Hello there! Douley here, and I am excited to share some insights with you on how to prepare for your engagement session. This is a unique opportunity for us to get to know each other better before your big day, and for you to become accustomed to the camera. It's my goal to ensure you have a successful and enjoyable photo shoot, so here are some tips to make that happen.

Let's start with outfit choices. Wearing something comfortable and reflective of your style can make a big difference in how you feel during the session. Consider coordinating your outfits, but avoid matching too perfectly. Instead, aim for a cohesive look. For example, if one of you is wearing a bold color, the other might choose a more neutral tone that complements it. Also, consider the location and season of your shoot. A flowing dress might be perfect for a beach shoot, while a cozy sweater could be ideal for a winter session.

Speaking of locations, this choice can add a personal touch to your photos. Think of places that hold special meaning for you as a couple. It could be where you had your first date, your favorite park, or even your own home. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Unique locations can make your photos stand out - think of a library for book lovers, or a vintage car rental for automobile enthusiasts.

When it comes to poses, my biggest advice is to be yourselves. Authenticity shines through in photos. I'm here to guide you, but your natural interactions will create the most meaningful images. Think of this session as a date, with me as your third wheel, capturing your love story. Don't worry about looking perfect in every shot. It's the genuine laughter, tender glances, and spontaneous moments that truly make your photos special.

Finally, remember this is a fun experience! It's an opportunity to create lasting memories before you say 'I do.' Feeling nervous is completely normal, but I assure you, after a few snaps, you'll ease into it.

The objective of an engagement session is to capture your unique love story. With these tips, I hope you feel more prepared and excited for your photo shoot. Can't wait to work with you and capture your beautiful moments!
