The Perfect Location for your Engagement Session: 3 Things to Consider
Trying find the perfect location for your engagement session can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. The fear of ending up in a spot that feels generic or overused, or the uncertainty of where to even begin looking, can leave couples feeling lost in a sea of options. We’re here to help! In this guide, we will go over the 3 simple (but incredibly important!) main things to consider when choosing the perfect location for your engagement session!
Meaningful Memories
The location of your engagement session is important because of its significance to your relationship. Your pictures and videos will capture the moments you’ve spent together, whether it was on a calm park bench where you planted your first kiss or on a busy city street where you laughed until your sides hurt.
Consider the times and locations where you have laughed, cried and grown as a couple that have shaped your relationship. These are the settings that will give your engagement session additional dimension and significance.
Celebrate your love story and the journey that you’ve walked together during your session. You can make sure that your images and films are true representations of your relationship by picking a place that honors your shared past as well as your aspirations for the future.
Think about how important each location is to your love story as you look through the available locations. Give top priority to the locations that have particular meaning for the two of you, whether it’s a nostalgic spot from the past or a fantasy spot you’ve always wanted to visit.
When it Comes to your Engagement Session, Think Outside the Box
You don’t have to pick a “go-to” stunning location for your engagement shoot. It can be any location that has special meaning for your love story, like your cozy home, the charming café where you met, or the breathtaking location of your engagement.
Capturing the essence of your love story during your engagement session can take place anywhere that holds special meaning for you. Don’t let the popularity or beauty of a place force you to pick it. A place that evokes special memories is where your love will shine the brightest.
Think about how genuine and intimate it would be to walk down the same streets where your love story first started or to curl up in the comfort of your own home. These unique touches will turn your engagement shoot into a remarkable event.
By choosing a location that resonates with your story, you’ll create a deeper connection with your engagement session. Your cinematic engagement session will be totally yours since every frame will resonate with the feelings and memories of that location.
The only caveat? Make sure the place you pick has great light, and it doesn’t look messy or dirty 😉
Make it Personal
The customized experience that comes with picking a significant location for your engagement session is one of the biggest benefits. You won’t have to pretend to be models or actors; instead, you’ll be free to let go, be authentic, and savor the occasion.
During your engagement session, you’ll definitely feel more at ease and comfortable when you’re in settings that are familiar to you or hold special value for you. This ease will convert into sincere laughs, smiles, and tender moments that are caught on camera.
You can choose an activity that the two of you can do together, since this is more than just a beautiful location! Consider baking, rollerblading, painting, and cooking. There are countless possibilities!
We love helping couples having genuine, authentic experiences that capture their unique personalities and love stories. We can capture the most sincere and emotional moments of your relationship by picking a place that speaks to you both.
Your engagement session is just the beginning of your journey together, and you should prioritize that every moment is filled with joy, love, and laughter.
