5 Reasons to Have Engagement Pictures

Resources

Are you on the fence about whether you should have engagement photos taken or not? You’re in the right place then, because here are 5 reasons to have engagement pictures taken by a photographer!

First off, this season of life – your engagement – is meant to be told through your photos. Whether you’re planning on a shorter engagement season (just a few months) or a longer engagement season (at least a year), it really is just a blip of time when you look at the entirety of your relationship 60+ years down the line. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. Both the little moments and the big moments. The imperfect moments that end up being perfect. The moments that tell your story.

5 Reasons to Have Engagement Pictures

1.These photos might be the only “professional” (aka not on your phone) pictures of you *not* in your wedding attire together.

2.These pictures can capture more of your personality and relationship! From what you wear to any props you want to bring, you get the opportunity to highlight your true selves and your relationship.

3.Engagement pics are the perfect photos to use for Save the Dates. You can also print them out to hang up on your walls at home and to give to gifts for your loved ones (you know your parents and grandparents are wanting one!).

4. Consider these photos a “practice run” for the real deal at your wedding. Most people don’t have a camera in their face for several hours each day, so engagement pictures give you a taste into mentally preparing for your wedding day!

5. Taking engagement pics allow you to get to know your wedding photographer (aka me!) so you’re completely comfortable with me by your side on your wedding day. Besides your partner, I’m probably the person you’ll see the most on your wedding day so let’s not be strangers!
