258 Days Until Our Wedding: Engagement Picture Ideas


I'm feeling really chipper today so I thought I would finally write a new post. I'm not sure why I go so long in between each post. I have plenty to write about but I just don't feel like putting it to the page so to speak.

So.

Engagement pictures.

I want our engagement pictures to really pop. These pictures are going to be on display at our wedding reception and go out in our invitations. Now I'm not worried about our photographer because she is AMAZING!!! The wonderful Miss Lilly Hare of Lilly B. Photography will be taking our engagement pics, my bridals, and the pictures on our wedding day. She is really talented. She took a pictures for us for our 1 year anniversary and they were so fun and so cute (I'll post a few below.) So, I am not worried that she will be able to mold us into something awesome. (Also, if you are reading this and want to check out her pictures, please visit her at http://www.lillybphotography.com/ or on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lilly-B-Photography/141416229307076 )





So here's my concern. I like to be unique. I'm creative and I like to stand out. So what can I do to make our pictures really special to us and really unique? I have a few ideas but I want some opinions.

  1. Paint fight/ Paintball photo shoot: Basically, we go play paintball or fill balloons with paint (washable of course) and go at it. Then Lilly shoots the pics. I found a similar thing on Pinterest and it looked really cute.
  2. Mad men styled shoot: Since we love Mad Men (in fact that's what we sent out as our Save the Dates) and I love the fifties and sixties. I would wear a ModCloth type dress and Devon wears a bow tie and suspenders (and maybe a fedora lol) I know you can rent old cars so maybe even something like that!
  3. Guadelupe River shoot: Since we live in San Antonio, we spend a lot of our summer going to the Guadelupe River going tubing. It's incredibly beautiful there. So basically I'd wear a sundress and Devon would wear rolled up pants and we would go to the shallow part of the river and just play around in the water. And maybe take some shots in Gruene (an old town off of the river) before that.


Well all in all I know the pictures will be awesome because our photographer is awesome and my fiance is awesome.

Until next time, I'll be brainstorming and buying some waterproof mascara :)

I vote the Mad Men style shoot because it goes with what you've already sent out. But the country girl in me LOVES the idea of the Guadelupe River shoot. No matter what you do, it'll be awesome. :D
