Questions about your engagement photo shoot? How do you choose the right photographer to capture one of the most special occasions of your life? From venues, to outfits, to the time of day, all the factors that go into creating those lifelong photos can be intimidating to approach, and leave couples confused on where to begin. If you're reading this post, you might be asking yourself: 

• How do we find a wedding photographer?
• What do I wear in my engagement photos?
• Where should I have my engagement photo shoot?
• Should I have the same photographer for my engagement photos and wedding?

Most couples aren’t used to being photographed professionally so a little advance planning will go a long way. In today's episode, I am joined by Dana Arnold, a professional wedding photographer, to share her seven tips on making those engagement and wedding photos family mantle worthy!
