Tips for a Successful Austin Engagement Shoot
In my years of being a wedding photographer I’ve learned several key invaluable lessons to help make the most of your experience:
- Choose the Right Photographer: Selecting the right photographer is the first step toward a successful day. Search for a professional whose photography style resonates by reviewing their portfolio and website. Beyond that, choose someone who aligns with your core values as a couple who will make you feel comfortable and let your true self out. This is also why we do an initial consultation instead of blindly showing up at the photo shoot.
- Discuss Your Vision: Communicate openly with your photographer about why you want to take these images and how you want them to feel. Often times sharing details about your relationship, special moments you want to capture, and any specific preferences you have regarding the style or location of the shoot will help you and your photographer being on the same page.
- Select a Meaningful Location: Consider choosing a location that holds significance for both of you as a couple. Whether it’s a favorite park, a scenic spot in the city, or a venue with sentimental value. If you’re unsure where you want to have your session, we can always help guide you to finding a spot that aligns with you as a couple.
- Wardrobe and Styling: Coordinate your outfits to complement each other and the chosen location. Opt for colors and styles that reflect your personality and make you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.
- Relax and Have Fun: On the day of the shoot, relax and enjoy the experience with your partner. Trust your photographer to guide you through the session giving prompts and having conversation while focusing on capturing the candid moments of laughter and love. Embrace the opportunity to create memories together and let your personalities shine through in the photos.
Your session should feel like a date night. Enjoy each other’s company while we capture your story.
