Engagement Photos

Gosh, missed yesterday, late today.....my good run of blogging every day has been broken!! I'm getting ready for my Fiji holiday tomorrow so plenty of jobs to get out before I leave, not to mention packing, trying to sell our house and a long list of other to-do's!

Anyway ENGAGEMENT photos!! Whilst not so many of us do this here in New Zealand, in the US it seems to be quite popular and I think it's a brilliant idea. They're so creative and a lot of fun and they really allow your personality to shine through. Speak to your photographer about including it in your whole wedding package, and then have a think about what really speaks about you as a couple. Is it somewhere in the middle of the city, or a quiet beach? You may want to include your pets (which may not be involved on the wedding day??), or a fun hobby, or just go to your favourite place. Whatever you do, the key is to relax and be yourself which I think can sometimes be easier said than done on the actual wedding day, when you're itching to get back and socialise with your guests - at least that's what my husband wanted to do!!
Here are a few of my favourite shots!
