you & your lover wanna look good on those invites, here are our top 5 tips for a stress-free engagement session!
tip #1: When in doubt, feel it out
Yes! Remember that you and your partner are in this one TOGETHER! These photos should reflect the way you feel about eachother, and our biggest piece of advice is to always have at least 1 point of contact. We will provide you with poses to try, but you want to feel as COMFY as possible! So give your partner a lil hand hold & a few pecks - we will be highly encouraging as well hahah!
TIP #2: colors, patterns, matching, oh my!
One thing we often tell our clients, is that light-bright clothing will help create the light-bright photos you are looking for! Avoid wearing lots of black or dark reds, as they can turn into a black hole in the photos. Similarly, patterns that are too busy can cause distraction, so keep the fits simple & comfortable! Coordination is key, not too matchy/identical (unless that's the vibe you want). Wear something that you will wear again and again!
tip # 3: LOCATION
We recommend that you either pick a meaningful location or ask us for suggestions. If you have a special spot in mind - your favorite walking path, a first date location - let us know & we will make it happen! Run it by us and we will scout it out, get some ideas, and make sure if there are any necessary permissions for photography.
Tip #4: photo shy? Nervous? take a deep breath.
Don't worry, we get it (truly, we are very photo shy people as well believe it or not). We want you to focus on having fun, smiling & giggling, and enjoying time with your partner! Our job is to do our best at making it feel easy & helping you feel beautiful - both through the lens and irl.
Tip #5: Get in the mood
Grab your favorite snack or drink with your fiancé before the shoot! Listen to your favorite songs on the way over (here are some of our go to chill love songs) share some of your favorite memories together - and relax those shoulders. We can't wait to see you!
