Low Budget diy Engagement Photoshoot

Christine, on December 1, 2019 at 6:47 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 2 27
Hi there Smiley smile I wanted to share some pictures from our engagement photoshoot that my sister shot yesterday! My wedding budget is 12k and we both agreed that we weren’t going to spend a lot of money on engagement pics. Thankfully, we had a Canon DSLR and a family member with an artistic eye. The lens she used was part of the starter kit we purchased.


The dress I purchased was on clearance for $50 at Macy’s and the earrings were $7 from Forever 21. We took the pics at Four Mile Cove Eco Park in Cape Coral, FL.
My sister is not a professional photographer but I loved the way the pictures came out!

    Awwww. Very nice. Great deal on the photography. I am having a former student take pics of my dog. Much cheaper.

    OMG absolutely stunning! I have been trying to figure out how to say on photos as well; our budget is not large. I would never know these photos were DIY.

    My son’s Dad lives in Cape Coral and my oldest just met his girlfriend there. There are so many beautiful places. I must tell him about this park.

    Again, these photos are fabulous! You are such a beautiful couple. I’m sending out messages to family members now asking who has that type of camera 😁

    I will post for sure. I am sure FH who hates pics may not want to be in them but he would be okay with our dog being the star lol. Plus a current student of mine who is awesome at calligraphy will make the sign for me and I will get her a little gift card to starbucks.
