Preparing for Your Engagement Session: A Guide for Couples

April 14th, 2025

Hello, I'm Tatiana, a Nashville-based wedding and family photographer with a passion for capturing unique love stories. If you've landed on this page, chances are you're getting ready for your engagement session. Congratulations! This is an exciting step on your journey towards your wedding day.

 

An engagement session is not just about taking some beautiful photos for your save-the-date cards. It's also a golden opportunity to get to know your photographer and get comfortable in front of the camera. To help you prepare for this exciting experience, here are some tips on outfit choices, location selection, and posing ideas.

 

Outfit Choices: Your outfits should reflect your personalities and the overall feel you want for the session. Coordinate your outfits without matching exactly. Try to choose colors that complement each other and avoid bold patterns that may distract from your faces. Remember, comfort is key. If you feel good, it'll shine through in your photos.

 

Location Selection: Choose a location that holds meaning for both of you. This could be the place you first met, your favorite hangout spot, or even your own home. If you're drawing a blank, don't worry! I've photographed in numerous locations and can provide suggestions based on your preferences.

 

Posing Ideas: Don't stress too much about posing. It's my job as your photographer to guide you. That being said, feel free to gather inspiration from photos you admire. Share them with me so I can understand your likes and dislikes. Remember, the goal is to look natural and in love, not stiff and posed.

 

The most important thing to remember is that this session is about celebrating your love and commitment to each other. Relax, have fun, and trust in me to capture your unique love story. After all, I'm not just a photographer but a storyteller, here to make your special moments unforgettable.

 

Whether you're local to Nashville or planning a destination engagement, I'm excited to meet you and help bring your vision to life. Let's create something beautiful together!
