Funny & Creative Engagement Photo Ideas
Your engagement photos should show off not just your love, but also your personality and creativity. The photos let people know just what kind of couple you are. While you can take a more traditional photo – for example, the two of you in a park staring lovingly into each other’s eyes – a more creative and funny photo is likely to get you and your fiancé more attention and praise for your unique style.

A Public Display

Who says your engagement photos have to be done in a private studio, home or park with no one else around? Engagement photos are a way to make your engagement public, so consider taking the photos in public too. Get dressed up and take a stroll down a busy city block. Have the photographer snap photos as you cross the street, hand in hand, with your fiancé also holding a set of balloons. Interact with other people, adding fun and creativity to your photos. Convince a police officer to pretend to arrest your fiancé as you step in to save the day.
Ice Skating
-
If your photos are being taken in a cold time of the year, or your town has an ice skating rink, tie on your skates and take to the ice. Have the photographer snap shots as you and your fiancé skate around, hand in hand. If one of you should fall – perfect – as a photo of one of you helping the other up symbolizes the caring nature of your relationship.

Monsters! Zombies!
-
Taking a series of engagement photos that tell a story makes your photos seem like a storybook or short film. Get a friend to dress up as a monster or zombie and make a funny, scary story as you and your fiancé try to defeat the creature. This can not only be entertaining but also show how the two of you can defeat any problem that comes your way.
Food
-
Chances are a big part of dating was getting dinner or other tasty treats. Show this off in your engagement photos. Take a photo of the two of you eating dessert, your face messy with ice cream. Snap a shot of the two of you splitting a large cookie. If the two of you enjoy cooking together, take a series of photos of you making a cake, with the final photo showing a finished cake with icing that says “Kim loves Matt,” substituting your names.
Old-Fashioned
-
Get out your 1940s garb, set the camera to a black and white or sepia setting and step back in time. Take what looks like an old-fashioned photo. Style yourself in clothes, styling and makeup consistent with the era you’re trying to portray and show your creative side. Don a trench coat and hat and you can become Humphrey Bogart from “Casablanca.” Wear a white dress and stand over a steam vent and you can become Marilyn Monroe from “The Seven Year Itch.”
