This session is for couples who want to turn their engagement shoot into something meaningful and creative. We’ll take our time and create space to explore — whether that’s a sentimental location (like your proposal spot or first date hangout), a scenic setting you love, or two contrasting places that tell your story.
You’re welcome to bring multiple outfits to switch things up — dressy and casual, cozy and cool — and I’ll help with outfit tips ahead of time if you want them!
More than anything, this session is a chance for us to connect before the wedding. It gives us space to build trust, have fun, and get you feeling totally comfortable in front of the camera — so when the wedding day arrives, it all feels natural.
This is a great option if:
• You want more variety and visual storytelling
• You have a special location that’s meaningful to your relationship
• You’re excited to treat this as a full experience, not just a photo session
We’ll begin with a personalized Planning Session where we talk through your vision — location ideas, outfit styling, the vibe you’re going for, and how to make this session feel like you. Whether you have a specific location in mind (like your proposal spot or favorite date-night hangout), or need help brainstorming, I’m here to collaborate with you every step of the way.
During your session, we’ll visit one or two locations, and you’re welcome to bring outfit changes for variety. I’ll gently direct you when needed but always leave space for candid moments and real connection.
This session is more than just portraits — it’s an experience that allows us to connect before the wedding and gives you images that feel timeless, personal, and true to your story.
Hi, I’m Vince Petitjean, a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Pittsburgh. Along with my wife Nikki, our son Tobi, and our dog Winston, we love calling this city home. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me enjoying pizza, DND, Cody Johnson, coffee, or at church.
As a photographer, I focus on capturing candid moments that tell the true story of your wedding day. My goal is to create organic, authentic images that show the love you share with each other and with your friends and family. I’m not here to tell my story, but yours, through photos that you can cherish for years to come.
