What unique techniques does Scott Kivowitz employ in capturing engagement sessions?

Hi there!

During engagement sessions, I focus on keeping things real and relaxed rather than heavily posed. I tell couples to be themselves, enjoy the moment, and interact naturally. I’ll only step in when I see something that needs a quick adjustment or when a simple prompt will enhance the story—like saying, “Let’s see that ring!” right after the proposal.

My goal is to capture genuine reactions, not staged perfection, so the photos feel like them, not like a photoshoot.

Is there a particular part of an engagement session you’re most curious about—planning, posing, or locations?
