Yay! It’s officially Wedding Week! I am so excited!! I loved planning our wedding and I can’t wait to talk about it this week.
Day one is all about the Engagement session, so without further delay; here are our engagement photos.
I am finding most people are giving the same advice about how to plan your engagement session because they really are the key features to making your session great. Here’s my advice:
1. Choose a photographer you love – These photos are usually shown at your wedding, on your save the date, etc. You want them to reflect you both as a couple. Make sure you research your photographer by checking out their portfolio, or even a sit down meeting. Working in the makeup business I was able to work with our photographer many times before our session so it worked out perfectly.
2. Choose a 2-3 different locations so you have variety in your photos. Looking back, this was one of the key things that made me love our photos!
3. Choose a few different outfits that are timeless and not overly trendy. I went overboard on the outfits because I wanted a little bit of everything and didn't want any regrets.You want these photos to still reflect you in 20 years. Random pops of color make them fun too.
4. Find inspiration photos. Wedding Week is perfect for this. You want to have an idea of what you’re looking for before you get to the shoot. This will also help you plan out props if that is something you’re looking for.
4. Be confident and have fun!
This was the first photo session I had ever planned, but I knew I wanted something simple and easy! Michael and I are a low maintenance kind of couple, so why make our photo shoot high maintenance? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed our engagement pictures! Now that I’ve done this a few times, I'm already planning on our anniversary session! I’ve decided I want updated photos for every year to depict our journey as a couple. I am so excited for Wedding Week and can't wait to see all of your engagement pictures over at Just a Touch of Gray!
