Why you should absolutely do engagement photos if they’re included in your wedding package
“I didn’t think we wanted engagement photos. My partner hates being the center of attention and has requested we try to find a wedding photographer who won’t act like paparazzi.

A disappointed bride’s 5 tips to get better wedding photos

Feel free to take the “idea” and run with it.
