Creative Props for your Engagments
With a fun backdrop and interactive props, your engagement photography session is the perfect opportunity to capture the excitement for your upcoming wedding. From signage to sandcastles and even an appearance by man's best friend, there is something for everyone. Take a peek inside for a bit of fun and festive engagement prop inspiration.
Show your Hobbies
Don't be afraid to show off your personality in your engagement portraits! Include pieces that reflect your favorite past times. We always recommend thinking about your day-to-day hobbies and incorporating elements as props. Are the two of you musicians, sports fanatics, bookworms, competitive gamers, dancers, or travelers? All these make great options to get your session started so you both feel more at ease in front of the camera.
Signs & Letters
Words and letters are a great way to add a little extra oomph to your photos, especially if you’re hoping to turn one of the photos into a “save the date” or beautiful print for your mantlepiece. If you’re feeling crafty, consider designing your own signage! Check out these techniques for DIY signs that will help you get those creative juices flowing. We love wooden initials, chalkboard signs and banners!
Food
One of our favorite trends has got to be a good cozy session at home with some tasty treats, or seeing a couple of toast to their engagement! We can’t think of a better way to express your love other than with a bubbly glass of champagne or with a scrumptious loaf of homemade bread, can you? Cheers!
Seasonal Props
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box! Gather some fresh flowers, bring along an umbrella (we’ll make sure it won’t rain on your parade!), or snuggle under a blanket with your loved one. Feeling inspired by your surroundings? Have some fun and create your own backdrop!
Recreate how/where you met
What better way to celebrate a couple's journey together than capturing the location where they met? For this couple, taking photos in their college anatomy class evokes fond memories of their early connection. This setting adds a personal and authentic touch to their images, allowing them to share their love in a place that symbolizes the beginning of it all.
Bring your pets!
Your pets are all over Instagram, Snapchat, and the refrigerator, so why not include them in your engagement portraits, too? While they may not be props per se, bringing along your furry friend(s) is always a favorite option for an engagement session!
