Find the right Photographer
Finding the right photographer has to be one of the most essentials things you want to check off your to do list when planning your engagement session. Not only is your photographer going to be documenting your engagement session, but there the ones that are going to be telling the story of your love through their lens and style. I know with the invention of amazing sites like Pinterest & Loverly your going to want to incorporate a certain look or pose of a photograph you stumbled upon online and bring that up to your photographer. If that describes you your going to want to choose a photographer that will let you have limited control on the way you want your photos to look. Make sure you discuss this with your potential photographer beforehand because I know some photographers want to fully showcase their creativity without the need of having certain image or poses to go by. All in all whichever one you choose make sure their a perfect fit for you as a couple.

Yikes! This step can be a tough only because their is endless amount of choices to choose from. Do you want an outdoor engagement session in the place where you first met or do you want to have it inside a coffee shop where you had your first date? Whichever location you do choose make sure it reflects or has meaning. Moving onto the theme, there’s vintage, country, circus, movie themed, and the lists goes on truly the best themes are the ones that captivate the individuals being captured. Lastly style, you have to pick several outfits for the day so choose wisely according to your theme and anticipated weather of the day.

Incorporate Props
Now who doesn’t love the use of a good prop. Props are incredible effective during a wide variety of photography sessions because it adds a unique element to a photograph. Whether you use balloons with streamers, your pets, or a diy banner you designed with your wedding date be sure to get creative and bring some props.
