Engagement prints are very special and important to most couples. In fact, the whole process of engagement photography is important to most people. After all, your engagement photography marks the first time you will publicly distribute photographs together as a couple. The engagement photos will likely be the ones used to announce your impending marriage in the newspaper, and they may even be added to the wedding invitations. You want to make sure your engagement prints are the best they can possibly be.
Who Takes the Pictures?
Deciding on a photographer for your wedding and engagement photographs can be tricky. Traditionally, wedding photography is rather costly and many photographers do not include engagement photos in their price for wedding photographs. You’ve already spent a considerable amount of money on a diamond ring and are getting ready to throw the biggest and most special party of your life, which will also set you back a few bucks. For some people, engagement photos are simply not in the budget.
If this is your situation, there are a few options. You may choose to use a low cost photography studio to get one good engagement print that you can send to friends and family members. Department stores like Sears, Dillards, and even Wal-Mart have photo studios that do low cost portraits but acceptable quality engagement print. Alternatively you can take the photos yourself, or have a friend do it, using a good camera and a tripod.
Whatever method you use, the goal is to wind up with an engagement print so good that you’ll want to be able to look at it fondly years from now when you’re giving your wife a new diamond for a double digit anniversary.
If your wedding photographer is taking the engagement pictures as well, you’re in for a real treat. Professional photographers have a knack for making breathtaking prints out of the simplest photos. By using lens and retouching effects, the photographer can produce a stunning engagement print that will have you awestruck. For years to come you’ll be able to view and enjoy your engagement prints.
