1. Dress to Impress, Naturally!

What you wear can really make your photos pop!

Light colors like white, beige, or soft pastels tend to photograph beautifully, adding an airy and romantic feel to your images (first photo.)

Avoiding strong colors or busy patterns can keep the focus on you two lovebirds (second and third photo.)

And while matching outfits are adorable in person, they might not translate as well in photos ( last photo.)

Opt for complementary colors instead, like a light shirt for him and a soft dress for her.

Psst... My favorites? A radiant bride in white or beige and a groom rocking a light colored button up shirt think soft pinks, blues, or greens ( first photo.)

Bonus points if your outfits reflect your wedding day colors for that extra special touch!

2. Nail It!

Don't forget those digits! Especially for engagement sessions where we love to capture those close up ring shots, well-groomed nails can really enhance the photos. A fresh manicure or tidy nails can make all the difference.

Pro tip: Opt for a neutral shade to keep the focus on your beautiful rings.

3. Time is ticking, be punctual!

Time flies when you're having fun, so let's make every minute count! Being on time ensures we catch that dreamy golden hour light, giving your photos that magical glow. We schedule sessions around an hour before sunset to capture that perfect lighting, so promptness is key to making the most of our time together.
