We opted to not bother with "engagement photos." Frankly, this sounds a bit of a wedding industry scam to me. It's not like there was a photographer there when we got engaged to capture the moment. I mean, that would've been kind of cool, but it definitely would've given me a heads-up that something was about to happen ("um...Kevin...why is there a man with a camera in my living room?"). I don't think we looked any different after we got engaged, and we have a million pictures from before then, and I'm sure will have a million (or two or five) more.
I do get it, though. Who doesn't want a professional photo shoot? And it's great to have lovely professional photos of yourself. With the wedding coming so fast, we didn't think it was worth it. By the time they got turned around and printed, it would have been long past the time when we would've done anything practical with them like include them on a save the date. And, we're getting beautiful lovely photos taken of us...on our wedding day.
But I say all this to introduce this awesome site featured on one of the wedding blogs I've been reading:
Awkward Engagement Photos
Glad that wasn't us!
