Creative Props for Your Engagement Photography Session
August, 11 2017
Congrats - You’re engaged! Next up? Planning your engagement photography session of course! Your engagement photos can be one of the most exciting aspects of being engaged because you and your fiancé get to celebrate each other.
Looking for inspiration? Here are some creative props that can help you and your fiancé loosen up in front of the camera:
Signs and Letters
A picture is worth a thousand words, but you can still add a few more letters to give your engagement photography some extra pizzazz. Whether you cuddle up with your kiddo and a sign that says “family,” or you and your fiancé hold an ampersand in your hands, signs are a great way to say, “We’re in this together.”
Objects
Another way to get your prop on during your engagement session is to pick out some fun objects to include in your photos. You can opt for big objects like a car or smaller props like a basketball.
Car
Give your engagement photography some vintage glam by using an old car to set the mood. This is a great way to infuse your photos with an element of “cool.”
Basketball
Do you and your sweetheart like keeping it competitive on the court? Use a basketball to bring your love of the game into your photos. Posing with both of your hands on the ball can be a great way to show off your ring and your hobby at the same time!
Balloons
Nothing says celebration quite like a bundle of balloons! They'll definitely bring a touch of whimsy to your photos. Plus, this is a great way to give a nod to what your wedding colors will be.
Accessories
Do you have a signature accessory that is just so you? Bring it into your session! Smaller props can be a great way to highlight your signature style.
Your Favorite Fictional Character
Couples who love Harry Potter can grab their house scarves and their trusty wand for a magical, themed session.
Picnic Set Up
A picnic set up can make your engagement photos feel more candid. Plus, with a whole picnic set up, there are so many options for you to play with… and snacks in case you get hungry.
Sunglasses
If you’re the type of person who is never seen without your signature wayfarers, rocking them in your engagement photos is a stylish way to stay true to you.
Feeling comfortable in front of the camera is important and it will give you an amazing portrait session. Props that allow you and your fiancé to be playful and forget about the camera can be the secret to getting out-of-this-world engagement photos!
