You’re engaged – congratulations!! And now you want to commemorate this season with photos, but you’re not into the traditional posed photos in a random field somewhere. I get it! Your photos should capture your personalities and your love for each other and be filled with just as much meaning as you put in every aspect of your relationship.
I’m a photographer based out of North Idaho and I specialize in capturing adventurous, natural, and personal photos. I’m all about creating a photo experience that is personalized to the couple I’m working with so that they end up with photos that they love!
That means breaking away from the stiff poses in a random location and custom tailoring each session to the couple I’m working with. I believe that your engagement photos can, and should, reflect your personalities. That’s why I like to include some non-traditional elements to my engagement session.
This post is going to show you some of my favorite engagement photo ideas for your Coeur d’Alene engagement session.
Why You Should Have an Engagement Session
If you’re on the fence about getting engagement photos, I want to encourage you to do it! This is a really special season in your life, and getting photos taken will help you remember it. If you’ve never had professional photos taken before, this is a great excuse to! You’ll get some beautiful images to hang on your walls, use on your wedding invitations, and to document this season of your relationship.
If you’re wedding photographer includes engagement photos in their packages, this is a great opportunity to connect with them before your wedding day. This will give you reassurance when your wedding day arrives and help you feel comfortable with them to get the best photos possible.

Where to Have your Engagement Session in Coeur d’Alene
This is really up to you and your photographer. When I do engagement sessions, I like to chat with my couples first to find out if they have any special locations that hold meaning to them and their relationship. If you don’t have anywhere in mind, that’s okay! Your photographer should be able to make some suggestions to help you find the perfect spot.
