Advantages of Indoor Engagement Sessions

Choosing an indoor location for an engagement session can be an excellent choice. The following are some reasons why you might want to consider it.

With indoor sessions, weather conditions cease to be a concern. This aspect is particularly beneficial during extreme cold or heat. Plus, there’s no need to worry about rain dates!

The possibilities for indoor sessions are endless! You can get really creative (a favorite brewery, coffee shop, book store, etc). Make it extra special and personal – choose the location of your first date!

Bellevue Hall : An Indoor Engagement Session

Recently, I had the opportunity to document John and Priscilla’s engagement at the historic Bellevue Hall. Ahhhh, this place! Located in Wilmington, Delaware, Bellevue Hall offers a unique space with historic charm and elegant decor. It is definitely a favorite and a one of a kind backdrop for an indoor engagement session.

Built in the 1850s by the DuPont family, Bellevue Hall’s history and architectural beauty make it a perfect location for any event. Whether it’s the grand chandeliers, intricate woodwork, or beautiful staircase, every corner of this mansion offers an opportunity for a variety of stunning photographs.

John and Priscilla’s Indoor Engagement Session

When Priscilla first contacted me about scheduling an engagement session, she mentioned their interest in Bellevue Hall. I was able to connect with the event manager there to secure a date. John and Priscilla’s session was authentic, personal, and fun! The photos document and reflect their love for each other. (Oh and because it was a beautiful day, we took a few pics outside also. It’s nice to have that option for even more variety!)
