How to relax & get the perfect engagement pictures

Wedding Photography: Nikos Mylonas

Most of the couples, become “models” in front of the camera when it comes the time for their engagement session. If you ask for our opinion, better then, than on their wedding day. There is a relative awkwardness when someone asks you to pose in front of a professional photographer. We get that. But there are some tips, so you’ll get the best engagement pictures.

• THINK IT AS AN ADVENTURE
  Pick the location carefully. Hold hands and live the adventure together. Make a day out of it. After a while you’ll forget you are there for your engagement session and the result will be natural and perfect.
• PICK YOUR CLOTHES CAREFULLY
  Pick something you feel like yourself. Both of you. Forget high heels if they tire you. Or don’t make your fiancé wear a suit and a tie if he doesn’t want it. Be yourselves and enjoy the day!
• FORGET EVERYTHING AND FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER
  This is the greatest secret we could share with you. Forget there is people around you (if there is), or that the photographer is right there too. Relax, hug each other, kiss, hold hands and enjoy the moments.
• TAKE YOUR TIME
  Don’t rush to finish the session. Take your time and wait for the right light. From sunrise to sunset don’t miss a second and take advantage of the beautiful colors of the sky for the greatest pictures!
