I’m a big believer in having an engagement shoot. It’s a brilliant way to get to know your photographer and you’ll start to feel comfortable in front of the camera. For many of us, it’s awkward posing for photos, so having an engagement shoot gives you a chance to relax well before your Big Day!
But what do you do with your engagement photos? There are plenty of fabulous ways to get the most out of your engagement photos, so take a look at our creative ideas below:
- Share them on social media and update your profile pics.
- Add the photos to your wedding website, along with the story of how you met! (Here’s how to write your story)
- Use the photos in your Save The Dates.
- Get the photos printed as Save The Date magnets for your guests to display on their fridge.
- Pop an engagement photo into your invitation envelope package.
- Include some photos in your wedding programme.
- Add one of your photos to the cover of your wedding guestbook.
