Whether you intend to use your engagement photos for "save the date" cards, thank you cards, photos to compliment your wedding portraits in your house, or simply using the session to get comfortable with your photographer, your engagement session should help you relax in front of the camera and give people a window to your love story. There are many ways to explore and express your unique personalities with your engagement session. Here are just some of the ideas you can use to get the best results!
1. Plan a picnic in the park, you can share an ice cream in the summer months and some hot chocolate in the fall.
2. Relive your first date. Have your session at a special bar, coffee shop or theater.
3. Maybe you have a cool pastime or hobby to showcase. Do you race dirt bikes? Are you an artist? Maybe you and your fiance like to stand up paddle board together? All these would create amazing photos.
4. Could be, your home is your favorite place...then a session at your house is a great choice. Showcase your cooking skills (or just snuggle in bed together). You can be more relaxed at home and capture your emotions in a place you love.
5. For adventure seekers, a camping session or indoor rock climbing gym visit could be right up your alley. Perhaps you love theme parks? A local carnival or ferris wheel also make for great backdrops.
6. Love Seattle? include a prominent landmark in your pictures - like the Space Needle or the downtown waterfront. You can also take a ride on the light rail and check out all the unique art at the different stations.
7. Include your fur baby. They are a part of your love story as well!
In the end, your engagement session and photos are about telling people about you and your special love, so whatever you choose, be sure to make it about you. As your photographer I would happily help guide you to find the right location and a distinctive style for your Seattle area engagement session.
