Yep, it’s as simple as that.  When you take a deep breath, relax, and trust your photographer to capture you + your fiancé, that’s what the magic happens.  With years of experience, he or she will guide you into poses that will show off your love: whether that be playful walking or romantic kisses and embraces…maybe even a little bit of both?  One of the things I’ve learned after years in the industry is that letting go and trusting the process gives you the best results.  So, show up to your engagement session ready to love on your fiancé and to have fun.  Your photographer will do the rest.
