Great tips for your engagement photo session.<\/h3>\n

Q:\u00a0What do you recommend couples wear for the engagement shoots?
\nA:\u00a0Bring 2 outfits! Casual and dressy. Something that reflects your personality and is comfortable. Think of the look and feel you would like to project.<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0Is there anything you need to know before going to an engagement shoot?
\nA:\u00a0If you would like to include your pet, have someone with you to care for the pet in between photos. If you would like to do a \u201cthemed\u201d shoot, bring appropriate props. In FL it\u2019s hot! So bring towels for sweating and makeup to reapply.<\/p>\n

Q: Is there anything you\u2019d recommend for couples to avoid doing during their photo shoot?
\nA:\u00a0Please do not bring an entourage! To many opinions! Try to have just a few photos ideas. You\u2019ll want your photographer to use their skills to get you out of the box ideas.<\/p>\n

Q: What are the tips you usually give your couples to prepare them?
\nA:\u00a0If you are going to your hair and makeup trial, pad your time. In our experience the appointments run long and the bride wants to change her hair. If it\u2019s going to be hot out, don\u2019t wear dark clothes. Also the location you choose could have an activity so check the location out and have a backup plan.<\/p>\n

There ya have it! Use these tips to make the most of your engagement photos and create the perfect save the dates for your wedding.
