Do we even need to have engagement photos?
A lot of people struggle with if they even need engagement photos at all. I’m here to tell you that while not everyone feels like they “need” engagement photos I have never had a couple regret taking them.
Want to know why?
Because your engagement photos can reflect on your relationship as it is right now, in this moment in time, before life continues to roll on for the two of you. The only constant in life is that things change. The things we do together in our 20’s and 30’s may not be the same things we like, or have time to do together in our 40’s and 50’s. That is why choosing to have an engagement session done that really reflects your relationship as it is when you decided to embark on the big life milestone of marriage is such a gift! You will be able to look back on those engagement photos in the future and see the people you were when you fell in love.
How do you decide the best location for your engagement session?
Choosing the perfect location for your engagement session really depends on who the two of you are. Like I stated above, the best thing about engagement photos is that they showcase who you two are at this moment in time. So think about it. What is important to you both in your relationship? Is there something that you like to do together? Can you think of the best date that you two have ever had? Can we combine any of these actives into a shoot? You’d be surprised!
The answers to those questions can really help you narrow in on what the best location will be for your session. Additionally, your photographer (especially one with local expertise in the area) can help you nail down a spot that fits with your vision.
