Several friends asked us about our engagement photos. And we realized we never posted them. Here are the links:

And for those getting their engagement photos taken soon...
Useful Hints for Taking Engagement Photos
1. Do plan ahead the clothes you will wear for your shots. We picked our outfit based on our wedding website :P Our wedding website theme colours were brown and pink, and not too many colours go well with that.
2. The night before the shoot, don't drink too much water to avoid being bloated up (水腫).
3. Even if you do casual shots, do put make up on (the photographers made me apply extra layers after I applied some). Some people go for a wedding makeup trial, and then do the engagement shots with that make up. That could work for some, but some might feel it's too heavy for engagement shot with casual clothes.
4. Unless your photographer has cheap equipment... Ok, Micky + co. used some extremely nice and expensive lenses that other photographers might not use for engagement shots normally... You can see every strand of our hair in our engagement photos. Make sure, both guys and girls, comb / style your hair the way you want it. Use gel/mousse to fix your hair to minimize hair flying in your (or your spouse) face. I wouldn't have the bridal hair trial and used that hair for the engagement shot (unless you already know your hair person is good, and she can help you fix your hair just for the engagement shot.)
5. Every little counts. Your nails, your teeth, your eyebrows, dark circles... We didn't do this, but a good idea to sleep more before the engagement shots to minimize dark circles, and keep your skin in good condition (no fried food, more water). Also, use teeth whitening strips to keep your teeth white.
