Just got engaged — congratulations! An engagement session is a relaxed hour together in soft golden-hour light, capturing you two exactly as you are right now. Perfect for save-the-dates and a fun warm-up before the big day. Take a look at a few favorites below, then book yours online in minutes.
Book a SessionThere's nothing quite like this in-between season — engaged, planning, and still just the two of you. My engagement sessions are outdoor, golden-hour sessions around Mountain Home and North Central Arkansas, at a spot picked for beautiful light. They run about an hour, relaxed and guided the whole way, so you don't have to know how to pose — I'll help you two just be together, laugh, and be yourselves. You'll walk away with a full gallery of true-to-color images, perfect for save-the-dates, your wedding website, and framing at the reception. And if you're planning your wedding too, I'd love to be there — you can see my collections and dates on my weddings page.
Soak up this season while you're in it. Pick your date and let's capture the two of you in that beautiful golden-hour light — booking takes just a few minutes, and you'll have gorgeous images ready for your save-the-dates before you know it.

Engagement sessions with Michele McCoy Photography are $275.

Engagement sessions are photographed outdoors at a beautiful spot chosen for the best golden-hour light. Michele is based in Mountain Home, Arkansas, and serves the surrounding area within about a 30-mile radius (roughly a 30-minute drive) — including Gassville, Cotter, Flippin, Norfork, Bull Shoals, Lakeview, Midway, Salesville, and Yellville — plus scenic spots like Norfork Lake and Bull Shoals Lake.
Sessions are timed around golden hour — the soft, warm light near the end of the day — because it's the most flattering and romantic. Season-wise, any time works; many couples book a few months after getting engaged so they have photos ready for save-the-dates and their wedding website.
