Mrs. Sprinkle's Picture
Mrs. Sprinkle, Los Angeles Age and Occupation: 26, Preschool Teacher Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Television Production/Writer Engagement Date: December 24, 2008 Wedding Date: September 2009 Venue: The Marvimon House About Me: I'm a Bay Area native trying to create a life for myself (and my fiance, and our three cats!) in the vast city of Los Angeles. I love vegan red velvet cupcakes, pilates ,and mid-century furniture. Mr. Sprinkle and I met when my band toured through his city (we bonded over cake and a mutual love of Morrissey) and we are getting married on the four year anniversary of our first date. When I am not teaching preschool (or blogging!) you can find me perfecting recipes, petting kittens, hiking in Griffith Park, and overusing exclamation points. We are planning a vegan, green-as-possible, DIY wedding, and I couldn't be more excited to share all of the details!

An Unusual Engagement

July 23rd, 2009 @ 4:24 pm by Mrs. Sprinkle

Deciding on a photographer for our wedding was an easy decision. We only met with a handful of people, but as soon as we began talking to Jordana we knew she would be the one. I actually found out about her amazing photography skills here on the Weddingbee boards. Jordana also did this amazing shoot with Mrs. Meatball!

Our engagement photos are in, and we couldn’t be happier about how they turned out. They are exactly what we wanted. Our photographer is amazing. Seriously, spectacular! I was so nervous throughout the shoot that I could barely hold myself together, but I don’t think it shows (much). You can go see Jordana’s very nice blog about us with all of the pictures posted. Or, view my favorites below! Enough words:

all photos: Hazelnut Photography

We had our photo shoot on Valentine’s Day, which happened to be the only sunny, beautiful day all week. We definitely lucked out; the rain in the days before made everything lush and green (and wet and slippery on our hike, but it was worth it). Mr. S and I wanted to be somewhere woodsy (Jordana knew just the right spot), and somewhere a bit unusual and unique. Hollywood Forever Cemetery turned out to be perfect. We even saw two furry graveyard cats! My favorite.

We ended up using one of these photos for our save the date magnets, and we managed to get everything mailed out by the end of February. I also bought a few packages of Moo stickers to be used in various wedding projects.

Did you end up incorporating your engagement photos into DIY wedding projects?

*Please note that I am laughing in almost every single photo. I could not keep a straight face throughout the entire shoot. Even if it appears that I am smiling, I’m not. This is mid-laugh!

I feel so out of the loop! What is Moo? I am going to google it. I have a feeling I will have to do some serious digging in order to filter through all the other “Moo” hits.
