More and more couples are taking engagement photos these days, and with good reason — it's a wonderful way to practice with your photographer and get more comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. But the question remains: What do you actually do with those photos? Sure, you can use them for your save-the-dates, but that isn't your only option.
Have you ever looked at those beautiful, perfectly posed engagement photos and thought to yourself, "That's so not us?" Well, you're not alone. At the end of the day, you want your pictures to reflect your personality, so don't try to force things that feel unnatural. If you're a laid-back couple, say, "I do" to super casual engagement sessions rather than getting all fancy with your outfit or your locale. You'll look so much more comfortable if you just stay true to who you are. Not sure how to nail your photos?
Get ready for a triple dose of fashion, wedding planning and honeymoon ideas with our annual 3-in-1 issue!

Who says there's an age limit on the flower girl role? 28-year-old Patrick Casey stole the show as the "flower man" at his cousin Andria's wedding.
"They've been together a while, and I started lobbying to be the flower man before they were even engaged," Casey told ABC News. "They loved the idea, and I was beyond excited they said yes once they were officially engaged."
The flower basket he used carried sentimental value — it's the same one Andria carried down the aisle two decades ago when the duo were flower girl and ring bearer in a family member's wedding.
"Losing" your best friend to married life can be a tough pill to swallow — many fear their friendships will never be the same again. High school sweethearts Brittney and Kody decided to poke fun at this idea by including Kody's best friend, Mitch, in their humorous engagement photo:
