Where to Take Your Engagement Photos: How to Choose the Perfect Location

Where should we do our engagement photos?

Hey Lovebirds!

Now that you’re thinking through who you want to shoot your engagement photos, try to envision where your engagement photos are going to be. Ask yourself a few questions to help decide on a location:

Are there any spots that are particularly special to you?

Want to head back to the spot where you had your first date? How about the spot where you got engaged? There is a lot of potential for spots that could be special to you both. This is also a time to forget about the world around you and celebrate the love you and your partner share!

What kind of landscape are you looking for?

Consider what kind of landscape you’re looking for. You could choose something chic and with city buildings, or light and airy in the woods.

Are you inspired by any engagement photos you’ve seen already?

Have you seen engagement photos that inspire you already? Let your photographer know! They can help you to figure out how to pull off similar engagement photos that are unique to your love story.

Quick tip: Gather inspiration for your engagement photos with platforms like Pinterest and Instagram. It will help your photographer to see what you’re looking for! But please please only use this for inspiration for location ideas, outfit ideas, don’t use them as must have shots. Your engagement photos should be genuine and in the moment. If you’re following a must have Pinterest list you’ll miss out on enjoying the moment together.

What are you planning to wear?

If you’re planning to wear something in particular, consider how it would look in different locations. If you want to get formal with your outfits, for example, consider choosing a location that matches that vibe.
