“We’re not a romantic couple, and we don’t enjoy PDA.”
This is how our conversation started. You see, when I book a new couple, I always have a call where we cover some important aspects to help me craft a personalized experience for each pair. After all, every couple is unique in the experience they want and the photos they want to receive.
“That’s okay. What do you like to do as a couple?” I asked.
“We like to laugh a lot! We tease each other all the time,” she replied.
With that in mind, we planned a session that was perfect for them. They wanted a vibrant session where they could be themselves, laugh at each other, and just have fun with their engagement photos—without feeling overly directed or, to be honest, cheesy. Nobody wants cheesy photos, right?

How to Get Fun Engagement Photos?
Be Honest With Your Photographer:
If you’ve hired a professional photographer, they know how to do their job, but the quality of the results is a direct collaboration with the couple being photographed. Be honest with your photographer and communicate who you are as a couple, including what you enjoy and what you don’t.
Choose a Location That’s Vibrant:
While the focus is on you and your partner, the location plays a key role in setting the mood! Choose a location that both of you will enjoy and that aligns with the vibe and aesthetics you’re aiming for.

Let Loose & Have Fun:
Stepping in front of a camera can feel intimidating, but remember how much you’re going to love these photos! Relax and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine. The first few minutes might be a bit awkward, but a skilled photographer will help you feel comfortable and make the session super enjoyable. You should feel comfortable enough to be yourself!
