"Why do I need to take engagement photos?"
Engagement photos are super useful for a couple reasons. It helps you to get to know your photographer, to experience what it's like "posing" before you're in wedding attire, and you get cute photos for your wedding website or save the dates.
"Where should I take my engagement photos?"
Many people gravitate towards similar locations for where to do their photos; a big empty field, by the water, a local park, etc. While there is nothing wrong with this and you can get some truly beautiful photos, there is more that we can do!
"What are some unique engagement session ideas?"
Why not do something that is more on-brand to your relationship. The best sessions are always the ones where my clients feel most like themselves and are having FUN. Real laughter and smiles make the best photos. Think of it more like a date, where you're bringing a photographer along.
Here are ten fun, quirky, unique, out-of-the-box engagement session ideas to consider:
1. Take a canoe, kayak, or row boat out on the water. Jump in if you're bold!
2. Go to one of those pop-ups specifically for cool photos like the FOMO factory, Museum of Ice Cream, or a Flower Vault.
3. Go to your favorite restaurant, or one that has meaning to you.
4. Stay home and do the mundane, daily things that make up the core of your relationship. Cook, make coffee, read the newspaper, play with your pets.
5. Hike up a mountain/go on an adventure to get photos with kick ass views
6. Go to your favorite brewery and throw a few back
7. Go to the place you had your first date, whether it was a coffee shop, movie theatre, restaurant, mini golfing, whatever!
8. Go to an arcade and take some Bonus points if there's some retro neon lights! Have fun; throw tokens/tickets in the air, be a kid, laugh a lot.

9. Go to a rooftop downtown to get unique views of the city. Do whatever you want up there. Rollerblade. Bust out your guitar. Have a picnic.
10. If you love your car, truck, or Jeep, wait until it's dark and have a nighttime picnic in front of the headlights!
11. Go mural hunting in the town where you live!
12. Take photos around your neighborhood to commemorate this time in your lives. Especially if you're planning to move once you're married.
13. Go to your local art museum, library, or somewhere of historical importance.
14. The subway / train station for some cool long exposure photos.
15. Cover yourselves in paint and then be your own paintbrushes on a huge canvas. Think of the cute kissing photos like in 10 Things I Hate About You. If you haven't seen that movie stop reading and watch it asap
