Engagement Session Tips
Engagement sessions are great for many reasons! Not only do they capture this incredibly special time in your relationship and provide you with images you’ll treasure forever, but it also gives you a chance to work with us prior to the big day—and takes a lot of unnecessary stress out of the wedding shots!
As the bride, your engagement session will be an easy, fun and casual experience. But to maximize your time, here’s a few quick tips to get the most out of your session—enjoy!
Bring two or three outfits
If you’re having a hard time choosing, bring more and ask for our input once we get “on set.” Steer clear of black tops and dresses, which don’t look as great in the light as brighter tones. And remember to be comfortable -- your engagement session isn’t the time to try out those high heels or too-tight pencil skirts. The more comfortable and flexible you are, the better your photos will look.
Coordinate - but don’t match
Think coordinating color palettes, but not matchy/matchy. Too much contrast (i.e. you in white, him in black) can overwhelm a picture.
Think props
Have something special that has lots of significance in your relationship? It could be a quilt, a piece of jewelry, a vintage book, or even something fun like a baseball shirts/caps from your favorite team. The more unique to your relationship, the better!
Check out Pinterest
Pinterest is a great spot for engagement session inspiration. While we can definitely help, it’s great to come in with ideas you can easily share—so pin away and share your faves with us ahead of time so we can prep.
