How to Take Beautiful Engagement Photos—Without Looking Too Posed

Last week, I wrote about how to book your wedding photographer. Now, I'd love to share my engagement photos with you! Brides-to-be often use these images for their engagement announcement, Save-the-Dates, or to display as artwork during the reception. Since those near and dear to you will be viewing these photos on multiple occasions, it’s extremely important that you are happy with the end result. (I’m pretty sure most couples want to avoid looking awkward or uncomfortable in pictures they are going to see time and time again!). To ensure that your photo shoot is both positive and productive, learn from my experience and follow the tips I’ve listed below.

1. Photographers Wanted: After Michael proposed in July 2010, we decided on a two-year engagement and wanted to run an announcement in our local newspaper right away. Since we were nowhere near ready to book a photographer, but still wanted a professional picture for our announcement, we turned to our family friend, Sally Stilwell. It is important to note that the majority of wedding photographers offer FREE engagement photos as part of their package. Take advantage of this opportunity! Your budget will thank you.
