I went a bit more glam for my engagement pictures and it turned out amazing!

Oh my gosh, you look so beautiful!! I truly may consider doing glam, your photos really do inspire me to try that!

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I’d definitely say to go for it! If you don’t love it, then you can go more natural for the wedding, but it photographs really well with pro pictures!

Yes, go glam!!

I think it depends on the outfits and location! PP's make up looks amazing w/ the glam so I would do whatever you feel comfortable with!

You're right Kylee - you need a ton of makeup to even just have a "natural look" in professional photos! So you'll always need to define your features a lot more than you think, no matter what makeup style you choose!

I'd say go glam! ✨

I would consider your look & outfits as well as the photographer’s style!

I think glam for engagement photos! That's what I chose to do, and will do more of a natural glam for wedding day.

I think it really depends on you yourself and what your everyday look is like. If you're someone who wears makeup normally, the glam look is definitely nice! But I'd say to leave a little something for the wedding day too (so don't go quite all out). If you don't wear makeup, a more natural look for your engagement photos is so nice. They'd feel more you and you can glam it up a bit more for your wedding day. But, do whatever makes you feel most like yourself! That glam look posted above is stunning.

Hmm. Its your choice. I recommend you pick the look that makes you feel more YOU.
