Tips for Getting the Best Engagement Photos

Congratulations on your engagement! As you start planning your dream wedding, celebrating this exciting moment in time with stunning engagement photos is likely high on your list. We’ve curated some helpful tips to ensure your engagement session is just as enchanting and memorable as your love story.


Choose a Meaningful Location: Select a location that aligns with your personal aesthetic. Whether it's a cozy library, an industrial brewery, a charming neighborhood, or a serene city park, the right setting can significantly enhance your photos' appeal.


Select Appropriate Attire: Your outfits should reflect the intended narrative of the photos, be it dressy casual, or formal sophistication. Remember, comfort is key to looking and feeling your best! Opt for attire and accessories in colors that complement each other and the setting, ensuring the visuals are vibrant and harmonious.


Be Playful and Relaxed: Authentic, joyful moments are captured when you're at ease. Don't hesitate to engage in light-hearted activities if you're camera-shy. Exchange funny stories, reminisce about when you first met, or race each other to a certain point in the park, etc. and your playful moments will translate beautifully in frame!


Incorporate Props: Props can add depth and narrate your unique story. Consider items that resonate with your relationship, like fandom t-shirts, champagne glasses, picnic baskets, or witty signage!


Accessorize Boldly: Now's the time for those statement pieces you adore—be it a floral crown, chic sunglasses, or striking jewelry. They can significantly elevate the look of your photos.


Seek Out Ideal Lighting: Aim for natural lighting, particularly during the golden hour, to achieve the most flattering pictures. Indoor venues should have ample windows to mimic this effect.


Include Your Loved Ones: Pets and children, if you have any, can add a heartwarming dimension to your photos, reflecting the entire family life in your session.
