Wrightsville Beach has the perfect locations for your engagement photos.

Engagement sessions are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate your love story and capture beautiful moments that reflect your unique connection. As a light and airy destination wedding photographer based in Wilmington, NC, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing countless engagement sessions filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Here are some tips for planning a fun and memorable engagement session, along with highlights from Shelby and Jacob’s magical shoot.

1. Choose a Meaningful Location

Selecting the perfect location is key to creating a memorable engagement session. Whether it’s a scenic park, a charming downtown area, or a beautiful beach, choose a location that resonates with you as a couple. For Shelby and Jacob, we explored various picturesque spots, from dancing under Spanish moss to splashing water at the marina and laughing on the shores of Wrightsville Beach.

2. Coordinate Your Outfits

Coordinate your outfits to complement each other and the location. Opt for colors and styles that reflect your personalities and make you feel comfortable and confident. Shelby and Jacob chose light and airy outfits that perfectly matched the relaxed and romantic vibe of their engagement session, creating a cohesive and stylish look. Also, can we have a moment for the barefoot feet? More of this please!!

3. Incorporate Personal Touches

Incorporate personal touches that reflect your interests and hobbies as a couple. Whether it’s bringing along your favorite props, including your pets in the photos, or showcasing shared activities like dancing or playing music, adding personal elements will make your engagement session uniquely yours. Shelby and Jacob’s session was filled with laughter, dance, and playful splashing, capturing the essence of their fun-loving relationship.

4. Embrace Candid Moments

While posed photos are beautiful, don’t be afraid to embrace candid moments and spontaneous interactions. Some of the most genuine and heartfelt photos come from capturing the natural laughter, affection, and connection between you and your partner. Shelby and Jacob’s session was filled with genuine smiles, loving glances, and joyful laughter, creating authentic and heartwarming images.
