Choose a meaningful place
Consider where you had your first date, a neighborhood you love, a favorite park, or a city backdrop that feels like home.
Coordinate rather than match
Choose two or three complementary colors and outfits that feel like yourselves. Simple textures and comfortable shoes can make moving around easier.
Plan around the light
Early morning and late afternoon often offer softer light outdoors. Your photographer can help choose a time that works with the location and season.
Bring something to do together
Walk, share a coffee, listen to a favorite song, or talk about how you met. Small activities help create natural moments without relying on stiff poses.
Think ahead about how you will use the photos
Engagement photographs can be used for save-the-dates, a wedding website, a guest book, or framed prints. Let your photographer know if you have a particular use in mind.
