Engagement photos not only
commemorate a happy occasion, they’re an opportunity to display your
personalities, to show your hopes and dreams. Whatever story you decide to
share, the important thing to know is how to have the perfect engagement
photos.
Relax
Don’t feel bad if the mere thought
of a photo session gives you the jitters. One effective way to deal with nerves
is to think of what exactly makes you nervous and then figure out ways to deal
with it. In being so prepared, you’ll be able to relax and have the best photo
session possible.
Decide
Your Story
Do you like busy, noisy
environments, or quiet, thoughtful ones? Are you more comfortable in places you
know, or do you have fun exploring new places? The point is to think about
where you and your fiancé feel comfortable and what story you want to tell.
Props can be fun, but don’t get
carried away. Remember, it’s your story. Let your personalities shine. Clothes
can also be problematic if you forget they don’t have to be uncomfortable to
make you look good. A comfortable outfit will help you relax, which makes for
great photos. Hair and make-up are also important factors in your look and your
photographer can tell you what works on camera. Just remember to do what’s
comfortable.
Photographers such as Eivan’sPhoto Inc.
have examples of how couples used locations to show their personalities. They
chose settings, props, and outfits that made them comfortable, free to express
themselves. You can too and your photos will be the better for it.
Facing
the Camera
Getting to know your photographer
ahead of time goes a long way to reducing nerves. Some couples research the
experiences of others
so as to know what to expect. Still afraid of last minute nerves? Plan your
engagement photo session as part of a day-long date. This eliminates the
feeling of being rushed because you now have plenty of time for photos.
Besides, starting out with the mindset that you’re on a date helps put you and
your fiancé in a romantic mood, perfect for the photo shoot.
In conclusion, the best engagement
photos tell a story that shows the couple’s personalities. You’ll have the best
photos too if you figure out how to tell your story in the way you imagine.
Relax and have fun sharing the happy occasion!
