Now that Engagement/Proposal Season has simmered down, there are a ton of couples looking to schedule their official engagement portraits. If you are one of those couples, then here are three questions you should ask yourself before booking your session:
1. Do we want an outdoor or indoor session?Â
This is to help you decide on if you want a photographer that specializes in studio portraits or a photographer that specializes in doing portraits in a natural outdoor setting.
2. Are we going for a casual, cultural, or formal vibe for the attire?Â
Knowing what you plan on wearing before you book your session can help you narrow down a location very quickly. Some locations may be best for casual attire while others are perfect for a more grand/formal wardrobe. If you plan on doing both casual and formal, then there are locations perfect for that as well!
3. What season are we looking to have our session?
The seasons will impact the look of your photos dramatically. A spring session will highlight the pastel colors of the blooming flowers, while a fall session will emphasize the warm tones of the changing of the leaves. This is SUPER important!
If you have answered all three of these questions, then you are in pretty good shape for your engagement session! I hope this helps and don’t forget to ENJOY the engagement journey :)
