Kind Words
What Couples Say
We were so nervous about feeling awkward, but Mantas made it feel like a date. The photos are us - actually us - not some version of us trying to look romantic.
I did not want posed photos. I wanted moments. Mantas delivered exactly that. We forgot he was there, and the gallery made us cry.
Best decision for our wedding planning. The engagement session helped us relax on the wedding day - we already knew how he worked.
Questions
What Couples Usually Ask
What should we wear?
Whatever feels like you. I send a simple guide after booking with tips on colors, textures, and what photographs well in DC light. No matching outfits required.
What if we are awkward in front of the camera?
Most couples are. That is the point of the session - to get comfortable before the wedding. I do not pose you. I give you something to do, then disappear.
How long is the session?
Two hours. Enough time to warm up, explore 2-3 spots, and get a mix of candid and editorial shots without it feeling rushed.
Can we bring our dog / props / a change of outfit?
Yes, yes, and yes. Dogs are welcome. One outfit change is fine if it fits the timeline. Props that mean something to you - bring them.
Do we get all the photos?
You get every image that passes my quality bar - usually 80-120 edited photos. No watermarks, no upsells. Full resolution, ready to print and share.
What happens after the session?
A sneak peek within 48 hours. Your full gallery in 2-3 weeks. From there, you can order prints, albums, or use them for save-the-dates.
Ready to See Yourselves Like This?
I take a limited number of engagement sessions each season so I can give every couple the same attention. If you are planning a session in DC, I would love to hear from you.
