Sequoia National Park Engagement Photos // Melissa + Alex

Here are a couple tips to help prepare for your engagement shoot!

-Try to do it on a weekday!! There will be less people/crowds killing the vibe at your photoshoot location!!

-Choose outfits with natural colors! They tend to photograph better & make your skin tones dreamier! Aka try to avoid neon colors or distracting patterns to keep the attention on your beautiful faces!!

-Dress according to the weather as best you can!! You don’t want to be freezing OR sweating your booties off!

-Ladies – use this day as your wedding make-up/hair trial day!! Nothing better than being pampered and relaxed right before a photoshoot!

-Don’t be afraid to include props! Motorcycles, puppies, musical instruments, champagne, you name it! This photoshoot is yours so make it as unique as you want!

“I found Toni on Instagram and I knew instantly that I wanted her for our engagement photos. Her style and eye for beautiful photos is unparalleled! When we first saw our photos, we were amazed at how they came out. I got emotional as we watched our slideshow and thought it so perfectly fit us as a couple. We both loved how Toni went the extra mile in making us feel comfortable. The whole experience was so much fun and I cannot wait to book her for our wedding. I highly recommend Toni for all your photography needs (:” — Melissa

Here is the time to get personal. Share a little bit about yourself and your story in a way that helps visitors connect with you. Let them in on your “why” and what lights you up about the work you do.

Keep it warm, human, and relatable - this isn’t about listing credentials, but about giving people a sense of who you are and what it’s like to work with you. Add a touch of personality, quirks, or values so they feel like they’re getting to know the real you.
