You're getting married! Now is a good time to get some of your first professional shots together as an engaged couple before the big day. Engagement pictures will add years of memories in your photo albums, hanging on your wall or placed in engagement announcements.

  1. When to take photos. You can take them anytime during your engagement, but it's a good idea to try to get those shots within the year prior to your wedding. This ensures up-to-date photos of you and your spouse-to-be. It is fitting to have the picture reflect the time of engagement, so if you propose in the summer, a Christmas engagement picture may not encompass the feel of your engagement.
  2. How to find a photographer? Ask friends or coworkers if they have any referrals to give you. Otherwise the Internet can be your best friend. Many photographers have websites with postings of their work. You can get a feel for the kind of pictures they will be able to take for you. If you already have a wedding photographer, inquire if they have package additions to the wedding photo package you've already decided on. You may be able to get a substantial discount. This will also allow you to become more familiar with the photographer before the wedding so they learn your style, likes and dislikes.engagement pictures
  3. Professional vs. candid. Some couples prefer professional shots with different locations and sometimes even props. Other couples may prefer something more candid. Professional photographers can provide candid shots, but you could also save money by doing it yourself or having a friend take the shots. Take care to wear clothing that contrasts with the surroundings and make sure the focus is on the couple, not the background. Candid shots can be more relaxed and really bring out the true personalities of the couple. Your final decision will depend on your style, budget and desired outcome. Some of the best engagement shots display the couple enjoying time together whether it be on a walk in the woods or at a fun restaurant....
