As I trim the fat on the wedding budget photography has landed on the chopping block. Engagement photos aren’t high on our list of must have items, yet I’d still like to possibly have some. I’m wondering if maybe getting a few props and our tripod and picking a few great scenic places in the city may be a good alternative. We live in NYC so we aren’t short on scenic locations. We even have a beach just a few short blocks away.
Has anyone done their engagement photos themselves that’s not a professional photographer? Were you satisfied with the results?
Has anyone got professional engagement photos and felt hmmmm we could have done this ourselves???
Those who got them done professionally and were glad they chose a professional what was it about your pics that made it worth a few hundred dollars??
If you skipped engagement photos altogether did you find yourself wishing you’d taken photos at any point down the line???
Trying to get different perspectives on engagement photos. Thanks in advance
