Your engagement photos are a great way to set the tone for your wedding day and show off your personalities. Here are five tips to help make your engagement session the best it can be!
1) Schedule at the right time of day:
The perfect lighting goes a long way to help making the perfect portrait. The best light of the day is during what photographers call “the golden hour” which is during the last hour of sunset. If at all possible schedule your engagement session during this time to get that dreamy golden light.
2) Think outside the box:
To give your engagement photos a ‘wow’ factor - try including an activity or theme. This lets you dream big and gives you something fun and memorable to do that guarantees a good time. Think hot air balloon ride or renting a muscle car or playing your favorite sport together or even go sailing… the sky’s the limit!
3) Practice makes perfect:
Your E-session is a perfect time to see how you two respond in front of the camera and practice feeling comfortable having your picture taken. Not only will you feel more at home in front of the lens but you’ll be able to build a rapport with your photographer so that you will all feel like old friends come the weddings day.
4) Pose it perfect:
The most important thing about posing is to keep a straight spine. (Yes, just like your 3rd grade teacher said “Sit up straight!) Also try to remember to drop your shoulders and maintain a nice long neck.
5) Confidence is key:
Last tip is the most important - be relaxed and confident. If you two are a having a good time that will transfer that feeling to the images. Just have a good time loving on each other and playing around. PDA is good; which can also help loosen up your man.
Wishing you a wonderful engagement session!
Love, Rachel!
