We interviewed fellow wedding vendo Shaun Checke part owner of the Bloomery Flower Studio in Boonton, New Jersey
For many couples, the journey to the altar begins long before the wedding day. It starts with that magical question, "Will you marry me?" and is followed by months, sometimes years, of planning. One essential yet often overlooked aspect of this journey is the engagement shoot. While some couples might see it as just another item on their wedding to-do list, an engagement shoot serves a much greater purpose. Here's why it's pivotal in preparing for your big day.
In the midst of life's most cherished moments, some venues stand out more than others. For Sairah and Praveen, the choice of the Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey, with its captivating art installations and serene ambiance, couldn’t have been more perfect for their engagement session. Each sculpture and pathway told a story, harmoniously making every photograph a unique piece of art.

The genuine highlight, however, was the couple's wonderful decision to include their parents in the session. This wasn't just an engagement shoot; it was a celebration of two families coming together. Instead of adhering strictly to formal poses, we ventured into a realm of relaxed candidness. This resulted in a series of photographs where every smile, every laugh, and every tender gaze was beautifully genuine and unscripted.

In the world of engagement photography, every shoot has its distinct flavor. With Sairah & Praveen, the blend of the avant-garde Grounds for Sculpture and the inclusion of their parents added a fresh twist. The casual approach, combined with the vibrant atmosphere, made for a dynamic and memorable session that went beyond the conventional.

Choosing what to wear for your spring engagement photos can depend on your personal style, the location and theme of the photoshoot, and the weather conditions. Here are some tips to help you decide on the perfect outfit for your spring engagement photos:

Consider the location and theme of the photoshoot. If you're taking photos in a garden or park, you may want to wear floral prints or earthy tones that complement the surroundings. If you're taking photos in a city or urban setting, you may want to wear more modern and stylish outfits.
Choose colors that complement the season. Soft pastels and light, airy colors are perfect for spring. Think shades of blush, mint green, sky blue, and lavender. You can also mix and match pastel colors to create a cohesive look.
Think about layering. Spring weather can be unpredictable, so consider layering with a light jacket, scarf, or cardigan. This will not only keep you comfortable but also add dimension to your outfit.
Dress up a little. Engagement photos are a special occasion, so it's okay to dress up a little more than you would on a typical day. Consider wearing a dress or a nice blouse with dress pants or a skirt.
Coordinate with your partner. You and your partner don't have to match exactly, but coordinating your outfits can create a cohesive and stylish look. Consider choosing complementary colors or patterns that work well together.
Remember, the most important thing is to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. If you're not sure what to wear, you can always ask your photographer for advice or inspiration.
