Engagement Session Tips

Engagement Sessions 101

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, it 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!

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!

1)      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.” And remember to be comfortable—for the ladies, 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.

2)      Coordinate—but don’t match: Think of coordinating color palettes, but not too matchy/matchy.

3)      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 shirt/cap from your favorite team. The more unique or significant to your relationship, the better!

4)      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.

Have fun and relax! Above all, enjoy. This is an exciting time for you as a couple—and this is just the first of many exciting steps!
