Hi!! I’m wondering how far in advance i should book a photographer and take engagement pictures (interested is more springtime vibes for engagement photos since our wedding is fall.) Our wedding isn’t until October 24,2026.

    I’ve typically seen them done 1-4 mos after the proposal. Once you add in time for the photographer to edit them and get them back to you, that makes it approx 2-6 mos. Most people want to get them done soon after the proposal, since that is when everyone is most excited about the engagement. Once you get past the 6 month mark, interest/excitement tends to wane.

    I got married in June and we did our engagement photos in October, after having been engaged for 10 months (we got engaged the previous New Years Eve). I would say just do them early enough to have them back by the time you do your Save the Dates, so you can use the pictures on those. Smiley smile

    I would book a photographer by at least 1 year out. Good photographers tend to book up quick, so you want to make sure you book in enough time to get the photographer you want.

    I got engaged in November and we did our engagement photos in March. There really is no rush to get them done, so if you want to wait until the spring then do it. The only time crunch would be in you want to use them for your save the dates, which are typically sent 6-8 months before the wedding.
