Your engagement session is a great opportunity to see how you photograph together before the big day. Let’s chat, because I know of so many great locations for your Westchester Engagement Photography session. Sure, you have plenty of holiday photos, selfies, and your own #coupleinlove hashtag! However, professional photography is much more involved, we have lighting, really sharp lenses, special poses, and skills in the art of making people look great!
Here are some tips to consider before your Westchester engagement photography session.
A Practice Shoot For Your Wedding Day
1. Treat it like your practice shoot for the wedding day. We usually visit a local park that you may take your wedding portraits at for the engagement session. We explore the area, lighting conditions, time of year and plan on some great photos together. During the engagement session you will be guided through a variety of poses that may or may not work for you. You will be able to see how the different poses create angles and curves that make you look great! Also, a good chance to practice your favorite Pinned poses and see if they work for you as a couple.
What To Wear For Your Westchester Engagement Photo Session
2. Style your wardrobe in a way that fits your personalities. If you normally wouldn’t be caught dead in a sundress, don’t wear one to your session. Embrace your ripped jeans and leather jacket or whatever clothes make you feel your best. Take a look at the past engagement shoots on our wedding page to see what other couples wear for ideas.
Plan A Wedding Day Makeup Trial
3. Have a makeup trial done on the day of the session if possible. You will be able to see how the makeup looks on you in photos, afterwards, you can make any needed changes for the wedding day.
Photo Decor And Print Products After The Shoot
4. Most couples order photo products after the session, you will be able to view the images and select your favorites. You can create Save The Date Cards, Guest Signature Books and even wall canvases for the card table at the venue. Many printed options are available from these great photos, we also put them on the big screen at the reception if you work it out with your entertainment company.
Bring your props, banners, and even pets to your photo shoot
5. Props, signs and other decor can be used for your photo shoot. If your wedding day has a theme this would be a great way to prepare your guests before the wedding.
We will always guide and direct you in the engagement shoot process, we will suggest locations, clothing ideas, and a stylist or two if you need one.
