What to expect at your engagement session

Your engagement photo session is a milestone and typically a watermark moment  in your journey to your forever. Capturing the love and excitement between you and your partner during this special time is the sole purpose of your engagement photo session. To ensure your photos are what dreams are made of we have curated some valuable tips for a flawless engagement photo session. 

Location

Choosing a picturesque or meaningful location that reflects your personalities and tells parts of your love story can bring more significance to enhance the overall essence of your photos. For example choosing where you first met, your favorite park or a stunning beach that compliments your vibe as a couple and your love story will complete the unique connection to your photos. 

Dress Like You 

Wear clothing that you both feel comfortable and confident in. Picking outfits that complement each other but aren’t too matchy-matchy is ideal. Soft neutral colors are a crowd favorite but if you are a lover of color then we encourage you to wear what makes your hearts happy. Always plan a second outfit to add variety and gives you more photo opportunities. 

But What Time is Best? 

Planning the right time of day depends of the type of photos you are wanting, most photographers prefer to shoot within flattering natural light which mainly means soft light, early mornings or late afternoon, provide perfect times to capture soft complementing lighting choices, this is also where you hear the phrase “golden hour”. 

Have Fun With It

Relaxing into the moment and deciding to have fun with the photo session will reflect your true personalities and love you share. Embracing the joy and excitement and letting your natural interactions shine through will create amazing photo moments. Letting go and having fun will create your dream photos. 

Your engagement session is a delightful opportunity to capture your love and excitement in a timeless manner! Location, communication and dressing as you will allow you to relax and enjoy your photo session which will create memories to look back on for a lifetime.
