When to Schedule Your Engagement Photography Session: A Timeline for the Newly Engaged
Getting engaged is an exciting milestone, and an engagement session is the perfect way to celebrate your love and tell your story. But when is the best time to schedule your session? Here’s a helpful guide for planning your engagement photos.
The Best Time for Engagement Photos
The best time to take engagement photos depends on how and when you plan to use them. Consider the following timelines:
Right after getting engaged – Capture the fresh excitement and joy of the proposal.
6-8 months before your wedding – Perfect if you want to use the photos for save-the-dates.
Seasonal preference – Choose a season that fits your vision (fall leaves, snowy romance, or golden summer sunsets).
When to Book Your Engagement Session
Booking early ensures you get your choice of dates, along with the best location and lighting conditions. If you have a specific season or location in mind, scheduling at least 2-3 months in advance is ideal. though I always do my best for those who are working on a shorter timeline or made the last minute decision that the do want beautiful, professional engagement photos.
