New York and New Jersey Wedding Photographer, Michelle Behre adores working beside bridal clients to plan their dream engagement sessions. From overlooking the Hudson River at the Battery, to viewing the sunset glittering over the waters at Cape May Beach, to the stunning Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia… There are an abundance of beautiful destinations between New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to choose from. We love them all! We cannot wait to begin curating your romantic engagement session with NJ Wedding Photographers, Michelle Behre!
As a wedding photographer, it is upmost important to make that engagement session so special to your and your fiancé. We could spend all day recommend beautiful venues, yet if it does speak to you and your love story, unless you’re up for making new memories together! So while curating your engagement session it’s important to communicate how you’d like to share your love story and commemorate this chapter.
Your session is designed by wedding photographers to compliment your love story. Your session is designed to curate your wedding day and we are so thrilled to begin planning those very steps!
Here are just a few tips to get us started on creating that EPIC, thoughtfully curated, and effortless engagement session preserving these moments to last a lifetime.
With love and joy,
Michelle
Plan Your Session Aesthetic and Vibe
While working beside New York and New Jersey bridal clients, it is always my goal and best intention to design a romantic engagement session that best compliments the clients wedding and provides a great introduction to the wedding day. Engagement session photographs will be printed and utilized for Save the Dates, your wedding website, and your wedding day guestbook. With that being said and while planning your session and all session details, you want to think about the vision of your day and creating that chic, scroll-stopping and romantic engagement session for you and your fiancé. Wedding Photographers, Michelle Behre will guide you through each step of the planning process. Stumped on where to begin? Inquire today to learn more!
Execute That Aesthetic
Styling is key while coming to sessions. It is essential to first create a ‘vision board’ together and once you have a vision finalized, then move forward with nailing down the epic details for creating an aesthetically pleasing session.
Book Your Venue(s)
Once your engagement session vision is accomplished, execute on the first big step, choosing your dream engagement session venue! Whether this be at a (what may seem like) a public location or private, it’s always best to inquire with the venue and while photograph at their property to see if a permit fee is required to photograph at their property for the time planned. If a permit fee is required, applications are required to be completed 4-6 month(s) prior to the session. You wouldn’t want to show up to your session and be asked to leave, righttt? Thorough planning is key for a very successful session!
Outsource the Talent & Book Vendor Team(s)
If your vision includes talent such as outfit changes and accessories, which may include on-location styling, hair, makeup, furniture rentals (example: champagne tower and glasses), vehicles (antique vehicles), or furniture, it would be ideal to then inquire with vendors one at a time and book your vendors for your session.
Invite a Friend to Care for your Fur Baby
If you are planning on bringing a fur baby, I recommend to request for your Mom, maid-of-honor (or bestie) to tag along and please care for your pup if you plan on incorporating your fur baby!
