Engagement Photos


Why are engagement photos important? First of all if you are shy or haven't been in front of a camera much this is the best way to get comfortable. If don't have much experience posing for photos, or just opening a lot of time with a camera following you, this is the best opportunity to get used to before your wedding day. I personally think photos are the most important part from any important celebration. unlike cakes, expensive flowers or temporary make up they will stay with you forever. You will not only look back at your elopement pictures for a while after you receive your gallery (yay, that day is exciting!), but in a year and ten years later. You will remember your amazing adventure step by step as it was happening. Often couples are so overwhelmed by how much is going on they don't have much recollection of the wedding day...till they receive their photos.

By hiring an elopement photographer do your engagement photos you're going to see if you are a good for your big day. The chemistry with a photographer is so important. It's very likely you'll be spending the majority of your elopement day together, so the comfort level and overall vibe is crucial. By doing engagement photos you not only find out if you like them as a person, you like the final edited gallery but also you build that trust and comfort that's s important.

Another reason why engagement photos are important is the obvious..They will be the reminder of how exciting you both felt to make the decision to be together forever. Not to mention one day you'll look back and realize you were happy and beautiful together.

What to Wear for Engagement Photos


This is really up to you. Many couples choose to wear more casual clothes such as jeans, shirts or dresses. You want to be comfortable but also look cute. I always recommend avoid wearing plain white or black clothes, anything that will blend with the background (green on green etc), no abstract patterns or stripes. Natural, pastel colors are best but a little contrast with the landscape is also a good idea. Feel free to bring hats, but avoid sunglasses. Check out some inspiration below.

How to Be Comfortable in Front of the Camera


That's a hard one if you're shy or a little bit awkward. Ironically as much as I love taking photos of others, I hate photos taken of me. So I understand. The best advice I give my clients is just enjoy the moment, be yourselves, bring your favorite playlist, pretend I am not there. One of my strengths is making people comfortable so I'll do my best to help you relax and just have fun with it.

So are you ready?
