A lot of photographers, including myself, will offer complimentary engagement sessions when you purchase a wedding photography package. Lots of couples use the photos from their complimentary session for the save the dates or as decoration for the wedding day. While your engagement session can be a super fun time, preparing for it, however, can be a little confusing and, dare I say, stressful. Here are some ways to make the most out of your engagement session:Â
1. Check out the engagement location before your session. This will help you visualize where you will be taking photos. Understanding your surroundings and getting a lay of the land can be really inspiring in terms of wardrobe selection.Â

2. This leads me to my next point. Ask your photographer for a STYLING GUIDE. Your photographer will know what colors/style will compliment the surrounding area or background. Personally I like to provide a Pinterest board of colors and styles that I believe will work best for my engagement sessions. I always ask that my couples avoid wearing bright/bold colors and patterned clothing. This is will help steer you in the right direction when it’s time to choose your engagement session outfit.
3. If you are hiring a MUA for your wedding day, I would recommend having your trial run the day of your session. This way you don’t have to worry about applying your own makeup for your session but also it’s a sneak peek of what your makeup will look like for your wedding day! If you have not chosen a MUA, ask your photographer for suggestions. We work with tons of MUA and would be happy to share our preferred vendors.
