to slow down, get to know our couples, and create photos that feel like them. They’re less about perfect poses and more about genuine moments together.
We recently met up with Lily & John at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, Georgia for their engagement session, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Even more exciting- we’ll be back at TPC Sugarloaf soon to photograph and film their wedding.
Lily & John’s Engagement Session
Lily & John made our job incredibly easy.
From the moment we started walking around the venue, they were laughing, talking, and simply enjoying being together. Those are always our favorite sessions because nothing feels forced.
Instead of rushing from pose to pose, we spent the evening exploring the property, finding little pockets of beautiful light, and documenting the moments that naturally unfolded.
By the end of the session, it honestly felt more like hanging out with friends than working.
Why We Always Recommend Engagement Sessions
One question we hear a lot is:
“Do we really need an engagement session?”
Our answer is almost always yes.
Not because you need more photos – but because it makes such a difference for your wedding day. We offer complimentary engagement sessions when booking our hybrid wedding packages.
An engagement session allows you to:
- Get comfortable being in front of the camera.
- Learn how we photograph and direct our couples.
- Explore your wedding venue before the big day.
- Build confidence so wedding portraits feel effortless.
- Walk into your wedding already knowing what to expect.
By the time your wedding arrives, it feels like we’re seeing familiar friends instead of meeting for the first time.
Why We Loved Photographing at TPC Sugarloaf
This was our first time photographing an engagement session at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, Georgia, and we immediately understood why so many couples choose it for their wedding day.
The venue offers an incredible mix of elegant architecture and beautiful outdoor scenery, making it easy to create a gallery with lots of variety without ever leaving the property.
Some of our favorite parts of the venue included:
- Expansive golf course views.
- The beautiful clubhouse and surrounding architecture.
- Quiet walking paths surrounded by mature trees.
- Open spaces that catch the evening light beautifully.
- Plenty of unique locations for both photos and video.
As photographers and videographers, we’re always looking for locations that help us create cinematic, true-to-color imagery while still letting the couple be the focus. TPC Sugarloaf gave us exactly that.
