Not to bore you, but I have engagement pics! (pics removed)

Took out pics per FH's request.

Keeping my advice...

_____________________________
Ok, now for my advice:
1. Think of different looks you can have. I took my favorite blue coat at the last moment and some of my favorite shots are with it.
2. Have fun. I stressed about the weather and the photog. told me it was better not to have direct sunlight.
3. Try different areas. We used the playground under the bridge and the lampposts (1940's!) for photos.

The only thing I wish is that we took more in front of the bridge but it was so windy!!!

SO CUTE! They relaly capture your personalities..I love the look on your FH;s face in the one when you're looking at each other and I LOVE that coat.

he was right about direct sunlght..it casts harsh shadows, a couldy day is PERFECT for the kind of shoot you had, and it let your blue coat stand out (in the sun, it may have looked washed out)...SO great!

GREAT pics!!!

They look so natural, and years from now you can look back and really appreciate the symbolism with the bridge...great job!

Very cute!! I like the playground idea. Makes it look very real instead of staged like some e-pics do.

Re: Not to bore you, but I have engagement pics! (updated)

Lisa- you look amazing in the photos!!! I think your makeup was awesome (can I hire you?! jk!) And your coat, I love it! I have a similar one
I'm afraid what FH will want to wear to our shoot...probably our best college athletic sweats! Nothing says formal more than a CLEAN sweatshirt in his eyes! lol...
You guys looked great! Did you choose THE photo yet? Or do you get a few?
