Congratulations, you are now engaged! The wedding planning fun has begun, but do not forget that the moment from when you shout “Yes!”, to the moment you say “I do,” is truly a short window of time. Be sure to document your engagement period through gorgeous photography.

Engagement photos are not only a way to preserve your memories of the wedding preparation time, but they can also be used within other aspects of your wedding planning as well. An engagement photo session is a great addition to complement this momentous time in your life, as no longer a girlfriend or boyfriend, and not yet a husband or wife.

When it comes to planning weddings, it is important to minimize the possibility of surprise. No one wants to deal with a complete shock on their wedding day! Planning is our passion here at Contagious Events, and we strive to provide helpful information to all of our Brides and Grooms-to-be, which is why we have gathered the top reasons as to why you should not miss out on taking engagement photos, so be sure to continue reading to gain some knowledge:

Capturing your love story. You and your partner are unique in your own way: your relationship is one-of-a-kind, and it should certainly be showcased! Now that you’re engaged, capturing the candid happiness that it has brought you can be cherished for the many years to come. Doll yourself up, choose outfits that reflect your personalities and smile for the camera, capturing all of the love, joy and positivity that you have embraced as a couple.

Save the Date. As you plan your wedding, one aspect will be to sending out “Save the Date” cards, allowing your guests to keep your wedding date open. However, if you are seeking these little beauties to be even more personalized to you and your partner, use one of your favorite engagement photos to adorn the front of the card, adding a perfect touch of romance! Also, include a couple of extra photos along with your cards, as your guests will certainly appreciate being able to showcase your love within a beautiful frame in their home, or even on their refrigerator.

Perfectly professional. The engagement photos you have captured will be how you remember all of your pre-wedding excitement, so it is important that they are professionally beautiful. Only being engaged for a short amount of time, you will want to find a professional photographer that can offer you a very candid photo shoot. To go even more over the top, consider having your hair and makeup professionally styled as well. Doing this can also serve as a trial run for your wedding day – it’s so important to be comfortable with your photographer and to be confident that your beauty team can create the look you’ve imagined for your day.

Every aspect leading up to your wedding day is important, all of the planning, the nerves, excitement and happy anxiety are many traits that should be remembered. Here at Contagious Events, our goal is to provide you with a wedding planning process that allows you to find happiness and creativity within each element of your planning.
