    Wow, that's a lot. We still have a lot to buy (food, dress & minister) but other than that, we have everything else already in our house or we got it for free from Craigslist or Freecycle.

    Engagement photos are usually for engagement announcements in the newspaper. Some people buy magnet save-the-dates and use their photos for those. Many people just take them to have nice photos together where they aren't in wedding attire.

    Most engagement photographers do weddings (our don't) so it's an (expensive) way to figure out if you like your photographer's shooting style and personality. Many photographers give a steep discount on engagement photos if you book them to shoot your wedding photos.

    Honestly, if we hadn't received our photos for free (they were looking to build their portfolio) we wouldn't have had them done because they usually run close to a thousand dollars if you get a bound album (our were all digital)
