How to Have the Best Engagement Session
Orlando Engagement Photographer
Are you looking for an engagement photographer in Orlando?
After the big proposal, an engagement session is a portrait session you do as a couple before your wedding day. It’s a special way to celebrate your engagement and your love. There is no bad time to do an engagement session. Here in Orlando Florida, we are able to do them throughout the year and have done sessions from 2 years before wedding day all the way up to a few days before the wedding. However, it’s generally best to do them about nine months to a year and a half from your wedding because it puts you in the best window to get your save the dates out. We generally prefer doing engagement sessions in the evening before sunset but early mornings also work great depending on the location we choose.
How do you pick your perfect Orlando engagement photographer? Hint: After you pick your wedding venues.
We highly recommend having your wedding venue picked out and booked before selecting your engagement photographer. Book your wedding venue, to lock in your wedding date, then book your wedding photographer. That way, after choosing the perfect photographer for your wedding, you can do your engagement session with them. That’s because the best thing about doing engagement photography, is that it allows us to work together before the wedding day. We get to know each other better and you will be much more comfortable and relaxed on wedding day after already taking pictures together with your photographer. We can’t recommend working with your wedding photographer before your wedding enough.
What should we wear at our engagement session?
We like to see our couples in a few different outfits. Some couples like to either do a dressy or a casual look but our recommendation is that it’s generally best to do one of each. You never know which one you will like more. Every couple and session are unique, so wear what makes you feel the best.
The idea is to coordinate nicely and not to wear the exact same thing. Have fun with your style and wear what represents you the best. We recommend avoiding conflicting colors or patterns and complimenting nicely with each other.
Think of it as a nice date night where you can have a great time together, get to know your photographer and capture some amazing photos.
