HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND PRE ENGAGEMENT SHOOT!!!
A few specifics and we are off to shoot engagement photos!
The best time to book is three or four
months prior to your wedding day.
~ Clothing ~
So what to wear is always the first question. Our advice, wear
what you are most comfortable in. What is your favorite outfit?
Wear that one. Whatever you are comfortable in. Be fun, funny ,
make yourself laugh. Wear clothes that compliment
eachother. Styles should go together - casual,dressy, punk..
You get the picture :) Solid colors are always good, colors that
flatter your skin tone. Stay away from bright orange and
bright red. Be sure hair and makeup is how you feel most
comfortable with. Feel beautiful. Accessorize ie... hats,
scarves,socks,shoes,ring (clean it up so its extra sparkly)
~ Theme ~
What do you as a couple want your photos to reflect? Your
personalities that make you such a great couple. Reflect your life
together. Choose something that focuses on your uniqueness.
A vintage feel is always fun or even a " for better for worse"
shoot is always a blast.
~ Props ~
We love props! They add something fun to your photos.
It helps to reflect a creative aspect. What
about some of these cool ideas? Vintage props
bicycles - balloons - roller skates - umbrella's
hats - socks - suitcase - Vintage car - picnic basket
fishing poles - pogo sticks - frisbee - horse
(large props are great too! lol) your pet
