Our Engagement Session

September 18th, 2008 @ 4:05 pm by Mrs. Meatball

Back in March, I won a free engagement session contest for Best Proposal from Kelly Lynn Photography…. which I found out about on the Weddingbee boards!

Kelly was great at making us feel cute and comfortable, and we had a great time shooting with her. But honestly, doing an engagement shoot is just so fun! You get all dressed up…. special make-up**, hot outfits, and snuggle all day. It’s so nice, like those first months when you’re just falling in love and can’t keep your hands off each other! It really made me feel all the reasons I fell in love with Mr. Meatball all over again. And it made me feel so appreciative of his affection… it’s tender, yo! For once, I wasn’t nervous and stiff in front of the camera (as I am wont to be), because I was just so relaxed in the sunshine of his love. Totally makes me feel better about the BIG day and all those photos. I’m actually kind of looking forward to it now.

Griffith Observatory was a great location choice (thanks to Mr. Meaty), and while they took issue with Kelly’s equipment (laaaame), the security dude let us shoot as long as we kept the reflector down. It’s particularly special because one of our favorite pastimes is hiking up to and around the Observatory and enjoying the views. On a clear day, you can see snow capped mountains on one side and the ocean on the other! Plus, the Observatory has such beautiful architecture and nooks and crannies to shoot in. It was perfect.

Have a look at a few favorites:

Pretty sweet, don’t you think? Isn’t my skirt the cutest?!? It’s from the same designer who’s making my dress. But, that’s for another post, my dearies….

Oooh! The Griffith Observatory - what a fabulous backdrop. I (unlike you) was totally unnatural in front of the camera at first. It took me a good 20 minutes or so to warm up and stop giggling like a school girl. Thank goodness we decided to do e-pics…got some practice before the big day! Your pics are just adorable!

I love the Griffith Observatory — perhaps b/c I love the fight scene from Rebel w/o a Cause. These photos are adorable.

Your fiance looks like he’s 18! Not that you aren’t a PYT, but talk about a babyface. For serious!

@Vic004: He’s been growing out and rocking an afro lately - everywhere we go, people want to touch it :)
@Griffen: It must have great love mojo then!
@Carly7215: You’re so sweet but I’m completely nervous in front of cameras, too. Practice makes perfect, yo.
@twelvetigers: I know. He gets that everywhere. One coordinator at a venue we visited was like “Honey are you old enough to be married?” Bahahahaha!

Thank you so much for posting the pictures that we took. You two were such a pleasure to work with. I wish you the best of luck with your planning.

Also thank you to all of you for the wonderful comments. Beautiful pictures cannot be taken without beautiful brides like yourselves.
