If you’re newly engaged and want to capture this exciting time, consider using these fall engagement photo ideas!

Autumn Colors

One of the awesome things about a Michigan fall is that there are beautiful colors everywhere you go! Visit an open field, local cider mill or quiet road to snap you and your fiancé among the changing scenery. Consider bringing cider and donuts or fall decorations to customize your photos.

Fall Fashion

Engagement photos are a great way to showcase you and your future spouse’s personal style. Mix and match autumn apparel such as flannels, boots, scarves, sweaters and cardigans. Be sure to coordinate with your partner so you aren’t clashing, and bring a blanket for some cozy shots if the weather is cooler.

Playful Pumpkins

Nothing says fall more than some pumpkin props! Have a date night carving pumpkins before your engagement shoot or enlist the help of a crafty friend. Use them as a side prop or make them the focal point of the photo by putting your wedding date on display.

Lots of Leaves

Use surrounding leaves or pick up some artificial ones (in early fall) to use in your photo shoot. Have your photographer snap a few festive pictures as you toss them up in the air. Hold up a leaf to cover a kiss for an artsy shot or have your ring resting on top of a few leaves for a close-up of your bling.

Football Fans

Show off your team pride and celebrate your upcoming nuptials with football-themed photos. Head to a local school or your favorite team’s stadium for some on-site shots. Feel free to wear jerseys and bring a football for images that are sure to be a touchdown!
