Downtown Editorial Engagement Shoot | Wichita, Kansas

Ben and Maddie’s editorial engagement shoot in downtown Wichita had such a neat vibe! The weather was perfect – sunny and calm, giving us that dreamy golden light we all love. They rocked some serious poses that added a touch of romance and sophistication to the photos. I’m excited to dive into what makes a shoot like this more of an editorial style and how we can bring some of that magic to your own sessions!

Maddie had a beautiful vision for their engagement shoot – she wanted it to feel editorial with an art-deco vibe. I scouted downtown spots to bring her vision to life. And let me tell you, this couple absolutely nailed it with the outfits! You can read more about how to choose the perfect outfit for your engagement shoot here. I’m so glad Maddie shared her vision with me. I love adding special touches to make each session unique for each couple.

What Makes an Editorial Engagement Shoot

When you’re going for the vibe of an editorial engagement shoot, it’s all about the poses, locations, and adding that artistic touch. Think about poses that feel a bit more serious and intimate, capturing those special moments between the couple. Next, scout out locations with distinctive architecture or unique textures that add to the editorial feel. And when it comes to artistry, play with lighting, composition, and styling to create a visual story. Editorial style aims to tell a story, not only about the couple, but also about their love in a manner that is both captivating and beautiful.

Let me just start with, from the very first communication, this lady was amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable and does her best to get to the bottom of your vision. Ashley was not only so sweet, but she also produced the MOST AMAZING engagement pictures for my fiancé and me. She is amazing, we HIGHLY recommend her!!! – Maddie
