Props are a way to not only have fun with your engagement session, but also play a key role in showcasing your personality as a couple! Don’t be afraid to be playful and creative!

We have put together a list of 10 items that can transform your engagement pictures from ordinary, to extraordinary! 

  1. Banners

Whether you are a traditional bride or a DIY aficionado, holding up a banner with your set wedding date, or your married name, is a cute way to add sentimental value to your photos.

  1. Beverages

Use ordinary items that speak to you as a couple, like a simple pint of beer at your favorite bar, or a hot brew from your favorite coffee shop.  Writing cute phrases on the cup or napkin isn’t a bad idea either!
