Capturing those happy moments when you have first decided to get married is such a special time! You might want to book an engagement session photoshoot to create some amazing memories for yourselves, or, perhaps, you want to make your engagement announcements the best they can be. Whatever your reasons may be for booking an engagement photoshoot, here are some tips to ensure you nail those engagement photos.

1. GET THAT GREAT RING SHOT!

Within your set of photos, you will definitely want a shot of your gorgeous engagement ring. A holding hands pose and a proposal pose are two great ways to capture the essence of the engagement and showcase that beautiful ring.  

 

2. BRING ALONG SIGNS

A chalkboard or a written sign are a beautiful way to give details in your photos. You can use a prop from home or one of the photographer’s own.   

3. LOVE THE CLOSE UPS!

It’s all about the happy couple, so try to convey that natural happiness. Close ups of you looking at each other, kissing and laughing are all great moments for your engagement photographs. As awkward as it may feel in the moment, these are photos you are sure to cherish later on! A great engagement photographer will direct these poses for you.  

4. DRESS TO IMPRESS!

Choose your outfit carefully and be mindful of the location of the shoot, too. Neutral and complementary shades are usually best. Avoid logos or wording that will distract from the people in the photo. If you book with me, you will receive a style guide before the shoot.    

5. BE RELAXED AND BE YOURSELVES!

You will keep these photos forever, and possibly have them hanging around your home. You want to make sure your personality shines through. It can be hard when you’re not used to having your picture taken but we will be sure to have fun and get some natural laughs and moments!
