Nothing is funnier to me than cheesy, posed portraits à la Awkward Family Photos. Whether it be a weirdo image with laser beams in the background or a ridonculous Christmas photo, it’s clear that these pics only serve one purpose—to entertain onlookers. But there is one thing more hilarious than bad family photos. Awesomely BAD Engagement Photos! Yes friends, it’s OK to laugh ... love IS funny. If you’ve recently gotten engaged, this site may make you re-think that photo session you have planned for next week ... ‘cause hanging upside down from a tree while kissing is totally lame. After the jump, the best of worst.

I Hold Her In the Palm of My Hand
Love can make you feel 10-feet tall, right? Just ask Gulliver and his Lilliputian fiancée. Is it wrong for me to wonder how sex will happen on their wedding night?

I feel like we’re getting an extremely intimate glimpse. You?
Two questions: 1.) Why so serious? 2.) What are they looking at?

He’s trying to escape!!!
Love defies gravity. Or maybe it’s just a Photoshop illusion. But really, can anyone tell me how this position happened?

Look MOM, she wears a TEN! With our feet combined, we’ll have NBA stars!
Forget about this couple and their silly engagement. I want to see the soles of her awesomely big shoes!

I love Awkward Family Photos, hence my avatar: Arm Shelf/Elbow to the Adam’s Apple Combo.

I’m surprised they haven’t made this into a web site like the peopleofwalmart.com and sexypeople.com These photo’s should be posted of what NOT to do for your engagement photo.

I’ve only seen one couple get engagement photos that weren’t terrible, and I wasn’t surprised seeing that the groom to be was a photographer. Everyone else I know whose engagment photos I’ve seen did a totally unnecessary and horribly forced-looking set of poses in terrible matching outfits and second-rate photography. I can only hope most of them didn’t waste *too* much money for so little end result.

In the fourth picture, he’s holding on to a bar with both hands and bracing his legs against the building, so it shouldn’t be too hard to hold himself up like that (it’s not like he’s overweight or anything). I’m sure they thought it would be incredibly romantic to have him literally “falling into her” or something. A better question would be, why is she grabbing her crotch with her left hand?

This is the first I’ve heard of professional artsy engagement photos, though. Is it some kind of trend I’m missing out on?

Also, I love the very blatantly-Photoshopped glow around the woman in the second pic.

One of the couples on that site are friends of a friend. When I saw the pictures on there I almost fell out of my chair laughing because when I first saw the original I thought it was so ridiculous (the one where they’re by the fence “walking” toward each other).

I HAVE, however, seen some amazing engagement photos.
