Planning for Your Perfect Engagement Session
Your engagement season is a time of joy, planning, special moments, budgets, crazy ideas and lasting memories. We love capturing this carefree time of your life which is why we’ve included it in our Perfect Package bundle.
But how do you go about planning your engagement session?
We are here to help! We have photographed countless couples in various locations all throughout Central Florida for their engagement session.
To start, we set up a time to speak over the phone and get an idea of what kind of vibe or aesthetic you’re looking for in your session. Some couples already have an idea in mind and others are open to whatever we suggest. We usually ask for information on the theme for the wedding as many couples like to use their engagement photos for their save-the-dates or wedding invitations. For example, if a couple is having a destination wedding in a tropical location, we might suggest a beach session at New Smyrna Beach.
The Orlando area has so many great locations no matter what your theme is, from beautiful gardens, to historical architecture and rustic scenery.
But what are we going to wear?
Keep the focus on you and not your clothes!
We usually advise couples to choose neutral, complementing colors. The goal is for the focus to be on you and not necessarily what you are wearing. Consider the location for your session. If you’re going to be in an open field, stay away from bold colors like black or a deep red. Whereas if you’re in an urban city or an indoor hotel, a black suit or a dramatic dress would be perfect.
Try not to deviate too extremely from your typical everyday style. So if you’re comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt, a casual dress for the bride and khakis for the groom is a good idea. If fashion is your thing, go all out for a luxury look! When you look back at your photos, you want to be able to recognize yourself.
Yes, you can bring multiple outfits! We try to find locations where there is a bathroom or place to change. That’s not always the case, so we will let you know if a changing room isn’t available in advance.
How to get those romantic photos?
So, we’ve made it to a romantic location, the light is perfect, your hair is amazing, your nails are on point - now how do we get those romantic photos you’ve been hoping for? We have you covered! We do our best to help pose our couples or give them prompts to get the photos that best capture your relationship. The best thing you can do is relax and have fun with your fiancee! Our best sessions are when our couples goof off, play, laugh and just enjoy being together. Think of this as a carefree date night with your new photographer bestie hanging around capturing all the fun!
