After many years of the dating game, and perhaps a few false starts at forever love, soul-mates finally came together. When the marriage question was asked and answered affirmatively, the next thought after showing off the sparkly new ring, was engagement photos to be used as announcing to the world your intentions.
For as long as a woman can remember, from the time she was just a little girl to now, the perfect wedding may have been dreamed about. The perfect man might never have appeared, but then no one is without flaws of some kind.
For many couples, the most time spent in front of a camera lens was for school photos as a kid. This is probably quite different from that experience. School photographers snapped one picture and hoped for no blinking. The picture you need for the paper to use in announcing your togetherness may be one of many pics snapped during the sitting, as it is called.
Alternate backgrounds can be used, and some shots could be taken outdoors as well. This same type of stuff can be happening at a later date when it comes time for wedding images to be taken. It may help the first time around to be more at ease the second time around. The attire at least is usually more casual than wedding outfits.
For friends and family of the bride and groom who live far away, perhaps in a hometown of one or both, the snapshot in the local newspaper may be the only look they get at the couple. It is likely that the photographer took some time to become thoroughly acquainted with the couple and with that knowledge, created some striking vignettes to choose from.
If there ever would be a time when a side of one person is shown to the other that they have never seen, being in front of a camera for engagement photos may do the trick. Of course, this time can also be good practice for the upcoming wedding photos that will be taken as well. Once the entire fantasy-like marriage process is over, then real life can begin.
