Nice!
Yup. According to online articles, engagement photos are part of a Millennial trend in revised wedding traditions.

Not a new trend. I remember people doing it when I was younger. The photos are amazing. Beautiful couple! And post some wedding photos when it happens! For someone who will never get married againg I love weddings!

Excellent photos. =] My niece is getting married in October. She is obsessing over every detail of the wedding and personally handmade all of the invitations. There is a photo chronicle of her engagement too. She lives near Monterey, CA. Thanks for sharing this.

I think it adds more to the life story than just the usual wedding photos. I think they're a great idea. Congratulations to your daughter and her fiancé.

I don't know but they are wonderful photos.

Love the fireworks

I remember people doing announcement photos when they got engaged. And if they wanted to be social about it, they'd have them printed in the local paper
This is just an evolution of that.

Beautiful, LH. Really beautiful.

They are so pretty. The photos and the two loving birds.
You have a beautiful daughter. Great pictures.
I guess photography is so easy nowadays that any special event can be captured on a creative style.

Congratulations!!!

Wondeful pictures such a lovely couple.

Engagement photos have been a thing forever. You just don't go down to the local JC Penney photo studio to do them anymore.

I recall seeing engagement photos in the local paper. It's nothing "new".
However, the whole destination photo thing is. To each, their own.

I think their winners, looks like a loving and caring couple. I would be proud. Thanks for the pictures, romance is not dead, but alive and well in Seattle.

Lovely photos but I think the photo shoot idea is just one more unnecessary expense—like giving guests parting gifts or having destination bachelorette parties. Start a retirement fund, put a down payment on a home, pay off student loans...

I don't know about trends, but if thats what they're feeling at the time then good for them.

I got married in 1996 and we did engagement photos, I believe they came with the wedding photo package. Mine were super cheesy and taken in a photo studio.

Nice photos. I especially understand the Space Needle fireworks. My new partner and I experienced this several times. BTW my daughter's birthday is Sept. 15th.

They seem darn silly to me. But hey, I’m old, and they’re having fun. Marriage should be a happy occasion to me. ?

I've seen a number of young people do the engagement photos - I think any time you can memorialize a happy time in your life with pictures, you should do it. One day they may be old and not remember what they had for breakfast - but I'll bet those photos will trigger memories...
