sealed with a promise and a ring

The fairytale engagement session
Auckland, New Zealand & beyond

I found him whom my soul loves.

Song of Solomon 3:4

what makes your engagement session so special?

Why, it’s you, of course. I firmly believe that everyone is different, your story is different to the next couple, so why should I treat every engagement session the same?

Not only is an engagement session the perfect way for us to get to know each other before your wedding day, we will also design the day how you’d normally organise a date — very you.

We make a day of it. I don’t believe in “just getting the photos over with,” we’re going to take our time. Whether we stick to the classic beach sunset, or we go bowling, or eat at your favourite restaurant, or go on a hike to the spot you got engaged, or even have a cosy night in at your place — sky’s the limit. There are no bad ideas. There are no time limits.

Engagement / Pre-Wedding Session

Pull out all the stops and elevate your favourite date. If the thought of spending hours with a photographer intimidates you, don’t worry. We will become fast friends 🫶🏼

Optional Add-ons

My fiancé and I recently had our engagement shoot with Jille on top of Mt. Wellington, and our experience was truly amazing. Jille was so patient and super bubbly. An amazing person to work with, especially when we were a bit nervous at the start. She helped us out of our shell and just to simply be ourselves. The photos came out so beautiful, she truly captured our love story. I still keep looking at the photos 🥹, it is something we will cherish forever and has us so excited to be on this next journey! Thank you so much again! ❤️

Questions

A lot of my work is inspired by drama and cinematography. Apart from the way I shoot, my editing is also a crucial step in the process of storytelling and bringing out the emotion in every image. This is what makes my style ‘cinematic’.
Don’t worry, I am the exact same — and most people are on the same boat. That’s why I prioritise movement and candid moments to keep things natural and help you stay focused on your love for each other, opposed to giving you “traditional” poses. Just pretend I’m invisible :)
Within 3 weeks, maybe sooner if outside wedding season (colder months).
YES absolutely. Email me at hello@reinajille.com with your thoughts.
I personally don’t mind an overcast sky or even a misty shower as they would make for some great moody photos, but if the weather’s taking a turn for the worse, we’ll reschedule and find another day that suits.
Too easy. You enquire through the form below, we hop on a quick call to make sure we’re a good fit, then we lock it all in with a paid deposit.
Please note I don’t pencil-hold dates, I give priority to those who have gone through the booking process, so I recommend reaching out as soon as you can.
