If you are searching for cute and creative engagement photoshoot ideas, look no further! These adorable examples are bound to give you plenty of inspiration to base your own engagement photoshoot on!
Returning to the place where you had your first date is a perfect idea for an engagement photoshoot! Recreate the scene as vividly as possible by wearing similar clothes (or the same ones if you happen to still own them!) or play up the setting and make a point of marking the location in your pictures.
To make any picture feel like it was taken at a classy engagement party, simply add balloons to the image set! This will give your engagement photoshoot a festive feel without breaking your budget and is a perfect teaser for the guests if you already have a color scheme in mind for the wedding. Get balloons in your desired colors and add small beads or pieces of glitter before blowing them up to add an extra layer of creativity and innovation!
By angling a camera looking down from the ceiling or finding a photographer that can position themselves above you, there becomes endless options for utilizing the floor space to create beautiful imagery. Spelling out messages or making images such as hearts out of lights, rose petals, chalk, or even a crowd of people can make for incredible pictures you will be dying to share with the world.
This photoset focuses more on the couples’ position relative to each other than it does with the setting. When planning an engagement photoshoot using this idea, all the pictures should primarily focus on the way the couple is intertwined and connected. Try crossing your legs over one another, linking arms, or leaning against each other.
For a perfect relaxing engagement photoshoot, rent a paddleboat and take it out on a nearby lake, river, or pond. Alternatively, a canoe or kayak would work just fine as well. Have your photographer stay on dry land, above you if possible, to get the best shot.
Wearing native or cultural clothing can be very meaningful and incredibly important in some families and cultures. Incorporating these beliefs into your engagement photoshoot can be extraordinary!
To replicate this breathtaking image set in your own engagement photoshoot, use the burst shot feature as you jump into the water. This will give you hundreds of options to choose from to find the perfect picture without any of the usual blurriness that occurs from taking photos of a moving object. This pose can also be utilized in a variety of ways; the main concept is simply to capture the moment before impact, showing the couple pristine and clean before hitting the water, mud, field of flowers, paint, or anything else messy and playful!
Find a secluded road to pose on with your partner. Include your current vehicle and pets, then look into each other’s eyes or face away from the camera holding hands and starting the long path ahead together.
Visit your favourite stores, restaurants, parks, or anywhere else you and your significant other frequent and have a mini impromptu engagement photoshoot at each location. Dress up as much as you desire before starting your day and then just have fun with it! Not only will you get to experience a whole day doing what you love with your partner, but your happiness will also show in the pictures!
Carrying your partner on our shoulders or allowing yourself to be picked up can make for a great engagement photoshoot! Playing with the idea of taller, vertical pictures as opposed to the traditional horizontal frame with two people standing next to one another can allow for a better representation of your surroundings, depending on the environment. If you are looking to include mountains or trees in your shot, this is a great way to do so without moving yourself out of the center of the frame.
If your relationship primarily matured in high school, college, the workplace, a certain bar, or any other singular location, it’s a great idea to plan your engagement photoshoot there for added sentimental value.
If you are looking to complete an engagement photoshoot on a budget, love fashion, or just don’t want the scenery taking away from your shot, focusing around a matching theme is the perfect choice for you! Wear clothes you already own or make a day out of picking out several themed outfits from thrift stores.
Including the stars and night sky in your picture can be incredibly gorgeous when done properly. In order to get the lighting to turn out properly, you will likely need a nicer camera with a variety of adjustable settings and features, so the image may not turn out as well if being done using a smartphone. That isn’t to say it won’t still be gorgeous!
To find a secluded and beautiful area for your engagement photoshoot without breaking the bank on renting out the local botanical gardens, try taking a hike around nearby state parks. There are bound to be a plethora of isolated sites that are unique to your engagement pictures rather than feeling like a stock image.
For a fun surprise, pick a flat, well-lit spot in advance and set up a camera. Next, invite your partner for a picnic with you. Position the blanket in front of the camera and when the time is right, pop the question!
If you and your significant other grew up in the same town or are moving somewhere completely new together, marking this shared commitment to a space can be a fun addition to any engagement photoshoot. Not to mention, this option will be incredibly fun to recreate years in the future as the town continues to change. Snap a picture in the middle of downtown or in front of any (locally) well-known landmarks.
If you are looking for a picture where the focus is more on the ring than the couple, try centering your hand in the frame or layering it over whatever is happening in the background of the photo.
This couple met at a summer camp as children. When they revisited as camp counselors years later, the opportunity to relive the wonder of first meeting each other became the perfect chance to ask to spend every day together.
If you want your engagement photoshoot to be stress-free, simply pick a background, a pose, and snap a picture! Daytime outdoor lighting, particularly in the morning and early afternoon, can look significantly better than fluorescent indoor lights. For the most natural look, try leaning against a tree with one another.
If there is an upcoming celebration in either of your careers, families, or otherwise, use the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that you’ll already be dressed up. It maintains the surprise proposal without the threat of looking bad in pictures!
For a more rustic feel, kick of your shoes and have your engagement photoshoot while taking a gentle stroll across the beach with your loved one.
