Dare to different, you'll be so glad you did!

For most of your wedding guests, the engagement photos will be the first glimpse they will get of you and your new fiancé! Not only that, but most couples these days are sending them out as part of their ‘Save the Dates’ and invitations so these unique shots can help get your friends and family even more excited about your BIG day! For this reason (and many more!), we are loving the great new ideas some of our favorite photographers (Castaldo Studios and Meg Baisden) are using to create these truly original engagement photos.

There are many ways to showcase yourself in your wedding, so why not start by showing off your love for the outdoors, a favorite beach or even the place you met your 'soon to be!'

To pull off these candid shots, our tip to you is: Don't take yourself too seriously! Enjoy each other and the love that brought you two to this place in your lives!

Now the key to these types of shots, is that you can't be afraid to stand out in the crowd! Be open to being a little wild and you'll find that being spontaneous can sometimes produce the best photos. In these instances these couples found themselves in the middle of city streets, and atop laundry carts! Dare to be different, you'll be so glad you did.

One thing the ladies here at Your Fantasy Affair strive to do, is to bring in personal touches of the couple in every aspect of their wedding. Bringing things that you love, and those things that make you the couple that you are, can make a huge difference in creating completely personalized photos.

Good luck in creating your engagement shots that are uniquely you!
