4 Reasons You Should Have Engagement Photos Taken Even If You’re Eloping.

Not sure if you need engagement photos? Check out these 4 reasons you should have engagement photos taken even if you’re eloping.

Practice for the big day:

Reason # 1: Being in front of the camera can be nerve-wracking for many people. Engagement photos provide a relaxed setting for you and your partner to become more comfortable with a photographer’s presence. This comfort will translate into more natural and genuine expressions, resulting in beautiful and authentic photographs.

Capture your pre-elopement chapter:

Reason #2: Even if you’re eloping, it’s important to capture your pre-marriage chapter. This is an opportunity do a fun activity or have one of your favorite hobbies together captured. Engagement photos ensure that the moments leading up to your special day are preserved. These photos serve as a time capsule, allowing you to revisit the excitement, anticipation, and joy in the period before your elopement.
