Unique Engagement Photo Ideas from Pinterest

Engagement: it’s an exciting moment, a turning point in the lives of two people in love. That moment should be captured with photos that are just as unique as the couple themselves.
Little girls imagine their dream wedding with Prince Charming. Men rehearse their proposals in the mirror, hearts beating out of their chests. But the real work doesn’t even begin until after the proposal is accepted.
Every couple needs engagement photos, a visual record of these everlasting memories. But unlike wedding or graduation photos, there is no tried-and-true format for how to stage and thematize engagement photos.
This could make the prospect of these photos daunting, but there is a silver lining — you get to be creative! With just a little bit of time and effort, engagement photos can say a lot more about your relationship than you might think.

Express Yourself!

Engagement photos have come a long way from simple portraits. Social media websites like Pinterest have popularized new, creative ways to enhance engagement photography by allowing users to create “pinboards” of favorite ideas and share them with other users.
Though the pins differ greatly from one another, they are tied together by a common thread: personality.
The first choice you want to make is picking your clothing. Whether you prefer jeans or dresses, there is no right or wrong to the engagement photo wardrobe. Wearing something comfortable is great if you’re going for a casual vibe, but these days, many couples are choosing outfits that fit specific themes.
Unifying engagement photos with a common theme provides countless opportunities to showcase you and your partner. Whimsical Circus, Wild Paint Party, and Winter Wonderland are just a few of the many themes found on Pinterest boards. But why pick just one?
Make one of Printique’s high-quality, poster-sized calendars, and you can see a different theme each month.
Another possible choice for couples who can’t pick just one style of photo is a collage. Printique makes this process easy — all you have to do is select one of their templates, drag in your pictures, and you’ll have your very own, elegant record of your engagement.

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

Regular photo prints can be easily destroyed from wear and tear — that’s why quality printing is essential to preserving your priceless memories of life’s turning points. Photobooks are a sturdier means of protecting photographs than a series of basic photo prints.
Unfortunately, even photobooks may be a hazardous way to store photographs, as pages frequently fall out…unless the photobook utilizes AdoramaPix’s trademark leporello binding.
This technology helps photobooks lie flat, preventing the formation of unattractive and unreliable seams. The covers on these leporello-bound books are made of quality, attractive materials: custom hardcovers, leather-lux, and genuine leather.
To display photos more openly, turn engagement photos into legitimate works of art with Printique’s framed prints. These types of prints are meant to be hung on the wall, much like a painting. You can rest assured knowing that AdoramaPix’s high-quality printing means that, just like your marriage, these prints are meant to last.
Luckily, none of the options listed above come at a large cost. After all, diamond rings and weddings are expensive — your photos shouldn’t have to be. Even if engagement photos are needed quickly, processing time is minimal, with rush options available if necessary.
Engagement is a priceless and timeless event in a couple’s life — count on Printique to make sure that your photos are, too.
