Give me all of your Engagement Photo tips!

Eri, on October 4, 2019 at 8:32 PM Posted in Parties and Events 1 6

Hi everyone!

After being engaged a little over a year now, we're finally getting our engagement pictures taken on November 1st.

I'm super excited to work with my photographer and makeup artist! We already have the spot picked out (a local national park) and the time (about two hours before sunset), and my photographer gave me a guide on what to wear, etc.

However, I'd love to hear some tips from you guys! Feel free to share your photos below as well. I'm particularly looking for outfit and nail inspiration.

We will be doing two outfits -- one casual, and one dressy.

I never really get my nails done or anything, so I'd particularly love any extra advice here. How far in advance do you get them done? Would the day before or day of be fine?

Thank you, as always!

    I just took my engagement photos two weeks ago and the best advice that I can give you is to not over think it. My fiancé and I were very nervous leading up and honestly it ended up being a really fun experience. Definitely tell each other a lot of jokes so the smiles come out genuine...whatever you wear make sure you’re comfy in it. I got my nails done almost a week before but I made sure to not do anything crazy so I Wouldn’t chip the acrylic since you said you hardly ever get them done I would do two days before if you’re doing acrylic so your fingers aren’t sore. Other than that just try to have fun! They’re going to turn our lovely regardless! 💕

    My biggest piece of advice is to relax and keep one another laughing! FH and I kept cracking each other up during our shoot and the photos reflected how happy we are together

    Hey Prynne Smiley smile

    For your outfits, I would advise to be yourselves!

    For the casual outfits, I would suggest wearing something which is your typical everyday style, whether it's jeans and a jumper, skirt or dress, etc.

    For the formal outfit you can then go outside the box more and get all dolled up Smiley smile
