Engagement Photoshoot Tips:

Your engagement session is the perfect chance to slow down and celebrate this exciting chapter in your love story. If it’s your first time having professional photos taken—don’t worry! I’ll guide you every step of the way so it feels natural and effortless. As your trusted New York elopement and wedding photographer, I offer engagement photo tips to help you plan everything from what to wear for engagement photos to choosing meaningful locations and props like champagne or your pup. By the end, you’ll forget there was even a camera around- and you’ll leave with gorgeous photos and memories of a great time.

What to Wear for Engagement Photos

– Stick to soft neutrals, earthy tones, and textures that complement each other
– Choose outfits you can move in and feel confident and comfortable wearing
– Bring a second outfit if you want variety! One outfit can be formal and the second outfit can be more casual. This is more common when couples choose a second location

Location Ideas

– Scenic overlooks at golden hour
– The beach or a quiet park
– Your favorite coffee shop, trail, or where you had your first date

Fun Props & Personal Touches

– Champagne to pop and celebrate
– Your dog (yes, bring your fur baby!)
– A cozy blanket, your favorite coffee mugs, or even a picnic basket

The little details are what make your session feel personal
