As a photographer, I have been fortunate enough to capture countless love stories through my lens. One of my favorite parts of the journey is the pre-wedding engagement session. This is a special time for you as a couple, and for me as your photographer, to get to know each other, and create some magical moments before the big day.

 

Outfit Choices: What you wear for your engagement photos can greatly enhance the overall look and feel of the images. You want to feel confident and comfortable, but also photogenic. I recommend choosing outfits that reflect your personalities and style. Remember, these photos are about you two and your love story, so make sure your outfits reflect that. You can never go wrong with neutral colors and avoiding overly busy patterns. And don't forget to make sure your outfits complement each other without being overly matchy-matchy.

 

Selecting Locations: The location of your engagement session can add a unique flavor to your photos. Consider places that are meaningful to you as a couple – where you first met, where he proposed, or maybe a place you love to visit together. Outdoor locations with natural light are always a great choice. Parks, the beach, or even a cityscape can provide a beautiful backdrop for your photos. However, don’t be afraid to think outside the box. If you both love coffee, why not shoot in a quaint café?

 

Posing Ideas: Posing for photos can be a bit daunting, but don't worry, I'm here to guide you through it. The key to great engagement photos is to look natural and show your love for each other. I always encourage my couples to interact with each other as they normally would. Hold hands, share a laugh, steal a kiss – these are the moments that capture the essence of your relationship. I might give you some guidance on where to stand or how to hold each other, but mostly I want you to be yourselves.

 

Remember, this session is not just about beautiful photos, it’s also about having fun and creating memories together. It's a chance for you both to relax, have fun, and enjoy each other's company in a beautiful setting. So, take a deep breath, keep an open mind, and let's create some magic together. I'm excited to be part of your journey and can't wait to capture your love story through my lens.

 

Remember, this is your time to shine. So, embrace the moment, trust your photographer, and most importantly, have fun. After all, these photos will be cherished memories of your pre-wedding days that you will look back on for many years to come. I look forward to our session together and capturing your love in a way that you can cherish forever.
