If you’re planning a wedding or thinking about getting married in the near future, you may be deciding whether or not you should take professional engagement photos. This type of photography is a long pre-wedding tradition, and it also offers several practical benefits for couples who are getting ready to tie the knot.

Why You Should Have Professional Engagement Photos Taken

1. Gives You Practice for the Big Day

Many couples don’t have a lot of experience being in front of the camera together. During the engagement photo shoot, you’ll get more comfortable and learn what poses and mannerisms work for you before your wedding day. The session also gives you the chance to work closely with your photographer and gain confidence in their style and skills before the big day.

2. Provides You With Photos to Use in Wedding Decor

Incorporate the engagement photos into your wedding plans to weave your personality as a couple into the event. For example, use a photo for the save the date card and display the rest at the reception desk where guests will check-in.

3. It’s a Fun Experience

The photo shoot can also be a fun bonding experience for you two as a couple amidst the wedding planning whirlwind. Work together to choose a setting and theme that’s personal to your relationship, then spend the day taking photos together. Arrange the photos into an album so that you can look back fondly on a moment shared in your favorite place.
