Why Themed Engagement Photoshoots are our Favorite Session!When we photograph engagement sessions, very few couples want to make it a dramatic themed occasion. And that's ok. Dressing up into your favorite movie or storybook character isn't everyone's thing. But there are soo many reasons we love capturing the unique story for the love birds who do.
The first reason is the wardrobe! Right off the bat, the styling is unique and personal to the engaged couples. Of course, we are always impressed by the soon-to-be brides or family members who DIY their decorations for their weddings. But imagine the hard work put into their outfits for a special themed occasion! Whether the couple handmakes or, easier yet, buys from a costume store, wardrobe will bring the best smiles out of the people wearing them because they feel and look their best.
Another reason we love photographing themed engagement sessions is getting the proper atmosphere lighting to match the couple's love story. Before every shoot, we like to do a mental exercise to understand what images our couples would value the most during this particular moment. Because our shooting and editing style looks very cinematic, themed engagements allow us to see your picture-perfect moment in the best light scenario while having that discussion. And if not, then we are happy to research the original tale the themed event is inspired by to set the right mood for the photos with our knowledge of pastel techniques.
The last reason we love working with couples who plan a themed engagement photoshoot is that it inspires others to be more involved throughout the session. The more effort you put towards a goal, the more likely you will succeed and will be proud of the outcome. Whenever a couple comes to us with their photo ideas, we know how much they have been dreaming of that particular moment, and we do everything we can to make it the most cherishable themed engagement session.
