our engagement photos:

April 21, 2010

i don't know how to start except say how truly blessed i am. waking up today felt like christmas morning. ;) not only did we had a really great engagement shoot, 100 layer cake and Green Wedding Shoes have posted our photos on their beautiful blogs today. I've had the opportunity to meet all the girls from 100LC and Jen from GWS (hurray for living in southern california + blog socials!) and I can honestly say they are the sweetest ladies ever.

The girls of Simply Bloom, Vania + Christine, really made our vision of the shoot come to life, their talent is amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect but they made us feel really comfortable and told us exactly what to do. They were so sweet and worked with us to get great shots - it was nice to make new friends too.

Be sure to stop by both blogs - as there are different pictures at each one! You can also read our experiences and some tips we learned from the engagement shoot ;) bubbles, wood letters as tall as me, bunting: it was all very us! Thanks you Jen of GWS and Jillian + Amanda of 100LC for the honor of having the photos on your blog.
