Why You Should do an At-Home Engagement Photo Shoot

At-Home Engagement photos

The intimate images from this laid-back Sunday Morning session is exactly why you should consider doing an at home photo shoot to document your engagement.

I’m guessing you’ve seen a million engagement sessions by now, right? There are so many lovely photographs of couples in green, tree-filled parks, running along a beach, or perhaps strolling through a romantic cityscape. And I love them. But if you want something different - something truly and uniquely you, something incredibly timeless - then I submit that you should do your engagement photo shoot at home. Why? Because your home is your safe haven, the place you are your truest selves together. What better way to celebrate this chapter of your story than by creating art that documents the beauty of the life and home you share?

At-Home photoshoot ideas

Here are some things that will help you plan your at home engagement photos…

01

Keep things as casual as you like, or feel free to take it to the next level! When you’re planning your at-home photo shoot, feel out what direction you want to go with the styling. Do you want the contrast of dressing up and having a more formal at-home date? Or do you want to keep things super relaxed and hang out doing the things you do every day?

02

Think about the dynamics of having your photographer in your space! Do you have lots of natural light? Is there a certain space that’s special to you that you’d like to capture? Are you comfortable rearranging some furniture if your photographer requests it?
