Top Fall Engagement, Wedding & Anniversary Photo Ideas

Anniversary Photo Ideas

Fall is here bringing a new season as well as amazing opportunities for anniversary photo ideas, engagement photo ideas, and wedding photo ideas!  It is important to capture your love at any stage of your relationship and these top photo ideas will have you enjoying the season and each other even more this season!

Leaf Kisses: Whether you’re capturing an engagement, wedding or anniversary kiss, leaves fluttering around you is a great way to celebrate the Fall season and add motion and visual interest to your photos.  Word to the wise…this is nearly impossible if you’re taking “selfies”.  Ideally you need a photographer and someone to toss the leaves at the perfect moment.

Pumpkins + Rings: We adore wedding bangs placed on pumpkin stems.  White pumpkins are more elegant but orange pumpkins add great color contrast.  If you’re feeling crafty you can paint or carve your wedding date on the pumpkin before snapping your photo.  A flower girl or ring bearer holding the pumpkin would be another fantastic photo to capture.

Apples: Incorporating apples into photos always adds a Fall element.  You could do an engagement shoot in an orchard or an anniversary photo sipping apple cider at sunset.
