Many of my parent's friends are from Russia and the Ukraine as well.

Engagement Pictures

Vermont was very nice. The Equinox hotel was very overpriced - I suggest you stay in a B&B instead.

We took engagement pictures and while they came out “nice” (i.e. my mother LOVES them), they weren’t really what I wanted. Way too “posed.” Plus the hotel didn’t have our room ready until 4pm and we were taking pictures at 4:30, so I didn’t have time to do my hair, etc. They were pretty cheap so I’m disappointed, but not too upset. At least my parents and grandparents have a few nice pictures of us to frame and we have a pic to send to the NY Times.

I don’t think we will take engagement pictures in NYC. I don’t want to waste any more money and we don’t really need them. Here are a few (there were 90 total ).

*EDIT*

Thanks for the compliments on the pictures. I like how they came out but they are just not the type of e-pics I was hoping to get. I wanted the “frolicking in the park” type where the photographer is just an observer. Anyway, these are nice pictures for what they are.
