Our first order of business is doing the engagement shoot. We probably should have done this months ago but with Cayden's birthday, the Oregon trip, and our move we honestly have not had a chance to do it yet. Now we're forced to do it before it gets too cold out which means we have about a month left. EEEK! I have been pinning and scouring Etsy like a mad woman trying to get our concept and 'props' down and I think everything is finally coming together.
We went back and forth over what theme we wanted our engagement pictures to have (because you all know I NEED a theme!) and after my 'country fair' idea was thrown out we agreed on a picnic theme. It's very romantic and timeless (as Tammie wisely pointed out) and I'm getting really excited about it! Here's some inspiration pictures I've dug up so far...

Aren't they all gorgeous?! I seriously can't decide which one I like best! I think if I had to choose it would be the top and middle left pictures but they are all amazing! Right now I'm obsessing over patchwork quilts and trying to find the perfect one for the pictures. Then I'll work on styling the props... I'm thinking a wooden picnic basket, a pretty bunch of sunflowers, and maybe some fruit/bread/wine in there somewhere. I'm also enlisting the help of my sister to make me a few coordinating throw pillows! Then I need to figure out outfits and accessories, and well, as you can see I'm very busy!
What do you think of the picnic theme and what items do you think I should include in the photos? I'd love to know your opinion! XOXO
OMG, those photos are AMAZING. LOVE them!!!! Will you have Cayden in them too?
ReplyDeleteAren't they? I AM OBSESSED. Cayden won't be in them with us... we went back and forth on whether or not we wanted him in a few of them, but ultimately decided to make it about us and do a seperate holiday shoot with him. He'll definitely be in a ton of the wedding photos too! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a wooden ampersand for our photos, you are welcome to use it. :) I LOVE your idea and can't wait to help with the pillows! Let me know ASAP though so I have plenty of time to finish them with everything else going on!
