Choose a theme. Whether casual, seasonal, right at home or retro-styled, make sure to prepare your theme in advance.

Choose outfits. And along with that theme you’ll need to prepare some coordinating outfits. No, you don’t have to be kitschy and match but straying away from clashing outfits or two totally different styles will be key.

Make a list. You may want to sit down with your partner and make a list of must-have photos you want taken. Ring shots, prop ideas, whatever is important for you to have, jot down and give it to your photographer.

You can even find or make your very own checklist of poses to make sure to snag throughout the experience.

And it’s really all that simple. Do a bit of homework before the day of the photoshoot and you’ll be prepared for a day of fun that ends with a day of gorgeous memories to share with your family and friends!
