Are You Ready For Your Engagement? 

Congratulations on your engagement!

There’s nothing quite like a new beginning, and a wedding engagement sets the stage for one of the biggest and most exciting new beginnings of them all. As the reality of the journey, you’re about to embark on sinks in, your emotions will take you places you’ve likely never been before.

If you’re like most brides-to-be, the engagement euphoria will soon be replaced with thoughts of planning the perfect wedding. And while the wedding is definitely the main attraction, try not to get too far ahead of yourself.

Your Engagement Is a Time to be Cherished

Whether your engagement lasts a few months or more than a year, it marks the last bit of time before you and your partner are joined together and begin your lives as one. It’s not a time to just be glossed over as you plan for the big day, but a celebration unto itself.

Engagement Pictures Tell the Whole Story

Having perfect wedding photos will capture that moment in time for you to share forever, but they only tell part of the story. Your engagement photos allow you and your partner to express your creativity and individuality in a way that isn’t always possible on your wedding day.

It’s just about the two of you; before the big party, the invitations, the bridesmaids, the caterers, the families, and all the other components of your ideal wedding. Here are some tips on deciding what to wear:

• Choose clothes that express your true personality
• Stay away from clothes that have stripes
•  Solid colors work best
• Consider how the color scheme will blend with your overall photo collection
• When in doubt, choose classic looks over trendy
• Dress for the season
• Don’t go overboard with numerous wardrobe changes
• Follow the advice of your photographer

Finding the ideal backdrop for your engagement pictures is also important.

If you remember to stay present during your engagement and enjoy every step of the journey to your wedding day, you’ll be able to look back and feel like your love story has been told just the way it should.
