Fall is Coming!

Sep 11th

Last night, I experienced the first “nice weather” in Florida since April. Now, it wasn’t cool, but it was bearable, as I didn’t start sweating profusely just from being outside. To me, it was “nice weather”.

This must mean that Fall is coming! With the impending arrival of fall, I’ve started to dream of running outside, bonfires, soup, the scent of cinnamon, jewel tones, grays, cardigans and sweater dresses! Of course I’ve been gazing at a few of these things, reinforcing the feeling that Fall is coming. I actually have been expecting to walk outside and feel a cool breeze, but for now it’s just a breeze. Hey, I’ll take whatever I can get!

Engagement Photo Fun!

When I got engaged, I had hardly even heard of engagement photos. I thought it was just a few pictures that you took in a studio, and that was that!

When I started doing my wedding photography research, I was pleasantly surprised to find out what an engagement session really entailed. Different locations, outfit changes, seeing the true personality of the couple, and having fun- that’s what engagement photos are really about!

An engagement session is a great way to get pre-wedding photographs (aka in normal clothes) and capture the excitement and love of your relationship. Your photographer should have some ideas of where to shoot if you don’t already have some places picked out. It’s always fun to have photos of the two of you doing something you enjoy, or even to include your pet in the session!

As I’ve been stalking phlogs the past few months, I’ve seen so many fun and different engagement photos! It makes me want to do another photo session…maybe a 1 year anniversary shoot?

I love the bicycles and the carousel! So much fun! Have you had engagement photos taken yet? Did you do anything fun and different for them?

Inspiration Board Tuesday! My favorite day of the week!

It’s no secret that I’m in love with gray this year. I’ve held off on posting this inspiration board, but I just couldn’t hold back my love for gray anymore!

The purple and gray color combination can be used in any season. It’s perfect for the upcoming fall and winter seasons, but would also work wonderfully for a spring wedding! Using a dark purple exudes a sophisticated and classy feel, whereas lavender is great for a more modern event.
