We have shot hundreds of engagement sessions between us now and so we wanted to compile our top ten pieces of advice for any couple that is getting ready to do their engagement session! So here there are! Feel free to use as you plan out your dream session and send along to your girlfriend getting engaged soon!
4. Layer the look! If you ever look at a J.Crew catalog, the guys will have on a layered look which looks so classy! A vest or sweater over a button down long sleeved looks amazing!
- Do not try to match…try to pick outfits and accessories that *coordinate* instead. If everyone wore the same exact color at their e-shoot, how boring would those images be?
- Don’t be afraid to be bold! Accessorize and make your outfits your own! Hats, bold necklaces and daring heels are always welcomed! Plus things like scarves and jackets can be interchanged or taken off for different looks!
- Most patterns are actually ok…. however, graphics like cartoons or any wording are not favorable for portraits. It is too distracting and we want to be focused on you two! For patterns just make sure yours compliment each other.

5.Clean the ring! I love to shoot a few rings shots while you change outfits!
6. Most often, couples like to have one casual, everyday out t and then one out t that is dressier! is will give your shoot two totally different “looks”. I recommend beginning with the casual outfit first and then ending in the more fancy one.

And ladies, if the top is super low cut, that will limit the amount of angles I can shoot from. : ) Keep that in mind when shopping!
8. Empty your pockets! Literally. You don’t want to have key chains or phones showing through your pockets. ( is is for the guys especially!)
9.BE ON TIME! The later you arrive, the less time we have to shoot! And nobody wants that!
