How to Prepare for Your Engagement Photo Session

Your engagement photo session is a special opportunity to celebrate your love and capture the excitement of this new chapter in your life. To help you make the most of it, here are some tips to ensure your session is stress-free and full of joy:


1. Choose the Right Outfit

Select outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Coordinating colors work beautifully, but avoid being too matchy-matchy. Soft, neutral tones or classic patterns are timeless choices. Remember to consider the location when planning your wardrobe.



2. Plan Around the Best Light

The time of day can significantly impact your photos. I recommend scheduling your session during the golden hour—shortly after sunrise or before sunset—for soft, flattering lighting.


3. Bring Personal Touches

Incorporate items that reflect your relationship, such as a favorite book, a picnic setup, or even your pet! These personal touches add a unique and meaningful element to your photos.


4. Relax and Have Fun

Don’t worry about being perfect. The best photos often come from candid moments when you’re simply enjoying each other’s company. Trust your photographer (that’s me!) to guide you through poses and capture your genuine connection.

5. Communicate Your Vision

If you have specific ideas or inspirations for your session, let me know! Sharing a Pinterest board or examples of what you like can help us plan a session that aligns with your vision.


Your engagement session is more than just a photoshoot; it’s a celebration of your journey together. Let’s create images that reflect your unique love story and set the tone for your wedding day!
