Engagement Photos

sruda · September 2010

what do people use these for. Is this just so you have them or are they used for stuff in the wedding? Just wondering if they are necessary.

They aren't necessary. We made a our wedding sign-in guest book out of ours. We also displayed a couple of 5x7s at the wedding. Some people also use them for their STDs and also Thank You cards. In most cases, a session is offered as part of a photographer's package so that is why brides and grooms take advantage of it.

We used one of the photos for our "save the date" cards and then we had a photo enlarged and matted for our guest book (guests used sharpie pens to write something on the matting). If you aren't wanting a traditional guest book, I hightly recommend it. We loved how it turned out.

We never really did an engagement session, but I took a really fantastic photo of our hands on one of our first dates, and we used that for our engagement announcements. I think most people use it as an excuse to get good, professional photography done, rather than just the standard bar snapshots - but it's entirely superfluous. If you don't feel the need for them, then there's no need for them.

There isn't a need for them but up until we take our E-pics, the only semi-professional pictures of us consist of us wearing Old Time Western Gear. It was part of our package and we will probably use them when we run the engagement announcement in the paper.
