Keep or Skip: Engagement photos?

Definitely. We just had our session yesterday and I’m excited to see how they will turn out. Will shares some faves once we have them

Keep! Here's one of my faves. We're keeping a lot of them secret for Christmas gifts.

We will definitely be doing engagement pics! We are bad at taking pictures of ourselves so these may be it for us lol. Plus we want to take some with his daughter too.

We're getting ours done at the end of August - can't wait

We got engagement photos done. I love them!

We've already done them, however we may actually need to take a few new pics since.. my fh had dreads and has since cut them off since the engagement pics, so we will have to retake some pics, even if it's just a few for our save the dates.

Definitely keep, I love photography so much I wish I could take ours myself haha

Keep... We haven't had ours yet and our wedding is in June.. ooops.

BUT it comes included with our photographer and it's a great way to get familiar with each other... so even if we do them a week before the wedding, we're still doing them.

Keep! Although ours was a short session because the photographer had pneumonia, they turned out great!

Keep!! i wasn't planning on doing engagement photos but i'm so glad i did! LOVE my photos and my photographer was kind enough to let us bring our dogs for a few of the pictures and now we have a family photo too!

Keep!! I don't like having my picture taken, but my partner and I decided it was important, since we don't have many pictures of us. It turned out to be a LOT of fun!! So glad we did it!

We already did our engagement pictures. We loved them, too! Keep!

Keep! we did our engagement pictures together last month and chose to honour our paternal grandmothers in the photos. we used a location that is named after my Fiance's paternal grandmothers maiden name, and i wore my paternal grandmothers jewelry in the photos.

My FMIL is quite gifted with photography and wanted to take our engagement photos in the worst way. Her photos turned out wonderfully and we saved the added expense.

We seem to be one the few couples that will be skipping this. We live overseas and it's just not done here. Actually, it's slowly seeping in, bit it's still widely unknown. Also, my FH wouldn't really be done for it. He prefers to take pictures than to be in them.

Keeping, my FH wanted to skip them but I eventually explained to him the importance.

Skipped. I wanted to but we ran out of time

We did our engagement photos. Still waiting to get them back. I definitely recommend them! Gives you time to get comfortable with your photographer!! Ours is great

We took engagement photos! Our friend is also a photographer so we got a great deal!

I second what Brittany said below, though my fiancé and I haven't done ours yet!

Our photography package includes them. I think it's a great way to get to know how your photographer's style, get comfortable together, and also, learn how to be photographed if you haven't had professional photos before (*ahem* me and my fiance)...

Also I will be using these photos on our wedding website, too!

We're taking them purely because they're included in our photography package, otherwise we wouldn't take them.

Keep! We actually have had multiple engagement sessions!

Keep, definitely want to keep pictures that have us looking all lovey and cute, lol.

Keeeeeep!

I love pictures, and we will also be using them for the save the dates/decor at hte wedding.

Keeping! I am a huge photography nut! I absolutely love to document everything so this is big for me. It is also included in our photography package.

Keeping but only because they are included in our photography package. Although its nice to have engagement pics, I plan on spending my whole life with Timmy. Realistically these pics will be used for save the dates, some fb/insta posts, and then hide away in an album somewhere. The wedding photos are what I'm most concerned about!!!

Keeping! It's a nice keepsake, and a great way to get know the photographers and their style and for them to get to know us!

Keeping! Our photographer and videographer is a very good friend of mine, so I believe we’ll just be doing a few pictures (4-5) over the holidays, just to have a few! The fiancé hates pictures, so the less suffering for him, the better lol.

We did engagement photos and it was great!

100% love my engagement photos! They were included in our package too! So definitely keep!

I was thinking skip but now I might ask my sister to take a couple.
