ENGAGEMENT SEASON IS IN FULL SWING! 💍
Here are a few things to consider when approaching your engagement portrait session:
💍 Are you interested in this photographer to shoot your wedding as well? If so, doing your engagement session with them gives you a preview into how they work and makes you more comfortable on the wedding day. Some wedding photographers even include a complimentary engagement session with their packages, which may save you a little $ by thinking big picture.
💍 Choose a location that feels like home - or shoot in the comfort of your actual home! Make sure you feel a connection to your space, whether it’s your favorite date night spot, an iconic location in your city or a beautiful spot you two pass regularly that always grabs your attention. Remember: a sunrise session is most ideal to feel like you have a public space all to yourself.
💍 Let the season inspire your aesthetic and outfit choices. Be sure to opt for outfits that complement each other without matching too much. Let your personalities shine through with your selections, avoiding competing patterns. Above all your want to be comfortable in seasonally appropriate attire and feel like yourselves.
💍 Time the session based on your desired vibe and lighting – golden hour always adds a dreamy touch. Your photographer will help you determine the time that makes the most sense given the time of year, location, etc.
💍 Let it feel like a date by build your session around an activity. Grabbing coffee, a drink, a slice of pizza or an ice cream cone can make for a super fun session that allows you to think less about being in front of a camera and more about sharing intimate space and joy with your fiancé. Activities like mini golf, a picnic or a visit to your favorite museum or attraction are great ways to ensure a fun session. Always opt for more personal over generic and remember recreating your first date can be a super fun walk down memory lane!
