WELCOME + CONGRATULATIONS!
The week before your shoot
GET YOUR MIND READY
Confidence is key, so remind yourselves daily how good you look with some light-hearted flirting with your partner to get comfortable expressing affection in front of the camera.
Remember, this is a celebration of your love! ♥
STYLING TIPS
Choose outfits that reflect your personalities and complement each other. Avoid solid white and busy patterns. Coordinate colors but don't match too perfectly. Feel free to bring a backup outfit just in case. Note that your photographer is happy to help you choose your outfits ahead of time.
Your engagement ring will be a focal point of many of the photos, so make sure it's sparkling clean! Give it a gentle polish before the shoot to make it shine.
GROOMING TIPS
Consider getting your hair and nails done professionally for that extra polished look. Make sure your hairstyle is one you feel confident and comfortable with, and that your nails are clean and well-groomed. Get onto your HMUA's calendars ASAP!
Plan for a solid 3 hours of glam on top of travel time, when putting together your shoot day itinerary.
Start prepping your skin at least week before your shoot by staying hydrated and moisturizing regularly. Avoid trying any new skincare products or treatments right before the shoot to prevent any adverse reactions.
