Top Tips for the Best
Engagement Photographs
Make it activity based. There is nothing more awkward than a clearly staged or posed photograph
wherein the couple are standing stiffly in front of a boring, single colour backdrop. Your pictures will
look much more stylish and natural if you are both doing what you love. This will create much more
genuine looks and reactions from you and your partner. So, it is much better to ignore that the
photographer and the camera and focus on the emotions that your other half brings out in you. Doing
a hobby, such as hiking, swimming or even crafting together will bring out these emotions in you and
thus create the best reactions and ergo the best photographs possible for your announcement.
Set the scene. Thi ki g a out where to stage your a ou e e t pi tures a take ti e a d so it’s
best to think about where you want to take the pictures. The location should be somewhere that is
important to your relationship. For example, if you met your partner at a café, at work or at university,
maybe find a way to incorporate that into your engagement pictures. The photos will turn out much
better if they are not so generic and overdone.
Wear what you and your partner are comfortable in. Clothing has remarkable power within
photographs and can really set the mood. While it can be nice to dress up and look fancy, remember
that this can take away from the natural fluidity of the picture. So, even if it might look good if you and
your partner are dressed to the nines, it will look even better if you are comfortable. If you and your
other half are awkward in your clothes this will show through the lens and in print.
Bring a prop. Even if you are in one of the most adventurous locations in the world, a simple
background can be quite mundane. Bringing a prop that is important to your relationship can really
spice up your photograph as well as making it a touch more personal and sentimental.
