5 Tips to Look (and Feel!) Amazing in Your Engagement Photos
Engagement shoots are more than just pretty pictures—they’re a celebration of your connection and a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. Here are my top five tips for couples getting ready for their shoot:
1. Dress Like You—Elevated
Wear something that reflects your personal style, but go one step up. Choose flattering colours and avoid loud logos or super busy patterns. Coordinating (not matching) is key!
2. Think About Location & Light
I always help my couples choose a location that reflects their vibe—beachy and relaxed, urban and edgy, or natural and intimate. Sunset is ideal for that soft, dreamy glow.
3. Be Playful, Not Posed
I guide you gently, but my goal is to capture your real chemistry. Run, laugh, whisper silly secrets. The best images happen when you’re just being yourselves.
4. Bring a Prop or Pet
Including your dog? A favourite blanket or bottle of bubbly? These little extras make the session even more personal and unique to your story.
5. Trust the Process
You might feel nervous at first, but give it 10 minutes—I promise you’ll forget I’m there. By the end, it’ll feel like a fun date night (with epic photos to show for it).
