There isn’t one right place for engagement photos, because there isn’t one right place that sums up what you are like as a couple. So this list isn’t meant to be comprehensive, because it never could be. It is meant to be a starting point as you consider what aspects of your couple-hood would be best served by backgrounds and greenery and buildings.
We have fetish-ized looking obliquely at the camera. Frowning ever so slightly in the distance. Being stone faced in front of shadowy buildings. What happened to real joy. Like, unabashed hilariously giddy happy joy? That is what I document. That is what I want you to feel.
Look – you might not get photos with your sweetie very often. In fact, I hope that when you travel, you spend so much time enjoying your adventures that you only come home with a few photos together. But getting married is a big deal! And there will be so many moving parts on your wedding day -constraints of time and clothing and locations and families. Engagement photos show more about what all the other days together are like. For Katie and Luke, the perfect engagement session definitely involved bringing their pup and a little champagne picnic while we had…

Thanks, Megan and Jay, for a wonderful afternoon, for bringing your hilarious dog and enough bacon for him to love me, and for picking such great spots to walk…
Engagement photos at Young Joni and embracing the cold At some point when you live in the North, you have to make a decision: will you complain about the cold, or will you not complain about the cold. It must be a conscious choice based on how you view the winter as a part of your life: “the cold” is a season that happens over months, and it is either something that you view as an impediment to living your life, or you view as a part of living your life in this place. I’ve made a choice to embrace…
A fear of heights and Ferris wheel engagement photos So, planning engagement photos makes some people anxious. I totally understand, most adults have not have had formal portraits taken since high school or maybe for a work ID. Even if those were pretty good experiences, they were probably not meaningful and fun. So I like to assure couples thinking about engagement photos that taking photos with your sweetie can be fun: it can be as enjoyable and easy as a nice walk, or a quick bite.
