 Keep em’ a secret

Although you may find this really hard, we suggest keeping your engagement photos under wraps until your wedding day. It will make showing them off that much more exciting for you and your guests.

Some couples we have worked with also choose to include their engagement photos as the intro to the their wedding album with a little love story on how they met – super cute!
