    Keep! The planning process goes so fast. I suggest enjoying those little steps... they were fun to do, they excite me when I look at them and I feel confident in my photographer now

    We got our's done because it is a great opportunity to get to know the photographer that you choose for the wedding. It will also make you more comfortable the day of your wedding already knowing how they work. I am also using one of our engagement photos and turning it into our save the dates. Our photographer included them in our package. Essentially we got them for free Smiley smile

    WE will be skipping this. We've already got amazing photos of us and that's an extra expense that's not needed.

    We are skipping the engagement shoot. It's not in budget and we have great photos of us doing stuff throughout our time together. I plan on using those. Smiley smile

    We decided to skip. We just don't have it our budget. We wouldn't be saving any money since we wouldn't be using the same photographer (we live in Calgary and getting married in Ottawa/Gatineau).

    Skip! We have so many photos of us together already. Don't see the need to have a staged photo shoot.

    Engagement pictures are like the pre-wedding pictures, it's part of the whole getting married package.

    Taking them today! It's one of the few traditions we are keeping because it's a way to first celebrate as a couple our engagement since we are not having an Engagement dinner

    Is it even possible to skip? I thought a good wedding photography package has to include an engagement photo shoot. This give you and your photographer a chance to understand one another. More importantly an opportunity to the photographer to discover your good side Smiley smile
