Embarking on the journey towards marriage is a beautiful and exciting time, and what better way to celebrate this chapter than with a heartfelt engagement session? Whether you’re camera-shy or a natural poser, preparing for your engagement photoshoot is a key step to ensure those candid, romantic moments are beautifully captured. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to make your engagement session a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Choose the Right Location: Selecting the perfect backdrop for your engagement photos is crucial. I always tell my couple to give me the type of vibe they are wanting for their engagement session. Are you wanting downtown, fun walls like the plaza district or more outdoor vibes. I have many locations that I suggest to my couples so you do NOT have to worry about looking for locations, I got you covered!

Outfits: While you don’t need to match perfectly, coordinating your outfits ensures a cohesive and visually appealing look. Choose colors that complement each other and the chosen location. Soft, neutral tones or pastels often work well, but feel free to inject your personalities through accessories or pops of color.

Hair and Makeup: I always recommend if possible to schedule your hair and makeup trial on the same day as your engagement session. Hair and makeup play a huge part in photos so I highly recommend getting it professionally done! Here are some amazing hair and makeup stylists I personally have used and love.

Relax and Enjoy the Moment: Lastly, remember that your engagement session is about celebrating your love. Trust me, relax, and enjoy the moment. The more authentic and comfortable you feel, the more stunning and heartfelt your engagement photos will be.
