Essential Accessories to Bring to Your Engagement Photoshoot

Hey lovebirds! Your engagement photoshoot is all about capturing the joy and excitement of your upcoming wedding. To make your photos truly special and uniquely you, why not bring along some fun and meaningful accessories that reflect your personalities and engagement theme? Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect items for your shoot.

1. Don’t Forget the Bling!

Of course, bring your ring! Your engagement ring is the star of the show, so make sure it’s clean and sparkling for those close-up shots. We want that bling to shine!

2. Outfit Changes for the Win

Bring multiple outfits to add variety to your photos. Think about coordinating your outfits with the theme of your shoot:

  • Vintage Vibes: Think pearls, vintage accessories, bow ties for the gents, and classic sunglasses.

  • Country Charm: Cowboy boots, hats, and flannel shirts. Yeehaw!

  • Spring Fling: Light, pastel colors and floral prints.

  • Casual Cool: Your favorite comfy and stylish everyday wear.

3. Personalized Props to Make It Yours

Champagne and Champagne Glasses: Let’s toast to love! Popping a bottle of champagne can make for some fun and celebratory shots.

Your Beloved Pet: If your furry friend is part of the family, bring them along with a cute “She Said Yes” bandana. Pets always add a playful and personal touch.

Custom Newspaper: Announce your engagement in style with a custom newspaper saying “We’re Getting Married” with your date. You can find these adorable keepsakes on Etsy here.

Cozy Blanket: Bring a blanket that matches your engagement theme. I always have a classic white one on hand, but other colors and patterns can be super fun too!

4. Let’s Get Festive

Balloons: Add a whimsical touch with balloons in your wedding colors or fun shapes. They make for great props and instant joy!

Sign with Your Date: A cute sign with your wedding date can serve as a great prop and can be used for save-the-date announcements.

Bouquet: A bouquet that matches your theme adds a beautiful and romantic element to your photos. Who doesn’t love flowers?

5. Bring Your Hobbies to Life

Think about what you both enjoy doing together and bring those activities into your shoot:

  • Bookworms: Bring your favorite books or magazines.

  • Cycling Sweethearts: A bike can make for some fun and dynamic shots.

  • Picnic Lovers: Pack a picnic basket and blanket for a cozy, intimate setting.

  • Sports Fans: Bring along gear from your favorite sport or team.

  • Horseback Riding: If you love horses, include them for a unique and picturesque touch.

6. Unique and Personal Touches

Vintage Car: If you have access to a vintage car, it adds a classic and elegant feel to your photos. Think retro glam!

Food and Drink Faves: Incorporate your favorite foods and drinks. Are you pizza lovers? Dr. Pepper fans? Popcorn enthusiasts like my hubby? These little touches can add so much personality and fun.

Conclusion

Bringing along thoughtful accessories to your engagement photoshoot can make your photos even more special and uniquely you. Think about your theme, personal interests, and what makes your relationship one-of-a-kind to choose the perfect props. The most important thing is to have fun and let your love shine through in every shot.
