We love engagement sessions, certainly for capturing photos of the two of you but also a great chance to get to know your photographer. It allows you to relax and build a relationship with your photographer.
1. Preparation
Go through all the details, get your hair and makeup done. Make sure you have everything together the day before and make sure everything is pressed and lint free.
2. Go shopping
Get a new blouse, shirt, or skirt, make sure your wardrobe does not clash with each other. You want your outfits to compliment each other but not matchy, matchy. Bring a change of clothes, have something fun and something formal.
3. Relax
Don’t fret over not knowing what to do. A big reason behind doing engagements is to help coach you through poses and get you comfortable in front of the camera. Connect with each other, holding hands, nuzzling and going in for a kiss is a great way to connect with each other.
4. Set the scene
Select locations that mean something to you both. Are you an adventurous couple that likes to go hiking or exploring, set the scene in the countryside or state park….like spending your time in the city on dates or walking around the city, head to the concrete jungle! Whatever it is that you like doing, incorporate that somehow into the location for pictures.
5. Make plans for afterwards
You’ve gotten all dressed up, make plans to go out. Go out and have some fun!
