Engagement Sessions are a photo session that lasts about one hour between a couple prior to their wedding date. Engagement sessions can capture warm and intimate moments shared by the couple. Many times engagement sessions are done at a location that means something special to the couple. They often are photographed doing something that they actually enjoy. Some ideas are picnics, biking, hiking, sport themes to name a few. Often times a local park can be used, a downtown metro setting or even fun at the ocean. I did one of my favorite engagement sessions at the Connecticut shore recently. The images were awesome and authentic, because the couple was actually engaged at this state park. Engagement sessions are a fun stress free time and authentic romantic expressions are easy to achieve. Pets can be a great addition to a couple’s engagement session. Many options appear when pets or other meaningful props are used. A special or classic car can make an awesome addition to your engagement session. Many things mean so much to a couple and with some communication between the photographer and the couple can yield spectacular results. We as photographers love to hear different ideas from our couples and try to incorporate them into the session. We have found Pinterest to be an endless supply of creative and fresh ideas for engagement sessions. There are many ideas and easy to make props to express a couples feelings of love as well as save the date ideas. A couple recently made their own save the date prop and brought it to their engagement session at Yankee Candle. It made some of the photos very unique to the couple. Engagement ring shots are also a favorite photo during an engagement session. A photo of an engagement ring on a pumpkin or on a pine cone is a few ideas. Autumn leaves also make a good accent for your ring. The ideas are endless and are only limited to the imagination.
