    It's a personal choice. I've been with my fianc for 9 yrs as well and were doing them, we also got them included in our photography package if they weren't I wouldn't have paid extra. I like the idea of taking professional photos an having them on te std's. I also plan on buying a canvas made one so our guests can sign it as they come into reception room.

    I don't think the amount of time you're been with your FI refects upon if you should or shouldn't get them done. If you want to, do it, if it's not important, don't. I emailed my photog and they offered to do it for free so we are. Had they not, we wouldn't.

    i was thinking of not doing them, to cut down expenses, but most of the photographers i've been meeting  with have them for about $200.  I figured its a good way to 'test" out the photographer.

  • They're not a requirement, just more of a 'fun' thing to do. FI and I aren't doing engagement pics either, we wouldn't really be utilizing them anyway.

  • Mine were part of my package and I felt it was a good was to test out and get to know the photographer.  We've always wanted to get professional photos done of ourselves just to have.  I don't see how the length of time you've been together has any bearing on the decision.

  • I agree with PP's it is a good way to test out your photographer. It is included in our photography package also so we are doing them. Also FI and I don't have many pictures together that we haven't taken ourselves so we figured why not...

  • FI and I have only been together for 2 years and didn't have many professional photos together ( only Christmas) so we decided to do them. Like everyone says, it's totally up to you.
  • we are utilizing the heck out of engagement photos. In fact, we are having 3 different sessions with 3 different "Themes". But I'm a photographer and he totally gets into that type of stuff, so we are VERY excited.
