Is anyone NOT going to take Engagement Pics?


Our photographer offers it to us for free, but I cant see us getting a free day to do this. We're so busy doing stuff........I was wondering.....is anyone waiting until after the wedding?

I have 2 months left and then we'll be married already.

I'd hate to not take them up on their offer, but I have no freakin time to do it......

We didn't do them. I kind of don't see the point of them. But that's just my personal opinion. I've heard of people not taking the free e-pics, but getting some enlargements after their wedding instead.

Our photographer offered free engagement shoot and picture too but we did not do it. Too much going on and I know I would wind up ordering more pics and spending money that we need to save right now.

We didn't have time to take them either but we found a day in August (we got married 2 months later)... better late than never. If it doesn't mean that much to you then don't worry about it.

We didn't do them...If they had been offered to us for free we may have, but they weren't so we didn't. I don't have any regrets so far about not having them done.

You dont HAVE to do them...I honestly never heard of them until I came on this site. We did them, and while the photographic work was great - WE feel we didnt look our best. However, the actual day we got engaged, we had the owners of the B&B we were staying at take a few pics of us around the grounds and those are the pics that we used at the wedding since we look better in them. Maybe the photographer can knock a couple of hundred off your bill if you dont do them?

Our photographer offered them as well, but we were too busy to have them done. No skin off my back!

Maybe the photographer will give you free enlargements or extra prints after the wedding if you don't do them

I agree...there are a lot of things that I have never heard of until I came to this site and, quite honestly with no offense to any brides, I think a lot of the stuff is a waste of precious time and money. I LOVE this chat room but it can also scare you a little and make you think you are desperately behind. (again no offense...just the opinion of a country girl)

We are also not doing E-pics.

I have never heard of e-pics until coming on this site and probably wouldn't have gotten them done, but they were free and me and FH had a free day so we went and had them done.

We didn't do them, we had them included too in our photography package.... We live in VA and each time we were up in NY there was no time for that! I kind of want them when I see other people's beautiful pics in everyday type clothes but we have SO many pictures together that it's okay.
