Kids in your engagement photos??

I think it is cute if you want to include them in some of the photos. I would do some with just you and your fiance too.

Hi Beth,

Your engagement photos tell a story about your relationship progressing to marriage and If your kids are a part of that, why not!?

WeddingWire discussion: Involving kids in engagement photos

I think it's a cute idea even if you don't use them for the STDs. It's always nice to have professional photos in the house.

We just did our engagement/family photos this past weekend. We did pictures of just the two of us then we also included my son in some of the poses.

My daughter will be in some of our pictures but not all of them. She's a huge part of our story too and I can't imagine doing any step of the wedding process without her. There are some really cute pictures I've seen on Pinterest with the kids holding a sign that says something to the effect of "my mommy said yes!" Not sure how old your boys are but there are definitely some cute ideas out there. Try searching "engagement pictures with kids," that's where I found a lot of inspiration for ours. Our pictures are next Tuesday, I'll be sure to post some on WW with and without my daughter!

We are including our daughter in some of the pictures, but most will be only of us. We have a little chalkboard she will hold up saying "About time, dad!" and other cheesy things for laughs but we really want it to be just us mostly because we include her in everything else already.

Our engagement photos included our dog (who we consider our kid lol). We took a bunch with just us, one of just him with a sign that says "my parents are getting married", and then another two or three with all 3 of us. My profile picture is actually one of them, it's the one we used for our save the date! He'll be our ring bearer at the wedding so it only felt right to have him in our pictures

We are hopefully (weather permitted) doing our engagement pictures tomorrow. I have 3 kids from a previous relationship and they will be included in a few of our pictures. For us it symbolizes us growing as a family.

Love the sign idea! We are including our dog as well.

OP you should definitely include your boys in a few! Those would be great pictures! Not sure how old they are, but I've seen some where the kids were holding signs with cute sayings. They always end up being cute pictures!

We included my daughter in our engagement pictures. We used it more as a family session. Some pictures were just of the two of us, some of the 3 of us, some of H with her, some of me with her, and some of just her. It was a nice balance and gave us some great pro photos.

View Quoted Comment I agree with this. We really wanted to include our pets, but the logistics didn’t work. I feel like kids are even more relevant.

We had both our kids involved

Okay, all the kids are pretty cute, but that little guy in front - TOO CUTE!
