Many wedding photographers offer engagement photos in their packages because it’s a good way to meet and get to know each other before your big day. If you are hesitant on taking engagement photos because you aren’t sure what to do with them, or if you are looking for more ideas to show them off, this blog post is for you!
Here’s a spoiler: your photos are not meant to be forgotten on your phones!
Social media announcement.
Whether or not you had a photographer for your proposal, a beautiful way to share with your friends and family that you are engaged is obviously through your socials!
Save the dates.
Having your photographs on save-the-date cards to your wedding attendees is a sweet way to be personal and invite your guests! If you’re curious as to what save-the-dates are compared to wedding invitations, read this blog post.
Fridge magnets.
A unique way to invite guests is to send save-the-dates - as fridge magnets! This way, your guests will HAVE to remember that your wedding is coming up, and its a cute decor piece for you as well!
Wedding website.
You may not want to spam all your engagement photos on your Instagram but on your wedding website, it’s all game. This is YOUR site to show off and give all the details, so get creative and add your engagement photos to it!
Wedding guest book album.
Guests love writing little notes to you at your wedding and having a place for them to write in is something you may not want to miss out on! Have your engagement photos printed into a guest book album so that your guests can see your pretty pictures and compliment you on them too.
Wedding entrance displays.
Have you ever gotten lost at a wedding venue before? I sure have :’) If your wedding venue is a high-traffic area like a restaurant, it can be helpful to grab your guests attention and letting them know they are in the right place! You can also take these enlarged prints and put them in your home or gift it away.
Wedding favors.
If you decide to do wedding favors, it can be cute to include a little photo of you and your partner to commemorate the occasion.
Wedding decor.
A popular idea is to use your engagement photos to put on the champagne or wine being distributed at each table.
Wall art & canvases.
Your photos are not meant to stay on your phone! Print your engagement photos into wall art and canvases to display around your home. Your life is ART, and what’s a better conversation starter than by having that goofy engagement photo framed on your wall?
Make a photo book for your parents or grandparents.
Your engagement photos can be used as gifts for your friends and family! These gifts can be photo books, prints, canvases, or even mugs and magnets - the options are endless when you can use your photos for them!
Thank you cards.
Maybe you’d like to thank you guests and/or vendors in a more formal way after your wedding. Using your engagement and/or wedding photos will be an unforgettable way to say thanks!
