  1. Tips for the Perfect Engagement Photography Session

  2. Make jokes to get them to loosen up and laugh at themselves To get this to happen, I tend to make awkward jokes, after which they usually end up looking at each other and giggling. I always try to capture their reactions after my corny jokes because it almost always leads to genuine smiles. Telling your clients to whisper “sweet nothings” into each other’s ears usually leads to laughter, too. Try to speak passionately, as well; if you’re excited, the couple’s attitudes will follow.

  3. Take control of the session and be confident Give them direct instructions. Lots of people feel awkward and don’t know how to angle their body to the most flattering stance – it’s your job to communicate effectively and create images you and your clients will be proud of.

  4.  Be prepared I tend to look at some of my favorite photographer’s work before heading out. I look for inspiration and get myself thinking about where on location would each pose be best. I usually carry a list for my must-have poses, and then combine it with any the couple may want. I also carry examples of my work right on my phone. If I’m trying to pose clients a certain way and it’s just not working, I show them a sample of another photo and that usually makes it click on how they should stand. It’s always great to have references handy!

  5. Bring props I don’t like to go overboard on props for engagement shoots, but having a blanket or two can add variety to your shoot. I love using these “love” letters below, or simple glasses to capture a toast to their future together.

  6. Body connection is key Always have the couples’ bodies touching. Hands intertwined, sitting very close to each other. The closer their bodies are, the more put-together the photo can look.

  7. Encourage the couple to be affectionate I tell my clients up front that it’s totally cool if they make out in front of me! They usually get a laugh out of that!

  8. Make a point to capture a variety of images I try to always get the traditional portraits (you know, those photos that Mom & Dad want to display on their mantel), and then mix in some more editorial style photos. I’m not afraid to cut angles to create a more interesting photo. Clients hire you with the hope of looking amazing in their photos, so why not try to create a scenario where they look like they could be in a magazine.
