Personalizing your engagement session

There are a lot of different aspects to think about when planning your engagement session. Where to go, what to wear, how not to look mad in serious photos, etc… What we find is the more we can personalize the engagement session, the better is goes. Below are a few ways to help the session have a more personal touch.

1.) Locations: Locations that have some kind of meaning, ex: First date, Common Interests, etc.. are a great place to start. You might of had your first date at a library, and although that might not sound like a great location, a good photographer will make it fun.

2.) Props : Books, Popcorn, Helmets? Much like locations, you want to think about things you do together: how you met, the proposal, and any other key halmarks of your relationship. One couple I had rode their mopeds to church on sundays so I said “Lets bring those mopeds!” and they did. :)

3.) Relax: The most personalized aspect of your session is of course, your personalities. The more you are able to relax and have fun, the more your personalities will shine though.

Below are a few examples of engagement sessions where we worked with our couples to make their session more personalized.

Enjoy!
