Years ago, it was customary for brides sit for a solo portrait session. Well, not anymore.

Today couples are embarking on a quest in search for the perfect shot, together. With studio pictures becoming more drab, couples are looking for more high-concept ideas to capture their love. Many unexpected locales are being sought out to showcase the couple's love.

How about shooting in a field of flowers, inside a bowling ally, or at a baseball stadium? These are just some of the endless possibilities couples are starting to explore for their engagement photos. Not only are couples choosing adventurous places to shoot their photos, they are also coming up with personal touches to enhance their experience.

Perhaps choosing a specific theme, or a particular time period that reflects your connection, or maybe shooting action shots that reflect your playful side. As well as capturing beautiful shots of you and your significant other during your engaged bliss, many photographers offer engagement photos as a part of their wedding photography packages. Not only does this let you test drive your photographer and initially get comfortable, but lets you know what to expect on your big day. 

Today, adding personal touches to your wedding is key, so why not start from the very beginning with your engagement photos?

Best,
Hilary
