Engagement Photos

Hey!

So, we recently booked our wedding photographer, and she’s offering us an engagement session. Initially we were hesitant, because we took engagement pictures about 7-8 months after we got engaged with an amateur photographer, who charged about $150 for an hour, that actually ended up really good! We’ll have been engaged 3 years when we get married. I’ve attached some of my favorites from the shoot below.
This is our dilemma: we don’t want to get “dressed up” or go to a “venue,” or really even put makeup on for this second round. We really want to do an intimate shoot next in our own home, kind of in OUR comfort zone. Our wedding photographer is super excited about the idea, and now we’re just having trouble finding some inspiration. My FH graduated from the Culinary institute of America, we have two cats and a large Labrador, and we both really like painting together. We would really appreciate it if you all could attach images of couples (in their “natural habitat”).
Thank you guys so much for taking the time to read and respond to my post! Below I’ll attach a comment with inspiration that we were gravitating towards so you can kind of get an idea of what direction we’re going in!Engagement Photos 1

    There was a thread a few days ago, where a few people posted some inspiration photos of doing an at-home engagement photo shoot with their dog! You may be interested in some of those - check out the thread here: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/engagement-photos-with-your-dog/aa38250f4ed6de63.html

    Hey guys!

    So, here is some of the inspiration we've pulled from couples/people we initially thought of when imagining a more "natural" shoot. I mentioned above that we have a labrador, however, he would most likely be at "grandma's" for the shoot considering he would 100% steal the spot-light, haha... Anyways, please let us know if you have any poses or suggestions regarding what we should do!

    Okay, only one more. I promise!

    Notice, there aren't any fake smiles, I know that some are posed but to me they seem quite natural.

    Maybe a pic of you two painting each other? The canvas would be turned away so it’s not captured on film. Or if you have an enlarged pic of your fur babies (seems like they do steal the show with their cuteness) in the background & you 2 are painting a pic of it?

    I love those fall photos of the two of you!! They are so sweet and well-styled! ❤️

    I think an "at home" engagement shoot is such a fun idea! There's a ton of new inspiration on Pinterest now, and you can get some really beautiful and intimate pictures together:

    There's also lots of cute cooking inspo!! I think painting together would work just as well for those sweet and silly candid moments:
