Engagement photos: yes or no?

Hi guys! How many of you got engagement photos taken? If you didn't, did you regret it? I am looking into booking photographers now, and one that me and FH really like has a package that includes them, but the photographer is also willing to give us a discount if we don't want the engagement...

Hi guys! How many of you got engagement photos taken? If you didn't, did you regret it? I am looking into booking photographers now, and one that me and FH really like has a package that includes them, but the photographer is also willing to give us a discount if we don't want the engagement session. I was never really that fond of the idea personally, but I am unsure if I will regret not having them done. What's everyone's thoughts? Love them or hate them?

    I didn't and so far no regrets. But I understand why people do! We just didn't see the point for us personally and didn't want to spend the money. Plus, that would've been just one more thing to plan and that is just not for me!

    I loved mine! It's an opportunity for you to have nice pictures of the two of you in regular everyday clothes. When else will you ever have pictures like that? Also you can use them for your save the dates, guestbook or wedding websiye

    Yes! we took them & we love them! We did not want to spend a lot so we found an experienced photographer through Groupon. We ended up paying half the price and she did an amazing job! We used the photos for our STDs and wedding website.

    This is such an exciting time in our lives and we wanted to capture that moment. Yes, the wedding planning is fun and can be stressful at times, but it's important to enjoy the moment, the engagement Smiley smile and for us, our photos were able to capture that. We will have those pics forever to share with our family. I guess it's all a personal preference

    We did engagement photos (before we even had a date) on a trip out of the country. They were really fun and I love them as do our parents!

    We discussed it and decided we didn't need them. I just had bridal portaits and we will have our pictures together the day of the wedding.
