Engagement pictures!

Peggy, on June 26, 2018 at 15:09 Posted in Before the wedding 0 21

Well, I am a 'worst case scenario' kinda bride. I always assume the worst - my photography was no different. We picked someone we loved the style of, we liked as a person, and have so far paid off over half our photography cost. We finally did our engagement session 10 days ago, and since then I have been in a 'OMG, what if I hate them?!" state of mind ALL 10 days while waiting for our proofs to come in.

Well, they came in today - still have to go through them all, but I can say my concerns have all been put to rest. Here's just a quick sampling of them - we still have to pick our favourite 24 for full editing.

We did our engagement pictures at Fort Edmonton Park in Edmonton - we did two outfits and two very different 'feeling' background spaces within the park. The weather was beautiful (though constantly changing from cloud cover to bright sun) and our photographer handled it wonderfully. We were even lucky enough to get to ride in a 1929 Rio, which isn't something you can book unless it's as part of a wedding, and then it's close to 1000$ to do - we were so lucky that the gentleman working at the car garage that day was in a good mood and liked how polite we were! What a treat!

    FAB! Pictures.

    You look so fun in them. The carnival ones are my favourite. The one where he's twirling you in front of the garage is definetly my favourite.

    It's funny you say that - she often had us leaning/arching/whatever in a way that was super uncomfortable but you can't tell that in the final pictures at all, which is something I was worried about. I'm very happy with how natural they look!

    Thank you all - there are others that show even more personality (silly faces, etc), and more formal ones but overall I love them. My anxiety about wedding photos has all but completely evaporated - I am SO glad we did an engagement session!

    So adorable!!! I love them all! I especially love the pin-up look. That cherry dress is so cute!! I love the train track shot, and the one where you look like he's spun you out by the old car...

    AH. So great. You're right, you were worrying for nothing. These are fantastic!
