by: I can't remember the last time I looked through my engagement session photos. I think they're on a jump drive in a box of photos somewhere? But, my friends, please don't follow my lead. Display your engagement photos proudly well beyond your wedding day!
Engagement photos offer the first glimpse into marriage ... capturing love, the future, and celebration! They're cherished and displayed for months {then they're taken down and wedding photos take their place}.
Be inspired by Abbie and Greg! This lovely couple turned a favorite photo from their stunning engagement session into something timeless, artful, and absolutely beautiful—a Canvas Print from our Weddings department. They kept one canvas print for their own home and gifted the rest to close family members on Mother's Day ... something very personal to display for years to come.
Their canvas print is stunning ... plus swoon over their savvy Save the Date and engagement session!
Over four years ago ...
"I was going to school in Kentucky, and he lived in New Jersey. He came down to visit my college because he was in the process of deciding where he wanted to go for his Master's.We were in a long distance relationship for about six months until he finally moved down to Kentucky for school. Now two degrees and two apartments later, we are very excited to get married!"
Beach proposal on a family vacation
"The day of the proposal, my mom told me we were going to a nice dinner and to take family pictures on the beach. So we took one big family photo, and then couples' photos. Of course, Greg and I were first. We walked out closer to the water, and when I turned around to look at the camera ... every single family member had a camera or phone ready. Before I knew it, he was down on one knee, and I said 'yes!'"
Looking forward to married life
"I am really just ready for that next chapter in our lives ... To have that next level of closeness as husband and wife. We are ready to start looking for a house to call our own, and to save some money so we can travel."
Save the Date | Captivating from MagnetStreet
"It was the only wedding site I found where every single item you can customize to your colors and see it immediately. MagnetStreet is also very affordable and always has great sales, which every bride on a budget should appreciate! The quality of the products is fantastic. We received so many compliments on our save the dates."
Advice for other couples
"Plan ahead and make lots of lists! Planning a wedding is a huge event with so many details. I was determined to not be a stressed out bride. I think being super organized and trying to get things done early really helped. It has made the process more fun than stressful."
