Planning a wedding is exciting, but the costs can add up fast—especially when it comes to engagement photos. Instead of spending $1,000 on a professional shoot, we decided to take matters into our own hands and capture stunning, editorial-style engagement photos on a budget. In this video, I’ll walk you through our wedding planning updates, why we chose The Lodge at Sonoma as our venue, and how we pulled off a beautiful DIY engagement shoot with just a little planning, creativity, and the right gear. If you're a bride-to-be looking for budget-friendly inspiration, this one's for you! ✨ Watch now to see how we did it! As usual, comment any questions you may have.
