6 Ways To Use Your Engagement Photos
The Value of an Engagement Shoot
As a wedding photographer based in Derby, Derbyshire, I have seen firsthand how engagement shoots not only help couples feel more comfortable in front of the camera but also strengthen the bond between them and their wedding photographer. But once the shoot is over, what do you do with those stunning photos? Don’t let them simply gather digital dust in the cloud! In this blog post, I’ll share six creative ways to use your engagement photos in your wedding planning and as cherished keepsakes.
1. Engagement Guest Book
An engagement guest book is a wonderful way to display your favourite photos and collect well-wishes and advice from your wedding guests. Personalising your guest book with your engagement photos adds a special touch and helps create a meaningful keepsake that you’ll treasure for years to come. You can incorporate your photos in various ways, such as using them as backgrounds for your guests to write on or creating photo collages alongside their messages.
2. Photo Album or Photobook
Compiling your engagement photos into a photo album or photobook allows you to create a tangible keepsake that you can share with loved ones and enjoy for years to come. Get creative with the design elements and themes for your album or photobook, selecting layouts, colours, and fonts that represent your unique relationship. Your engagement photobook can complement your wedding album, and ordering it through me will give you a feel for the process we’ll use to create your perfect wedding album.
3. Framed Prints or Canvases
Framed prints or canvases of your engagement photos make for sentimental gifts for family members or beautiful decorations for your own home. To make the most of these keepsakes, consider choosing the best photos and frames that fit the style of your space. For larger prints or beautiful frames, opt for professionally printed photos from a pro lab to ensure high quality and longevity.
4. Wedding Decor
Incorporating your engagement photos into your wedding decor is a fantastic way to personalise your special day. Display your photos at the reception venue, create a slideshow, or even use them as table centrepieces. There are countless creative ways to include your photos in your wedding decor, adding a personal touch that your guests will appreciate.
5. Table Names
Using your engagement photos as table name-cards during your wedding reception adds a unique and personal element to your event. Select the best photos and frames that match the overall theme of your wedding, and consider using them as centerpieces to spark conversation among your guests. This idea not only makes your wedding feel more intimate but also helps guests get to know you and your partner better.
6. Welcome Sign or Seating Chart
Creating a welcome sign or seating chart featuring your engagement photos adds a personal touch to these essential wedding elements. Design visually appealing and functional signs or charts that showcase your favourite photos while guiding your guests to their seats. Experiment with different layouts, fonts, and colours to create a cohesive look that complements your wedding theme.
