I always encourage my couples to bring simple props to their engagement session that might represent their relationship in some way. I think it’s so much fun to brainstorm ideas that represent their relationship, story, interests/hobbies and then incorporate those into their engagement session. I thought it would be fun to compile a list of engagement shoot inspiration and theme ideas to spark ideas. Hopefully, I’ll continue to add this list and if you have any ideas of your own that you’d like to contribute please feel free to share!

I love the Laundromat idea! For my engagement shoot, we are doing a pinic at the drive in (where we had our first date) popcorn, candy etc. Plus a bunch of other little props, picture frame, chalkboard, wooden letter, scrabble. The possibilities are endless!
