Wear What Gives You Confidence
I know you know that one outfit. It’s the one you can’t wait to wear for your next date night. It brings you confidence and that confidence is what I want to see you walk into your engagement session with.  if you feel great, you look great! 

Get Dressed Up
It’s not every day you have the opportunity to jump in front of the camera. Go ahead and make the most of it! Lastly, finish the look with a glam outfit. I love the look of tulle skirts, flowy dresses, statement necklaces and soft pastel tones. Always feel free to reach out to me if you need suggestions on what to wear. 

Hair and makeup
Get Yourself pampered with a blowout and fresh manicure. It is also a great opportunity to schedule a hair and makeup trail or session.  You will walk away with a look ready for the camera. Be sure and confirm the getting ready by time with your makeup artist prior to our session. My best advice is to be ready one hour prior to our session time. 

Just say NO to spray tans
It’s nearly impossible to resist the urge to tan prior to your engagement session and wedding day, but when it comes to photos there are so many benefits to keeping your skins luminous natural glow. Applying a spray tan coats the skin and makes it photograph dull and murky. Plus, it’s really hard to work around those stubborn areas that catch the color – like hands, fingers and neck. So enjoy however pale or deep your skin is and you’ll see how radiant it looks in photos and if you must take 10-15 minutes the day before your session and sit in the sun to get a little glow. 


 













Treat this as you would any special occasion. Book and dinner for two at that fancy restaurant you have been dying to try.
It's a wonderful chance to pause in the midst of busy wedding planning and just enjoy a sweet date night together. Need some inspiration? Here are some places to look for stunning outfits:  BHLDN, ANTHROPOLOGIE, RENT THE RUNWAY & ASOS.
