You thought asking the love of your life to marry you would be the most nerve-racking moment of your life. But now, here you stand oh-so-awkwardly posing for engagement photos, asking yourself, “Where do I put my hands? Do I look straight at the camera? How much PDA is too much…or not enough?!”
But why is this simple photo session so damn awkward? They’re the first in a string of events (showers, bachelor/ettes, wedding) that feature you and your partner in the spotlight. So yeah, this new experience can feel strange and forced. “Just stand in front of that random graffiti wall and look like you’re in love!” directs your photographer. Ugh. Easier said than done.
But lately, we’ve been eyeing some of our favorite wedding photographers bringing out the big guns: Cars. And you know what? We love the idea of using a prop like this. It gives you a physical purpose and, most importantly, something that can help translate the connection you have with your partner to the camera.
