Top 4 Reasons You Should Take Engagement Photos

The Key Factors of Why Engagement Photos Are Important

Congratulations, you just got engaged! Now that you have your life partner so many aspects of wedding planning begin. One thing a lot of newly engaged couples hear about are engagement sessions. With all the craziness (and cost!) of wedding planning, your schedule is already packed, so why take these engagement photos?

Engagement photos are an important part of the planning process for many couples. Not only do they give you a chance to get comfortable with the idea of being in front of the camera, but they also allow you to communicate important details about your relationship to future family members and friends.

We have put together the top four reasons why you should get engagement photos taken.

Create a Beautiful Visual Reminder of Your Engagement.

One of the best reasons to take engagement photos is because they can be used in so many ways. These photos are important for so many sentimental reasons but don’t forget to consider how helpful a new set of photos are from a logistical standpoint. There are so many ways to use them pre-wedding, and even for your wedding.

Print them on canvas and hang them on your wall as a reminder of how beautiful life can be when two people love each other more than anything else in the world! Bonus, these canvases can be showcased at your reception.

Use them as guest book signatures at your wedding! Your guests will love looking through these pictures and seeing your love. You can put one photo in a frame and have people sign around it, or put together a photo album for guests to sign.

Use them on your wedding website to help showcase your love! These make a great addition to any candid and throwback photos you want to feature.

Engagement Photos Help You Loosen Up in Front of the Camera

Engagement photos not only capture the love between you and your fiancé but also help you get comfortable in front of the camera. If you’ve never been photographed before or aren’t comfortable with being in front of others, they can be nerve-wracking experiences. But since they typically take place before your wedding day, they give you an opportunity to get used to being in front of a camera and posing for pictures. You don’t have to feel awkward when it comes time for your wedding photos!

Have fun together!

Engagement photos are a great way to spend time with your partner. These photos are meant to be fun and relaxed; they’re not intended to be serious or stiff. In fact, the best engagement photo sets include some candid shots where you’re laughing or smiling naturally.

An engagement photo session is also an opportunity to take a step back from wedding planning and reconnect with your love. You can select locations that have a special meaning for you as a couple or reflect how you like to spend your leisure time together…and then let your affection flow!

Get to Know Your Photographer

Your wedding day is a long day from start to finish. Besides your partner, you will spend a lot of time that day with your wedding photographer. Depending on the amount of time you have booked, they could be with you from getting ready to your grand exit. Spending time with them before the big day during an engagement session is a great way to make sure that they mesh with you. You can spend time during your session swapping stories, laughs, and getting to know each other on a personal level. This will also help your photographer get to know you and your partner and what makes you both unique.
