Engagement photos?

[KSigkid]

We had them done, more for parents and for our hometown papers to announce the engagement. There was no pressure, it was just something we wanted. Plus, it was included with the package we purchased from our wedding photographer.

I'm happy we did them, they came out really well. Plus, (as someone who doesn't always like getting his picture taken) it got me used to the whole thing for when we got the wedding photos taken.

If it's included in your wedding photo package, I'd say go for it. Other than that, I think it's a waste of money. If you need a pic for the local paper (do your really need a pic for that?) I personally wouldn't spend a chunk of change on it. I'd find a friend with a good camera and have them take a couple.

we had them done- they were included as part of the wedding package. And since we were engaged for a year and a half, we had the engagement pictures taken toward the beginning of it and then a year had passed before the wedding pictures.

And I agree about having some nices pictures of the two of you that are not "all wedding-y"

No, we didn't take them. I actually had never heard of them before, but I like the idea.

We did them. It was nice because we included our Boston Terrier in a few of the pictures. We also used one of the pictures for a large signature mat for all our guests to sign. Its hanging up in our bedroom now.
