TIPS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE TAKING YOUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS

An engagement shoot is the culmination of an eventual digital photo album of you and your spouse during one of the happiest times of your relationship, allowing you to get comfortable in front of the camera, and while having fun, preparing the both of you for your wedding day. It's important to look and feel your best on the day of your session and thats why I put together some tips along with a few of my favorite dress shops, to help you prepare for your engagement session.

1. Choose a location that is meaningful to you as individuals and as a couple, what most represents you and your relationship.

2. Consider getting hair and makeup professionally done.

3. Be on time for your shoot

4. Be comfortable in your outfit

5. Look for images you love on Pinterest. Plan for a general idea but let things happen naturally.
