ok ok ok... good engagement poses

(sussy and bil's actual engagement shot)

ok lovies,
chillax. engagies aren't really THAT hard.
when in doubt, go tight headshot, and DON'T pose.

be careful to wear clothing that doesn't date the photo too much... you may think leggings and giant brain squeezers are cute now, but your kids will ridicule you to no end...
avoid wild prints and keep the neckline interesting.

wear SIMPLE makeup. no smokey eyes or crazy lipstick. less is more.

and PRACTICE your fiance's smile.... make him look in the mirror and practice his "real" smile. that sounds ridiculous, but you wouldn't believe how many guys don't know how to photograph well....

here are a few of my favorites....

the following are from sussy:

i recognize these are bridal/groomals but we're looking at poses, folks...

the rest are matt clayton:
i don't know this cat but i think he makes even the most average people look like rock stars.
be careful not to get to modely (he REALLY does make everyone people look like models)... they're great for your living room but a bit much to send out.

happy engaging!
