The Cookies’ Engagement Photos, Scene 1, Take 2
August 25th, 2008 @ 10:56 am by Mrs. Cookie
Last Tuesday, we met with our dynamic duo of photographers, Mark and Michele of IN Photography, to redo our engagement photos. Boy, the contrast between this e-shoot and our last one was night and day! (I really wish I could show you the other e-photos so you can see the difference, but alas, due to copyright issues I can’t!) Our last shoot was very posed and stiff and didn’t captured the essence of Red Rocks, this amazing park/amphitheater outside of Denver, at all. I am so glad we switched photographers because our shoot with Mark and Michele was twenty times more fun, candid, and they totally nailed the beauty of Red Rocks.
Out of over 85 shots, we are having a really hard time narrowing down our favorites — we love them all. Here are some of our favorite photos in our formal attire:
Although the appropriate shoes for this type of terrain were certainly not heels, they were absolutely necessity for this short cookie. As you can see, Mr. Cookie is still taller than me even when I’m wearing 3″ heels and am standing on a rock. Mark and Michele were so afraid I was going to twist my ankle during this part of our shoot.
I love this shot of the foothills!
Mark and Michele asked us to dance, similar to how we would dance at the wedding. I put my head on Mr. Cookie’s chest and then…
…he dipped me. A shocked and surprised look on my face followed.
Then, off to the Red Rocks amphitheater for our causal photos…

They look fantastic! And for whatever my $0.02 is worth, I like the third one from the top the best (off-center landscape shot).
I like the 3rd one from the top best too, the classic “foot pop” I love it. They’re all beautiful though.
I like the foothills one and other more “natural” poses. I like the scenery a lot!
Very cute dip picture. I love the backdrop! I’ve always wanted to go to Red Rocks.
Those are fantastic!
Love these, especially the fabulous dip. I’m so glad the photography debacle resolved itself — it really has worked out for the best!
These are great! You definitely made a good decision, getting these taken. The picture of you two dancing together is so sweet.
LOVE them!!
WOW those turned out beautifully! I love the one w/ the dip 
great! I’m really glad you’re writing about the difference between a mediocre photography experience and a fantastic one. It makes me really sad to see so many people focused on getting the ‘best deal’ that they lose sight of quality and personality and style.
You must be so happy!

Mr. Cookie totally reminds me of Milan Hejduk of the Avalanche! You lucky girl! ;-D

About Me: With a degree in Theatre I never realized that planning a wedding was a lot like Theatre Management, until I started planning my own. I am a coffee addict, especially Starbucks' Grande Mochas, yummy! I love to cook (especially chocolate chip cookies for my honey), travel to exotic places, and be creative. As a couple, Mr. Cookie and I are extremely practical, down to earth, and children at heart. We live in a cozy abode with our adorable Pomeranian, and love to play board games and watch movies into the evening.
Love them! I’m so glad that you are happy with your decision - it will make you feel so much better in the end (and your pics look great)!
