In this blog post, we will discuss a few different ways to use your engagement images and working with your wedding photographer during the engagement session.
One of the best ways to use your engagement images is for save-the-date cards and/or wedding day invitations. Your photographer should be able to order these types of cards for you or you could make your own. Either way, your guest will be delighted when they see your beautiful cards with your engagement photos announcing your wedding.
If you want some great decorations for your wedding look no further than your engagement session images from your photographer. These will look amazing. Let’s look at an example of how some of our couples have used their images as a decoration. Imagine your guest walk into your reception and the first image that greets them is a large movie poster print of you and your fiance’ embracing while the sun is setting. What a beautiful and memorable way to greet your guest. We have also seen party favors in the form of playing cards of some of the engagement images. You can then disperse the other favorite engagement session images around the guest sign in, at the cake table, at your ceremony entrance, etc.
Many weddings that we have photographed have images from the engagement at each table. Another great idea is to put the engagement images into an album for guests to sign. This makes a beautiful heirloom piece that will allow you to look back on all the wonderful guests at your wedding. Wedding guest albums are in some of our collections.
The possibilities are limitless… use your imagination!
Having an engagement session before your wedding will give you a chance to work with the photographer who will be with you at your wedding all day. Why is this important? When you get to know the photographer and he gets to know you, you will become more comfortable with him taking your pictures. The photographer will get to know your style more in-depth. In addition, you will also get to know his style of posing. These two things combined will make your wedding images look more natural, which in turn will equal amazing images for your album!
