We just had our engagement photos taken this weekend, and while I am absolutely dying to see them (the photographer said they will be done in two weeks), I figured this would be a good time to ask if you ladies are also doing photos and give you the opportunity to show off your favorites!
Re: Engagement photos!!!
Ours was part of a package too, and honestly I'm glad I took advantage of it. The photographer asked that I provide her feedback on things I liked/didn't like about angles, poses, and etc. so that when it comes to the big day, she can provide the best coverage possible. However I totally get not being a big fan of the camera...I'm used to being the one behind it not in front!
My photographer did say he wanted to use the engagement session to get to know our photo style and see our personalities. It helps him to take the best shots on the wedding day. Your point reminded me of this. I will have to keep that in mind. Seeing I don't usually get all dolled up, getting my makeup and hair done would be fun and I am a bit curious to see how being all dolled up translates on camera. Also, I told my MUA that my makeup trial could be used for my e-pics. I'd kill two birds with one stone I suppose.Having a pro do my makeup translated to the photos so much better than I could have done it. I think this is mostly because, although I do my make up everyday, I never do it as heavy as she did. I honestly almost did not recognize myself! HOWEVER, in the pictures I DID look like me. It took that extra makeup to stand out in photos and I did not look over done or anything even close.
Good luck! I am sure the photos will be amazing!
We did ours last October because we wanted to the fall colours that we would get in our September wedding photos.
