ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS ARE EXCITING TIME IN YOUR LIFE!
As a bride-to-be, planning your wedding day is an exciting and momentous time in your life. The anticipation of the big day, the dresses, the flowers, the décor – every detail matters! But before we get into that, let’s talk about one of the most delightful first steps in the wedding planning process: the engagement photos!
Engagement love stories are all about adventure, and what better way to capture that than with a beautiful and timeless set of engagement photos? Whether you opt for a formal or a lifestyle shoot, the imagery is essential in capturing the essence of your unique love story.
As you start to plan your engagement shoot, remember to focus on the things that are important to you and your soon-to-be spouse. Think about what you love to do together; maybe it’s hiking, cooking, going to the beach, or just snuggling up for a movie night. Whatever it may be, incorporating that into your engagement shoot can help to bring a more authentic and intimate feel to your photos.
Remember that your engagement pictures should be a reflection of who you are as a couple, and what makes you unique. The love that you have for each other is what makes your story so unique, and capturing that love in photos is something that you will cherish for a lifetime.
So, let’s talk about the emotions you may be feeling right now. It’s natural to be excited, nervous, and full of anticipation all at once. This is an unforgettable moment in your life, and you want everything to be perfect. Take the time to enjoy this special time in your relationship, and let the excitement of getting engaged carry you forward.
Here are 3 reasons to have an Engagement Shoot.
Number One – Be Adventurous
Engagement sessions only take a short amount of time due to wedding planning, but they’re totally worth it! Nowadays, most couples are realising the value of trying something new and going to unique destinations. Don’t forget to get dressed up in stylish outfits, and make it a date day!
You’re in control of how you want to capture your love story in these photos. You can have fun, be adventurous, and keep it romantic – it’s entirely up to you. The best part is that it will just be the two of you having a great time during the shoot, building up the excitement for your wedding day.
Number Two – Trail your makeup artist
Hey, there makeup and hair lovers!
If there was ever a time to trial your makeup and hair stylist, it’s now. Engagements are the perfect opportunity to scope out your glam squad and see how they work their magic. You’ll want to get a feel for their style, professionalism, and how they interact with you. Plus, it’s always nice to get to know the people who will be making you look fabulous on your big day!
Now, don’t stress if you don’t plan on having the same hairstyle for your engagement shoot and wedding day. The important thing is that you know your stylist can handle everyone’s hair and will be punctual on the day. You don’t want your hair and makeup running late and adding unnecessary stress to your wedding morning.
So, take advantage of this time and book a trial run with your makeup and hair stylist. You’ll thank yourself when you have a seamless and stunning wedding day look.
Cheers to beautiful hair and flawless makeup!
Number Three – Know how your photographer will work on the day!
An engagement shoot is a fantastic opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera. Many of us feel a little awkward when it comes to having our photo taken, but an engagement shoot is the perfect practice run. You’ll get to know your photographer, and you’ll get used to posing and being in front of the lens. This will make the big day go much smoother, and you’ll feel more relaxed and comfortable on the day.
Another great reason to have an engagement shoot is to get some beautiful, natural photos of you and your fiancé. You’ll probably be taking lots of posed and candid photos on the day itself, but an engagement shoot gives you the chance to capture some fun moments. Whether you’re laughing, cuddling, or just walking hand in hand, your photographer will be able to capture some truly beautiful snapshots of your love story.
