These days, engagement photos have the rep for being outdated and somewhat tacky or boring. I believe it’s time to take a new look at the old tradition.
These kinds of photos were originally used as something to run along with the engagement announcement in your hometown newspaper. Now that that tradition has gone the way of hope chests and dowries, I say there’s still a reason to do them. “A lot of people use them with save-the-date cards,”. “But one of the most important reasons to have an engagement photo session is that it gives you a chance to get comfortable with the photographer before the wedding, which will likely give you better photos on that day.”
