Mark L. Simmons · Engagement Sessions

The right location is already part of your story.

"Where should we take our engagement photos?" Let's figure it out. Answer as many of the questions below as y'all can. I like to think of engagement photos as formally documenting y'all's time dating. Let's find a location that's true to y'all as a couple.

The Questionnaire

A few questions about you two.

Less a form, more the conversation we'd have over coffee. Skip anything that doesn't apply — there are no wrong answers.

I

Bonus points if it still exists.

II
III

Where you met, got engaged, or had a big moment.

IV
V
VI

A neighborhood is plenty — it helps me suggest spots close to home.

VII Is y'all's home an option?

Some of my favorite sessions happen where couples actually live — cooking dinner, hanging on the porch, just being home.

VIII Which setting sounds most like your photos?
IX How do y'all feel about the beach?

I'm always down for a session in Galveston.

X Morning people or golden-hour people?
XI How do you picture yourselves dressed?

XIV How many locations do you want for your session?

Paste any Pinterest boards or links here — and feel free to send screenshots or saved posts my way after you submit this.

Your answers come straight to me. I'll reply with a shortlist of two or three locations chosen for you.
