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….
