Happy Thursday to you and we are dead in the middle of winter and engagements!! Maybe you just got engaged, or maybe you have been engaged for months and you are ready to schedule your engagement session with myself or your photographer. Here are some tips I send out to my clients to help it to be a better experience!
On location::
Do you love wine tasting? Working out together? Canoeing, sleeping in, walking your dog, ice skating or exploring one of Minnesota’s lakes? Add more personality to your photos by choosing the location of your session. Weather it is your favorite coffee shop, brewery, or local park where you first met, make the place be sentimental to you. Engagements sessions are the date that I become the third wheel, the tag along that photographs you and your future spouse doing the things that you love doing together.
On what to wear::
Wearing something that makes you feel confidant and comfortable are generally the photos that you naturally love. I like my clients to bring 2-3 outfit changes ranging in casual to dressy for different looks. Patterns, bold colors and accessories photograph really well. Feel free to et creative with your wardrobe or check out my Pinterest board for more inspiration.
On the length of time::
Typically I like to use these sessions a a way for my client and I to get to know each other better and feel more comfortable together so the sessions can last anywhere from one hour to two hours depending on the locations we will be going. This is the one time besides the first meeting, where I will be able to see how you as a couple interact together and you will see how I work behind the camera giving all of us a better feel of how the wedding day will be.
