How to Plan the Perfect Engagement Session

Congratulations on your engagement! Now it's time to capture the excitement of this special time with a perfect engagement session. In this blog post, I'll share some tips on how to plan a fun and memorable photo shoot.

Choose the Right Location

The location sets the mood for your photos and should reflect your style and personalities. If you're unsure about where to go, I'm happy to make recommendations on the best locations for your engagement session. Check out my past blog posts where I share my favorite locations in Dayton and in Cincinnati.

When selecting a location, consider the time of year and weather conditions. Keep in mind that the location should have good lighting for the best results.

Pick the Perfect Outfits

Selecting the perfect outfit can be a challenge, but it's important to choose clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Consider your location and choose colors that will complement the surroundings. Avoid busy patterns and bright colors, especially green or yellow tones that can reflect unwanted color casts back onto the skin.

It's also a good idea to coordinate your outfits with your partner's. You shouldn’t match exactly, but try to choose outfits that complement each other. Using a color palette can help with this.

Personalize with Props

Adding props to your engagement session can make your photos more personal and unique. Consider bringing items that have special meaning to you both, such as champagne or confetti, or something you like to do together.

Relax and Have Fun

The most important part of an engagement session is to relax and have fun. Don't worry about posing perfectly or being too serious. Laugh, dance, and enjoy the moment with your partner. I'll be there to capture all the special moments.

In conclusion, an engagement session is a fun and memorable way to capture the excitement of this special time in your life. With the right location, outfits, and props, you can create beautiful and personalized photos that you will treasure forever. Contact me today to schedule your engagement session!
