Your Engagement Photo

An Engagement Photo is a lovely way to remember the time of your engagement. It doesn’t have to be a professional photo.

If you have a friend who can take a good picture ask them to do it for you. Set a side a lot of time to have these photos taken.

Consider having the photo taken at the spot where you both first meet, or at the beach or in a lovely garden, or at an event where you will be well dressed.

Make sure you dress well for your photo as this will be a lasting memory. Here are some suggestions for selecting clothing that will look good in photos:

• If your skin tone is on the light side try to wear darker colours, like blue or black.

• If your skin tone is on the ruddy side stay away from red.

• If your skin tone is olive or dark try red, greens, pink or purple.

• Medium toned skins should try blue or grey.

Take many shots and poses, that way you will get different looks and have more of a choice when the photos are developed.

Get some of the shots printed in black and white, and have some enlarged and frame them.
