You’re getting married! Whether you’re planning your big day all on your own or with the help of a wedding planner, one of the most exciting things on your to-do list is the engagement session. This is your chance to get some adorable photos of you and your soon-to-be-spouse in all your lovey-dovey glory!

But as exciting as your engagement session is, it can also make some couples a little nervous. Not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and you may be nervous about how you will look, what you should wear, and how you should pose.

Have no fear! Here are some tips to help you feel completely prepared for your engagement session.

Your wedding day allows you to be the star of the show.

Putting on pretty lingerie and strutting your stuff may seem intimidating, but with the right attitude—and a boudoir photographer who can make it empowering and amazing--your session will be a great experience.
