5 WAYS TO USE YOUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
Engagement photos are one of my very favorite kinds of portrait sessions! You definitely need to consider engagement photos before your wedding. But once you have your engagement photos back from your photographer ... then what? Don't just let your beautiful photos sit on your hard drive! Here are five ways to use and get the most out of your engagement photos:
1. Save the Date Cards
This is one of the most common uses for engagement photos. So many of my clients incorporate their engagement photos into their save the date cards, and I absolutely adore getting them in the mail! Using your photos in this way allows you to create beautiful and personal cards to announce your upcoming wedding to your guests.
2. Wedding website
A wedding website is more than just a place to your engagement -- it's a useful resource that your guests will visit again and again as they check details on where and when events will take place, and to find the links to your registry. Utilizing your engagement photos throughout your wedding website is a great way to make it attractive in your own way.
3. Guest book
This is one of my favorites! It's so much fun to create a custom guest book for my clients with their engagement photos, and I always make sure to leave plenty of space for guests to write their messages and wishes. PLUS you get a beautiful keepsake with personal messages from your guests to look back at after the wedding.
4. Social media
Let's be honest, you will probably be sharing a LOT of wedding updates on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter in the weeks and months leading up to your wedding. Your engagement photos offer the perfect visual to accompany all of these posts. They're a gorgeous way to draw attention to your updates.
5. Print them for your reception Entrance:
This is the biggie. There's a special thrill to seeing your photos in print. Making a big print from your engagement session at the entrance of your reception is a big trend and its pretty unique way to showcase your engagement photo too.
