5 Tips for a Successful Engagement Photoshoot – Philadelphia & Harrisburg PA
So, you’ve attended several weddings this summer and it’s now your turn to plan your wedding, starting with the engagement photo shoot. Whether its photographs for the save the date or a collection of storytelling images for your guest book, we’ve got tips to help you nail your engagement shoot. Here are 5 Tips for a Successful Engagement Photoshoot – Philadelphia & Harrisburg PA. We have photographed weddings at Harrisburg Capitol as well as engagement sessions.
-
Choose a memorable location.
Think about what you two value as a couple. What kind of scenery resonates with you? Is it a place you both frequent? Is it a place where you met? Shared your first date? Don’t just pick a random location. Put some thought into it, as these photographs will be with you forever. Why not choose a memorable location?
-
Wear comfortable clothing.
You’ve chosen a location based on what the two of you like. Whether it’s a baseball field, rock climbing, or a posh hotel lobby, OWN IT. Wear an outfit that complements your style as well as the ambiance.
-
Make sure your hair and makeup is well done.
Consider professional hair and makeup for your shoot. If you feel that your hair and makeup skills are up to par, then by all means, do it yourself. Bridal Beauty Tip: Schedule your wedding day hair and makeup trial (preferably in the morning) the same day as your engagement shoot. This helps you knock out two birds with one stone.

Make it a full day event.
You’re all done up and dressed nicely, why not close the day out with a date?! This is a perfect time to take advantage of the aesthetic. Our couples typically go on a date after the engagement sessions.
-
Choose a professional photographer.
Planning a wedding can be stressful. Though we all have friends who own digital cameras and “dabble in photography”, this is one of the times where you want to invest in a photographer who has experience shooting engagement sessions. The engagement shoot is a time for the couple to experience what it’s like being up close and personal with a professional photographer. You will be asked to do various things: act natural, act sensual, strike a pose, smile, tell her something funny to make her laugh. When you start out, you may be asked to jog your memory of a lovable time with your fiancé. How did you feel? This is all done with the intention of capturing your expressions.
