Saturday, April 4th, 2009

We took our engagements this afternoon. After a minor meltdown due to a wardrobe malfunction, we were well on our way.

We took our pictures in three places: the library on campus, Austin Hall area {aka where we’re getting hitched}, and at the park in our area.

This is the guy who took our pictures. Thomas Boydston. I really think that not only is he an awesome photographer, he is the only one who could put up with our craziness. He rocks.

We’re getting the picture on Wednesday, I believe. Yay!!

Whitney Lee Photography Contest

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

I’m in love.

In love with a photographer. I actually don’t know how it slipped my mind, but I met Whitney Lee at the Bridal show, and that was probably one of my highlights. And, while I adore her photography, I am in love with Leah Muse’s as well. Words really can’t describe it; it’s just one of those things.

There is just one issue though, and that’s that I can’t afford them without completely depleting my budget. :( You have no idea how sad I was once this was realized.

But! Wait! There is hope! Whitney and Leah are running a contest for bridal portraits!! And I want to win!I found it on their blog [I told you I really liked them]. Even just getting bridal portraits by them would be fabulous. I didn’t really want bridal portraits done, because, what precisely am I going to do with pictures of me holding a bouquet in makeup and my dress? We don’t really hang stuff on the walls [not photos of us anyway], and I wasn’t going to pay to have something shot that I would stick in a drawer and forget about. However, if I could get some totally offbeat pictures done, I would adore them!

So now I have to go think of ideas, and have them done soon…!
