Fall Engagement Photo Locations

To start the engagement photos, whether you and your significant other are world travelers or would rather just Netflix and chill, location is everything for making your engagement photos unique. Have a go-to coffee shop where the barista knows both of your orders? Or a brewery where you meet for happy hour every week? Use these personal spots as inspiration for your engagement shoot to save the memories of these places for years to come. Or revisit the spot of your first date together for a few of your photos, even if it’s for your eyes only.

Colors for Your Engagement Photos

For a timeless, striking look to your photos, opt to have your photographer edit your favorites in black and white. The contrast can be simple but will result in stunning shots. On the opposite end of the spectrum (pun intended), you can use the unique colors of your shoot’s locale to find a color palette that puts any Instagram filter to shame. Check out these gorgeous fall engagement photos and get inspired.
