How to Choose Engagement Photo Locations That Reflect Your Love Story
When choosing engagement photo locations, I like to think beyond just a pretty background. Your engagement season is so special and should be intentionally documented to tell your unique love story. As an engagement photographer, I’m sharing all my favorite tips and location ideas to make your engagement photoshoot romantic, memorable, and fun. Let’s dive in!
Meaningful Engagement Photo Locations
My favorite engagement photo locations are the ones that are memorable and meaningful. Think about where you’ve shared special moments together—like the place you first said ‘I love you,’ your go-to date night spot, or somewhere that reflects your shared interests, like a cozy coffee shop. Your engagement photos may end up framed in your home, at your wedding reception, or as your save the date cards, so think about how much more meaningful these keepsakes will be in a place that is near to your heart!
Make Your Engagement Session a Fun Date
Engagement photo locations that double as a fun date make for the most authentic storytelling moments. I love how Alex and Zach had their engagement session at Old Westminster Winery! It was so fun capturing them relaxing and drinking wine together, just as they would on a date! Other couples have chosen a plant nursery, a peaceful walk by the lake, or a picnic at Corodorus State Park for their sessions. Think about activities you love to do together, and let’s see how we can incorporate them into your engagement photoshoot! I share 5 of the best central PA engagement locations here!
Reflect Your Unique Personalities
It’s always a good idea to match your engagement photo locations to your style and personalities. If you love nature and greenery, choose a nearby park with a scenic lake and lots of trees. If you love more of a luxury, high-end vibe, choose a spot downtown like the Pennsylvania State Capitol. Think about the kind of outfits you want to wear, and make sure they match your location too.
