Engagement Pictures

Engagement pictures are a great way to get to know your photographer before your wedding day. It is a time to relax, have fun, and learn to work with the photographer. I always shoot engagement pictures on location (e.g. city park, river, downtown, or at special spot of your choice).  If you are local in the Willamette Valley there are lots of places in Corvallis, Albany, or in the Salem area.  There are a few good reasons to get engagement pictures: Put them in your wedding album, send them out in wedding announcements or insert into your wedding programs, submit one to the newspaper, display a large framed picture at your wedding, put some pics on your own website, or give as gifts to friends and family.

Tips for the Engagement Photo Shoot:

• Be yourself. Dress how you normally would in a casually nice outfit.
• Wear comfortable clothing that you can stand, sit, and lay on the ground in.
• Dress in solid colors, preferably earth tones (e.g. greens, browns, blues)
• Wear clothing that compliments your fiancé. Don’t clash!
• Don’t wear clothing that will distract from the two of you (clothes with logo’s, crazy patterns, etc…)
• Black or dark clothes will make you appear “thinner”.
• Don’t wear lots of shiny makeup as it will make you appear oily.
• Try to avoid wearing glasses if you can. It can be challenging trying to eliminate glare at times or just wear the frames and take out the lenses.
