Hey guys!I was wondering what your opinion on engagement photos are? do you need to have them? is it a must to have them? I've had some people who aren't engaged give me their opinion but I want to know what everyone on here thinks of them!

Re: Engagement Photos... YAY or NAY?
We did them because neither of us had ever had any professional pictures taken other than school pictures so we wanted to get used to having a photographer follow us around. It was also nice to meet the photographer and spend some time with him since he's going to be with us day.
We honestly want to do them so that we can have some good, timeless photos together. I understand that wedding photos will ultimately trump our engagement photos, but at the same time, we are thinking of using ours as wall art in our home, and we felt like the engagement pics were a better choice to display just some really good pictures of us, without being too formal. If that makes any sense. We are having ours done next Sunday, and we both have chosen classic outfits, and a wide open field and a creek to shoot at (we live in the country on about 100 acres). But this choice is definitely up to you and your FI. Just keep in mind how you wil use them later and that should help you make your decision. Congrats by the way!
They were included in our package, and I LOVE them! They got us comfortable with our photographer and with being in front of the camera. We also had some great pictures that we were able to use for our guest book, my shower, and will use for our rehearsal dinner. They aren't necessary, but I'm happy that we have them! Plus it was a really fun day and got us even more excited for the wedding! Here are a few of our favorites!
