8 Ideas for a Fall Engagement Photo Session
When summer starts to wind down and the weather begins to cool, many engaged couples start to focus more on planning their upcoming wedding. For that reason - and because this time of year is just so gorgeous! - fall is an extremely popular time for taking engagement photos.
Fall in Tennessee is gorgeous, and no matter what you do or where you take your photos, they'll be filled with the changing leaves and golden sunlight. If you'd like to take your fall engagement photo session up a notch, here are some ideas for truly getting in the spirit of the season.
Pumpkin Patch
A field filled with ripe pumpkins makes a unique and fun backdrop for a fall engagement session. For bonus points, you can write your wedding date on a pumpkin and use the photo to create Save The Date cards.
Don't forget, fall is also a great time to visit an apple orchard, which also makes for a super cute engagement session.
On the Water
Get cozy in a canoe or rowboat and enjoy the fall colors from on the water. This makes for unique and beautiful photographs, and also makes engagement photo session feel like a romantic date.

Get Cozy
Wrap up together in a big blanket for some romantic and cozy engagement photos. Plaid blankets are all the rage, but we think a Smoky Mountain National Park blanket would be perfect for an East Tennessee couple. Another great idea is to wrap up in a sentimental quilt that's been handmade by a loved one.
