Tying the knot in fall or winter has become the hottest wedding trend. The crisp air and falling leaves, the beautiful colors of winter filtered through the natural lighting makes this season perfect for an engagement party.
An engagement photography session is usually a couple’s first official portrait shoot together. It will also be a remainder of the most beautiful time in your life, when you said yes!
Celebrating this occasion with a few friends and family? You need a photographer to immortalize the shots.
As such, engagement photography must be immaculate and beautifully taken! How well are you prepared as far as engagement photography is concerned?
Hire a Professional Hair and Makeup Artist
This isn’t the occasion to DIY with makeup and hairstyle for your engagement. Make life easy for you by hiring a professional hair and makeup artist who will give you the desired look on the big day!
Here are some must-follow tips that will make sure you become picture perfect for the engagement shoot:
Exfoliate Ever Inch of Your Skin – Bride-to-be’s glow naturally after their proposal. It’s the happiness showing off on their face! However, the stress of planning an engagement party take much of the glow away.
Make sure to exfoliate and moisturize at least two days before the engagement party and photography session.
Candid Photos Captures the Spirit Far Better
Sometimes the best photos are ones without poses. Scenes capturing a loving moment between the bride and groom are perfect. People laughing, smiling and having a good time will ensure photos come out natural and beautifully rehearsed.
Provide the day’s timeline so that the professional can station themselves at the right spot at the right time.
Don’t Go Overboard With the Decorations
Repeat after me: simple is elegant!
You don’t have to make your engagement party ridiculously gaudy just for eye-catching pictures.
Beautiful flowers with crystal candle holders are perfect for table center pieces. Every shot at the engagement party must show less of the unnecessary white noise and more of the important people.
Another idea is to set up a table of framed pictures of the couple at various stages of their relationship.
