Welcome

First, congratulations on your engagement!

Your engagement session is all about celebrating this exciting season of your life. The goal is to create authentic, joyful images that reflect your relationship and personalities. This guide will help you feel confident and prepared for your session.

 

Getting Ready for Your Engagement Session

Choosing Your Outfits

 

Coordinate, Don't Match

Choose outfits that complement each other rather than wearing identical colors.


Colors That Photograph Beautifully

Neutrals

Soft earth tones

Dusty blues

Sage greens

Creams

Soft pinks

Warm browns


Avoid

Neon colors

Large logos

Busy patterns

Athletic wear (unless it fits your session style)


Bring a Second Outfit

If your package allows, consider bringing:

One casual look

One dressier look

This adds variety to your final gallery

 

 

Hair & Makeup

Professional hair and makeup are highly recommended but not required.

Tips:

Schedule any hair color appointments 1–2 weeks before your session.

Avoid trying a brand-new hairstyle.

Choose makeup that feels like you, just slightly more polished.

Bring lip gloss, powder, and a brush for touch-ups.

 

 

Ring Preparation

Your engagement ring will likely be featured in several photos.

Before your session:

Have it professionally cleaned.

Or clean it at home the night before.

A sparkling ring makes a noticeable difference in close-up images.

 

 

Groom Tips

Fresh haircut 1–2 weeks before the session.

Trim facial hair if applicable.

Empty pockets before photos.

Wear clean, wrinkle-free clothing.

 

 

What to Bring

Water

Comfortable walking shoes

Touch-up makeup

Ring box

Jacket or blanket (cool weather)
