- Sit down and think about what defines you as a couple, use this information to help drive the photography session.
- Feel free to jump in and make your own poses if you think of one midway through a shoot, these will often be the best pictures of the shoot!
- Try two or three different locations, and for that matter, avoid doing "studio shoots". Studio shoots are old fashioned and boring.
- Get your pet involved. If you have a photogenic little critter in your home, make sure to bring him/her along. If anything, it'll make for a few humour photos!
- Don't sweat it if the first few pictures "don't feel right", it often takes up to an hour for a couple to really feel at ease and for the good pictures/poses to really flow.
- Bring along blotting powder to remove any perspiration from foreheads.
- The moment before a kiss is often better picture-wise than the kiss itself.
- Forget that the photographer is even there, just act natural and the pictures will work themselves out.
- Don't wear matching clothes, it's tacky!
- Have fun with it! You only get engaged once after all!
