Tips from a Berlin Engagement Photographer
Embarking on an engagement photo shoot with a professional engagement or wedding photographer is an enchanting way to capture the essence of your love story. Especially, if you are in a dreamy destination like Gran Canaria. But whether you’re surrounded by romantic streets or breathtaking landscapes, these tips will help you make the most of your destination engagement photo shoot.
Couple Photography
Consider locations that hold personal significance or resonate with your shared interests. Whether it’s a charming cityscape or a lush countryside, the backdrop should complement your unique love story. Also, enlist the expertise of a professional engagement photographer who can help you find the perfect spot for your photo shoot. Alai and Nacho, for example, chose the beach for their photo session with Berlin engagement and wedding photographer Melanie, because they share a passion for surfing.
Authentic Engagement Photography
The most captivating engagement photos often capture the genuine emotions between a couple. Therefore, relax, be yourselves, and enjoy the moment. Focus on each other, not the camera, because candid shots that showcase your love will be the ones you cherish the most. Your choice of outfit can significantly enhance the overall experience and aesthetic of your engagement photos, as well. Consider the destination’s climate and vibe when selecting outfits. Opt for colors that complement the surroundings and suit you. Also, pack a variety of clothing options to add diversity to your photos. Moreover, don’t forget to coordinate your outfits for a cohesive look. For their surf-themed engagement photos in Gran Canaria, Alai and Nacho chose a few casual beach outfits. Once the sun went down temperatures dropped. But Alai and Nacho were prepared and had packed a few layers to stay comfortable during their couple photo shoot.
The Perfect Time for your Destination Engagement Photo Shoot
The timing of your photo shoot is crucial for capturing the best natural light. Plan your shoot during the golden hours — shortly after sunrise or before sunset because the soft, warm glow during these times adds a magical touch to your photos. Your engagement photographer will help you pick the perfect time for your engagement photo shoot. Also, make sure to arrive early at your destination. Allow plenty of time ahead of your pre-wedding photo session to settle in, relax and recover from jet lag.
