Well-planned and beautifully shot engagement photos are simply magical. As your partner gets down on one knee and you break into a massive smile, the tender moment will be preserved forever. And if the pictures feature a stunning backdrop, even better!
2022 has been the year of outdoor engagement photo shoots. Couples have been heading to meadows, forests, beaches, riversides, mountains, and waterfalls to make the special moment even more memorable and aesthetically appealing.
In this blog, we’ll focus on one of the most popular natural engagement photo shoot locations: waterfalls. If you want to pull off the classic waterfall engagement shoot, keep reading! Our engagement and wedding photographers are breaking it all down.
1. The Special Moment
It’s happening. As you get down on one knee and pop the question, ensure the photographer captures the moment in all its glory! We love this particular shot. The photographer has intentionally angled the shot so that we can’t quite see the bride-to-be’s face. Her surprised reaction was captured from other angles and revealed in the photo album much later to create the perfect impact.
2. The Ultimate Waterfall Portrait
Powerful, romantic, and visually satiating, this shot is what dreams are made of. The photographer captured the perfect portrait that offers an eyeful of the beautiful waterfall. The surrounding forestry makes this shot so much more impactful.
If you want to recreate this, head to the most beautiful local waterfall you can find. If you live in Maryland, head to Muddy Creek Falls, Cunningham Falls, or Gilpins Falls. Couples in Virginia should head to Crabtree Falls or Virginia Falls. And if you live in DC, plan a trip to Great Falls, Scott’s Run Falls, or Stubblefield Falls.
You’re in for a treat!
3. The Beginning of a Lifetime
This shot offers a little bit of everything: a sweet, tight hug, the ring in all its glory, and a hazy view of the backdrop. It’s the perfect recipe for a dreamy engagement portrait.
Shots that feature the engagement ring are a delight. We particularly love this photo because the bride-to-be’s twinkling smile gives the sparkling ring a run for its money.
This photo radiates joy, warmth, excitement, and tenderness. It’s an A+ in our books!
