About Mrs. Pinot Noir

Mr. Pinot Noir’s fabulous sister was kind enough to shoot an unofficial engagement session for the great price of one-margarita-and-Mexican-dinner! She is a semi-professional- she has a degree in photography- and we knew she would be able to capture some great shots!

We spent a cold winter day exploring New York City and capturing some of our favorite spots. We were hoping to get four different locations for use in our save-the-date magnets (more details soon).

Without further ado, the best of the best from The “Official” Unofficial Engagement Shoot:

Grand Central Station

Where did you take your engagement photos? Did anybody else explore some unusual locations or are we the only couple crazy enough to use a baseball stadium as our backdrop?

We took our engagement pictures around the downtown area of the city we live in. Our favorite backdrop was a huge brick wall in an alley covered with graffiti. This is one of my favorites from that shoot: http://tinyurl.com/65wyux I think the rusty yellow barrel definitely qualifies as “non-traditional.”

Love your pics!

We actually had ours done at Angels Stadium, inside, on the field, in the dugouts, bullpen, the whole thing - it was an amazing experience! We both wore our Angels jerseys and when we sent the pictures to my mom, she kept asking me why I didn’t wear a prettier outfit :)

@casablancabride: That is a great picture!

@Miss Sweet Tea: We are HUGE Yankees fans! We have a season ticket pack and go to every home Saturday game!

@Diana: That sounds like so much fun! I wish Mr. PN and I could have done something like that!

I love these…of course I’m also a huge fan of the city! But, they really are very cute, and what a great way to save a bit without feeling jipped! Engagement photos at the price of a drink and a meal is a great deal!

We did ours in the downtown area of a relatively tame small town. We wanted a more “urban” feel however, and somehow our photographer managed to make it appear that way! Our favorites, however, were those taken in front of textured and/or brightly colored backdrops — for example a steel grated door or a bright yellow wall with intriguing bumps and ridges.

Yours though are awesome — nothing beats the backdrop of NYC!
