You put a lot of effort into your engagement photos—from planning your outfit to coordinating logistics—and it only makes sense you would want to share them with the world however you can. These photos are significant and deserve to be utilized to their fullest potential!

The good news is: It’s easier than ever to make this happen. After your engagement photoshoot with me, you can easily choose photos from your gallery and opt to create your own custom guest book, prints, and framed photos from your shoot, transforming your photos into tangible heirlooms you’ll cherish forever.

Use your engagement photos in invitations and save-the-date cards.

Imagine this: You’re sending out invites to your wedding using photos where you and significant other both look and feel your best. Sounds amazing, right? This is where using your engagement photos in invitations and save-the-date cards makes perfect sense. You can choose a photo (or photos) that help set the tone for your wedding and get your guests excited to mark their calendars (not that they wouldn’t be anyways 😉 ) !

Use them to create your guestbook.

Your wedding guestbook is something you’ll hold dear for a lifetime. Consider using your engagement photos to create a one-of-a-kind, personalized guestbook rather than a conventional one. This is a flexible option you can customize to your preferences. You can have your guests sign the pictures, or leave congratulations and love notes! 

Display your engagement photos at your reception.

Your big day is all about you as a couple. Having stunning photos of the two of you displayed at your wedding is just another great way to celebrate your special love. You can put them on display at your reception—whether that’s as a slide show, gallery wall, or even used to signify table numbers.

Create personalized wedding favours.

Let’s talk about wedding favours. You can use your engagement photos to make personalized wedding favors your guests will love. A few of my favourites are magnets, photo strips, and wine bottle labels. Feel free to use your imagination! These photos can be used on just about anything your guests will appreciate as a memento.

Include pictures from your engagement on your wedding website.

Wedding websites are a great way to keep your guests apprised of all the need-to-know wedding details—but a blank site just won’t do! Use your engagement photos to personalize your wedding website if you have one. You can use them as background images, but this is also a great place to detail your love story in a slideshow.

Your story

More than three hundred weddings in. Trained in cinema and fashion photography, shaped by a decade in the South of France — its light, its pace, its people. Film and digital, side by side, the right medium for each moment. I came to weddings with a director's eye and stayed for the moments no lens can manufacture. For the way two families meet each other for the first time. For the friends who travel across oceans.
