If you’re wondering “when should I take my engagement photos?” it all comes down to your timeline and how long you plan on being engaged.

If you’re planning a wedding within the year then engagement photos should be taken 1-2 months into your engagement. This is a good window of time because you’re newly engaged and wedding planning hasn’t taken over your life yet. It’s also nice for couples who intend on sending save the dates with an engagement photo because save the dates are typically sent out 12-months to 6-months out from their wedding date. If your plan is to be engaged longer than a year you can still take them within 1-2 months of your engagement but it’s not necessary. Use the one-year from your wedding date as a marker of when you should take your photos. For example, if you plan on being engaged for one and a half years, plan on taking your engagement photos 5-6 months into your engagement.
