Plan an Engagement Session to Get Photos That Last A Lifetime

Oct 7
One of the most important decisions in your relationship is to plan an engagement session. These photos will be treasured for a lifetime and can be passed on to future generations. We have put together a list of everything you need to know about planning an engagement session.

Locate the perfect Photographer

It is a good idea to research local photographers who are experienced in these types of sessions before you start planning engagement photography sessions. Look at their websites and social media profiles to find out if they match your criteria. Then, contact them via email or telephone (or both!)

An intimate session with a photographer should be the goal of an engagement session. Make a list of local photographers and contact them to get pricing information, samples of photos, or any other information that might be useful. This will allow you to understand the experience of working with each photographer. Each engagement session should include different photos taken throughout the day. Not just at sunset, because that's pretty. You might have some photos taken in natural light, while others will be taken when artificial lighting makes everything pop. Before you sign anything, make sure that all this information is included in your contract!

Ask each photographer about their packages for engagement sessions. You will know exactly what the price of your investment is so that you don't have to guess later when it comes to selecting photos for stationery and other items that will require photographs.

 

Plan the Theme

Have you thought of a theme? There are many themes you can incorporate into your engagement session. Consider the season, where it is taking place and what colors you prefer or don't like. You can have a beach-themed session during spring or a mountain-themed event for those who live closer to the mountains.

Choose your location

Are you looking for a specific geographic area? Many couples love to include their favorite spots in an engagement session. Some couples like to include the place they met or the place they are getting married. It's up to them! Park sessions can be done for engagements in the late spring or summer. For photos that last more than one day, we recommend finding locations with beautiful scenery. While there are many options for engagement photos, we believe that the best ones are those where you explore new places together.

You can have engagement sessions in any city or location as long as the photographer is willing to travel. The couple should also know where they would like to have their engagement session, so that they can work with the photographer. There are so many locations to choose from, including at your home, on a trail or near a famous landmark. It is important to consider how long each location will take and whether this photography style works best with natural light. Some photographers are better at using sunlight.

Establishing a Timeline and Budget

It is important to establish a timeline before you book your engagement photography package. This will ensure that you are booking a time that suits you both. The best time to schedule your engagement session is six months prior to your wedding. However, it can be sooner or later depending upon personal preference and availability.

An engagement session usually lasts around two hours, if not longer! It all depends on how many locations are visited during the engagement session. Some people enjoy going for hours, while others prefer to save money so that they have enough content to last them the whole day. When deciding on the right package for you, this is an important consideration. Many couples choose to invest their money in photography packages, as it will last forever and give them the memories of every moment.
