There's nothing like the summer months for outdoor engagement sessions. With the weather on it's best behavior, it's a great time of the year to get out and about and take photos! Talk about a perfect way to announce your wedding and capture a few adorable photos before your big day!

Setting up a picnic themed engagement session can be a fun and charming way to capture your time spent in front of the camera. Read on for more tips on how to achieve the look before you grab your engagement photographer. 

Setting up a picnic at your favorite park is easy with a little forethought and planning. Bring along extras to switch out and create multiple looks for your photos, and don't forget to go all out with a basket full of delicious treats! Choose a classic picnic basket to have by your side to drive the theme home. We suggest keeping it simple with a patterned or checked blanket underfoot.

For a variation on the theme, add a personalized vibe to your session with a monogrammed blanket. Get your wedding date embroidered, or bring along champagne flutes or coffee mugs to display your new status as Mr. & Mrs.

Colorful balloons, letter boards, or your favorite furry friend also make fabulous accompaniments to the setting!

We suggest going all out and experimenting with props, colors, and personalization to really bring out a unique summer vibe. Whether it’s a lush green park, sandy beach or awe-inspiring skyscraper, grab your partner and photographer and create some magical memories with amazing sun-kissed backgrounds.
