With so many exciting elements to a wedding, it’s easy to overlook the importance of engagement photos. But for many, engagement photos do more than just record the moment—they capture a vital part of the wedding journey and serve as reminders of the commitment you and your partner have made. They are such a great thing to have for so many reasons! So, I’m here to tell you why engagement photos are a must!

As a photographer, I know firsthand the value of engagement photos. Not only are they a great way for couples to get to know me and become comfortable in front of the camera, they also set the stage for the wedding day itself—preparing the couple for the photos that will be taken during the ceremony and reception. They can also serve as lifelong reminders of the joy and excitement of the days leading up to the wedding. Ideally, they should express the couple’s personalities, capturing their unique relationship.

Overall, engagement photos are an essential part of any wedding experience. From creating cherished memories to honing your photography plan, these photos do double-duty—capturing moments in time that will remain with you for the rest of your life! What’s more, these photos can help to ensure that whatever plans you have for the big day come together perfectly. By working with a professional photographer before the wedding, you have the opportunity to work out the creative aspects of the wedding day’s photography. Plus, you’ll have you these photos to look back on of your engagement for years and years to come!
