Consider your location when choosing your wardrobe — you'll look right at home wearing flannels, jeans, and cowboy boots during a photo shoot on a farm.
Don't be afraid to get a little silly during your photos — those funny, carefree moments are the ones you're going to want to look back on ten years from now.
If time alllows, take your engagement photos a year before your wedding so that you're capturing the same season. This gives you the opportunity to play around with some seasonally-appropriate ideas for your wedding photos before the big day.
If you're not used to being in front of the camera, it can be a challenge to look natural while posing. Go for a walk instead — it instantly loosens you up and leads to better photos.
Take your photos late in the day so that you can capture the sunset — the colorful sky instantly transforms your photos from ordinary to extraordinary.
