Lately, I have been receiving several client inquires concerning engagement pictures -- the why, the when, the where, the how?! Similar to a past mini-series featured on Lucky In Love's Blog called "The Wedding Cake Breakdown," I will give you a complete look at all things Engagement Photos - starting with the WHY!
First thing that should be known, engagement pictures are not required - in fact, the whole idea of engagement pictures did not even exist several years ago. That being stated, these says, engagement photos are more expected than ever. The purpose of these premarital pics is, for one, they provide an opportunity for you and your man to be snapped in a casual setting. It is nice to have professional pictures to put around your house without seeing white gowns and tuxedos at every glance. Secondly, engagement photo shoots allow you much more photo opportunity time with just you and your man compared to your wedding day. There is about a million and two photos that have to be shot on the BIG day, and you + the husband is just a small portion of that. Lastly, and most importantly, engagement photos are typically used for Save The Dates. Save the Dates have become more necessarily over the years - and I cute, casual shot of the both of you is a perfect medium for guests' reminder.
My suggestion would be to definitely invest in engagement photos! The moments captured in a two-three hour shoot of just you both will be timeless. Here are some of my favorite shots of the happy couples, and be sure to check out the continued series on all things Engagement Photos...next up, the WHEN:
