1. Consider your style

First and foremost, it's important to consider your personal style and what type of setting would best represent you as a couple.

2. Think about the season

The time of year can also play a role in your location choice. If you're planning your engagement photos in the fall, you may want to consider a park or wooded area with colorful foliage. In the summer, a beach or lake setting might be more appropriate. Consider the weather and what type of setting would be comfortable and enjoyable for you during that time of year.
