E-pics: Part I

April 30th, 2009 @ 4:07 pm by Mrs. Beagle

Before I jump into showing pictures, I wanted to talk about how I chose our photographer. Ashley and I were in the same Girl Scout troop for almost 10 years. Yes, we struggled through getting our Silver & Gold Awards through middle school and high school. After high school, we both went off to college, and about a year ago, I discovered that she had become a very talented wedding photographer (you can visit some more of her great pictures here). As soon as I discovered this, I knew I wanted to hire her for our wedding if she was available, and she was! I am so happy to be working with someone who I feel very comfortable around and who is so good at what she does. So now, without further ado:

The first two pictures were taken at the dog park in our neighborhood (unfortunately we only got two or three good shots with Kingsley—he was super excited our little adventure and got a little distracted by all the activity going on). The remaining pictures are from various spots at Zilker Park. Our original plan was to sneak into to Zilker Gardens, where we got engaged (ssshhh don’t tell anyone, they charge a fee for professional photos), but there was a garden festival being held there the weekend we took our pictures, and it was ridiculously crowded.

Stay tuned for part II!

What made you choose your photographer?

Ha! Good for you for sneaking into the park sans fee to get your pics. You guys look so cute! (Your hair looks good like that, btw!)

I absolutely love that shot of you two walking w/kingsley. I’m not sure we will be able to get even 3 shots of our pup being calm! She’s super rambunctious!

Great pictures - I love the one of you two on the bridge.

I chose my photographer b/c he did my brother’s wedding the year before and was awesome and hilarious!

These are beautiful…and you both look so comfortable and dont look like your posing…I hate when couples look like they are trying to be in a magazine!! I love the kissing one and the one of you two in the trees. Congrats on finding someone you know!!

@Gerbera: I wish we would have brought doggy treats. I think that would have helped guide his attention towards the camera. Too bad I thought of this after the fact though.

@Miss Mascara: Free is wonderful! Ashley was not free, but she was able to create a custom package for us at a discount.

Awww, love that you have such a great connection to your photographer! I was also a Girl Scout — until my troop disbanded while I was a cadet.

The dog park shots are so cute — can’t wait to see more!

@Miss Texas: Hmm, not sure how mine wasn’t static-y. I think the humidity outside had something to do with it. The pictures were the first time I had worn the shirt and I haven’t worn it since then, so I don’t have any advice at the moment.

It’s funny, I find a lot of e-pics cheesy, but I absolutely love these photos - you guys look adorable and very much in love. And Kingsley is a cutie!
