- If you make a wedding scrapbook, you will want an engagement photo and a record of how he proposed.
- Some couples use their engagement photo in the wedding by displaying the engagement photo by the guest book. Other couples frame the photo with a very large matte. The matted area is then signed by wedding guests for a keepsake.
- It used to be that engagement photos were formal black and white portraits of the bride only. Times have changed. Contemporary photos are either black and white or color, can be both the bride and groom and can be as formal or informal as you like.
- Try to use the same photographer for your engagement photo that you will use for the wedding. This gives the photographer an opportunity to get to know you which will make the wedding day photos easier.
