Home » blog » Bellevue Hall Engagement Session: Why an Indoor Session is a Great Choice

Engagement sessions are so important for couples. Under the right circumstances, it builds confidence in front of the camera and increases comfortability with your photographer. (I explain more about those points in this post) When it comes to planning these sessions, one of the most significant decisions you’ll make is the location. Today, we are going to explore the benefits of an indoor engagement session.

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.

Weather-Proof Planning

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!

Comfort and Convenience

Indoor locations offer the comfort of a controlled environment and easy access to necessities. Whether it’s a quick snack, a wardrobe change, or a sudden need for a restroom, everything is within reach.

Endless Possibilities

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.

Bellevue Hall: A Historic Venue

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!)

Wrapping Up

Planning an engagement session at an indoor location like Bellevue Hall can result in outstanding photos that capture the essence of your love and commitment. Whether it’s the charming setting, the weather-proof planning, or an important spot in your love story, an indoor engagement session has many advantages.
