post-wedding "engagement" shoot

I always hated the idea of an engagement photo shoot.  They just seemed so cheesy and posed and not at all like real life.  But when every single wedding photographer package came with one mixed in, we figured we'd give it a shot.  

Only problem was - in the few months before our wedding, we had next to no free time.  We had our bachelor and bachelorette parties (among those of our friends), then Stefan was switching jobs, then we had to be in Europe, and then Stefan's mom was visiting.  And somehow an engagement shoot didn't end up at the top of our pile of things to do.

So it wasn't until late October (months post nuptials) that we finally got around to cashing in.  And it wasn't until last week that our pics finally arrived.

What do you think?  Too cheesy?

Are you pro or con engagement shoot?
