Some years ago I was contacted by a photographer whose best friend was about to be engaged.  The bride-to-be had requested a beautiful bouquet for her photo session and the photographer contacted me.  With a photo for inspiration of her gown, I designed this lovely bouquet for the engagement photography session.

The end result was a collection of great natural and formal shots of the bride-to-be and her fiancé.  If you look closely, the date of her wedding was even hand-painted on the ribbons!  Since that time, I have done an “engagement bouquet” for many, many brides-to be.

Typically they are not done in the palette of the wedding colors, but may be more suited to the season or the vibe of the location, as well as, the clothing the bride-to-be has selected for her engagement photos.  For the bride with a passion for flowers, a bouquet for your engagement photos is the perfect answer!
