And not just any photographer, but (hopefully) your wedding photographer! Many will offer a discount for engagement photos or even include them in your service agreement from them. When looking for a photographer, you’ll want to find someone’s whose artistic style matches yours, is in the price point you your looking for AND someone whose personality you enjoy. Why? Well, your photographer is going to be with you practically all day and you want to hire someone you’d enjoy being around on your wedding day. However, if your photographer doesn’t include anything special with their day of services, you can always hire a different photographer to capture your engagement photos.
#2: Find Your Location:

Are and your boo more of a mountain or beach couple? Do you love beer or wine? Are you a coffee couple? Are you homebodies? What do you enjoy doing and where do you usually spend your time? It’s a fun trend to take your photos in a place that speaks of your relationship. The who, what, where? If you’re stuck, ask your photographer who should be able to help come up with a location that fits you.
#3: Create Your Style:
Are you more BohoChic, Indie, Rustic, Romantic? Are you more business professional, relaxed? A little more country? Determine which one fits you two best and then choose an outfit or two for you both. And hey, if you need to make a special trip to Anthropologie for that outfit, go right ahead!
#4: Determine Your Must Have Shotlist:
If you spend anytime on Pinterest, you’ll find a lush amount of inspiration pics there. Browse through some and compile a list of the ones that are must haves for you. Hint: Think photos with your fur baby, of your ring, doing your favorite activity, a ‘dip’ picture.
#5: Get Pampered:
After all these steps are completed, consider getting pampered. That means a trip to your hair salon to touch up those roots. A trip to the barber so your fiancé looking his finest. A trip to the nail salon so your digits are in pristine shape. And day of, a trip to a blow dry bar so your locks are simply divine. You can also hire a make up artist or get make up services at your blow dry bar (if they provide it). Lastly, you may consider a quick trip to your jeweler so they can clean your ring.
