Beach Engagement Photo Ideas · Time of Day

The best time of the day for beach engagement photos is in the morning or early evening. The light is diffused at this time and the shadows are not as harsh. Although, photos can be taken at any time, I recommend scheduling your beach photoshoot in the morning or during sunset. Overcast days are also a good time for beach engagement photos!

Beach Engagement Pictures: What to Wear

I recommend bringing multiple outfits for your beach engagement pictures. I love neutral colors because of the timeless quality. When planning your beach engagement photography, think about variety. One look can be casual and comfy. Another can be formal and dramatic. You can also bring swimsuits if you’re feeling adventurous and want to splash around in the water.

Beach Engagement Photography · What to Bring

For your beach engagement photography, I recommend bringing water, snacks, multiple outfits, towels, sandals, blanket, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, accessories, etc. I also recommend planning so you’re not scrambling last minute. Prepare a bag a couple of days before your photoshoot.
