Five Faves for Friday…Props for an Engagement Photo Shoot
Did you just get engaged?
Maybe over the holidays
or Valentine's Day…
If so & you're planning an engagement shoot
there's more to think about than just a photographer.
What do you want the images to reflect? Do you want to keep
them simple or do you want to tell a story?
Props can help you tell your unique story. Just make sure it
is personal & authentic. They should capture
a special moment in time, but also be timeless.
Here are a few items that you might want to incorporate
into your session. And find more on our Pinterest board "engagement shoot inspiration".
1. Suitcases & Trunks
this perfectly chippy trunk makes the image
so much more adorable…don't ya think?

And definitely take advantage of this photoshoot to get your save-the-date image to send out to guests…
Look at this cute idea with the chalkboard tin cans on the bike.

But, most important stay true to yourself & share your love
for each other. This is a precious moment in time
that will be captured forever. Writing this post makes me want to schedule an "engagement photo shoot" for our 3rd anniversary since we never had one done. We'll see!
