Engagement Session Style Guide: Props Edition

Capturing the love and excitement of your engagement in beautiful photographs is such a fun part of the journey toward your wedding day. Engagement shoots provide an opportunity to showcase your unique personality and create lasting memories. One way to add an extra touch of charm and creativity to your photos is by incorporating props. These simple additions can transform your shoot into something truly special. So, let’s explore some fantastic prop ideas that will make your engagement photos shine!

Personalized Locations

To make your engagement shoot more meaningful, consider choosing a location that holds sentimental value for you both. It could be the cozy ambiance of your home, the place where you had your first date, or even where you got engaged. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box either – we’ve seen stunning engagement pictures taken in unexpected locations like Target. The key is to find a place that reflects your unique story as a couple.

Activity-based Shots

Engagement shoots can sometimes feel a bit awkward, especially if you’re not used to being in front of the camera. One way to make the experience more comfortable and capture some truly candid moments is to plan an activity during the shoot. Whether it’s baking a cake together, cooking your favorite pasta dish, or engaging in activities you both enjoy, it’s a great way to showcase your personality and keep things relaxed. Remember, the goal is to capture the essence of who you are as a couple.

Weekend Getaway Adventure

If you have a planned weekend getaway, why not bring your photographer along? Exploring a new place together creates a sense of excitement and adds a touch of spontaneity to your photos. The possibilities are endless, from strolling through charming streets to enjoying breathtaking landscapes. This idea captures the essence of your relationship and provides a unique backdrop for your engagement photos.

Vintage Charm

For those who love a touch of nostalgia and vintage flair, incorporating props like a Vintage Vespa or a classic car can add an extra layer of charm to your engagement shoot. These props create visually stunning images and provide an array of poses and opportunities for unique shots. You can effortlessly capture the joy and romance of your relationship while infusing a hint of old-world charm.

Remember, the key to a successful engagement shoot is to be yourselves and let your personalities shine through. Props can enhance the overall aesthetic and add an extra element of fun, but the focus should always be on capturing the love and connection between you as a couple. So, choose props that resonate with you and your relationship, and let the magic unfold!

Whether it’s baking in your kitchen, exploring new places, or riding a Vintage Vespa, the options are endless. The most important thing is to embrace the moment and enjoy the process. Your engagement photos will reflect the genuine love and happiness you share as a couple, creating memories that will last a lifetime. So, get creative, have fun, and let your engagement shoot be a true reflection of your unique love story!
