Engagement Session Prep
Your engagement session celebrates your unique relationship. This guide will help you prepare for an authentic, romantic, and fun experience.
Outfits & Styling
Coordinating Your Looks
- • Coordinate colors and vibes without matching exactly
- • Complementary color palettes (neutrals, jewel tones, pastels)
- • Both partners should feel comfortable and confident in their outfits
- • Bring 1-2 outfit changes for variety
- • Avoid large logos, busy patterns, or busy colors that distract from your faces
- • Consider the location and season when planning outfits
Hair & Makeup
- • Schedule professional hair/makeup or do what makes you feel confident
- • Hair should frame your face nicely for close-up couple shots
- • Makeup should be slightly enhanced for camera
- • Bring touch-up supplies for both partners
Location & Vibe
- • Discuss meaningful locations with your photographer
- • Where did you first meet? First date? Propose?
- • Beautiful natural settings: parks, gardens, waterfronts, hiking spots
- • Urban locations: streets, alleyways, architectural backdrops
- • Golden hour (1 hour before sunset) offers the best natural light
Before Your Session
- • Get a good night's sleep the night before
- • Eat a light meal to maintain energy
- • Arrive 15 minutes early for touch-ups and to relax
- • Discuss your vision and any special moments with your photographer
- • Communicate any concerns or ideas
What to Bring
- ✓ 1-2 additional outfit changes
- ✓ Hair and makeup touch-up supplies
- ✓ Comfortable backup shoes
- ✓ Water bottles for both of you
- ✓ Engagement ring (if it's new or important to the photos)
- ✓ Light wrap or jacket (weather dependent)
During the Session
- • I'll guide poses, but the best photos come from genuine interaction
- • Talk to each other, joke, laugh, and be yourselves
- • The camera captures real smiles and connection
- • Don't worry about feeling awkward—it's normal at first
- • By the end, you'll both be relaxed and having fun
