Frequently Asked Questions About Engagement Photos

How Early Should You Do Engagement Photos?

For the best timing, schedule your engagement photoshoot about 3 to 6 months before your wedding day. This allows you to use the photos for things like save-the-date cards and invitations.

‍

It also gives you flexibility in choosing the season and weather for the shoot. Additionally, it adds a personal touch to your wedding decor. Ultimately, pick a time that feels right for you and your partner, making the experience meaningful and memorable.

Do You Have to Dress Up for Engagement Photos?

Dressing up for engagement photos is entirely up to you and your partner's preferences. There are no hard and fast rules, so you have the freedom to choose outfits that align with your style and personality.

‍

Many couples opt to dress up in more formal or semi-formal attire to create a polished and elegant look for the photo shoot. Others may prefer a more casual and relaxed style that reflects their everyday personalities and interests. The key is to wear clothing that makes you both feel comfortable and confident, as it will ultimately shine through in the photos. 

‍

What is the Difference Between Engagement Photos and Couples Photos?

Engagement photos are taken to celebrate the period between engagement and the wedding. They capture the couple's love and joy during this time. They often serve practical purposes, like save-the-date cards and wedding invitations.

‍

On the other hand, couples photos celebrate the love between two individuals, taken at any time during their journey together. It can be to mark special occasions or simply express and document their love.
