Wedding Blog

In Chile couples don’t usually do engagement photography sessions. What a bummer, huh? Since we are working on a tight budget, we decided that an engagement session was one of those things we were going to cut out in order to stay within budget. But now we’re back in the game, and the Poodles are going to have an engagement session! *happy dance*

As usual, I searched for inspiration! And what better place to start than here, in the hive! I had to show you all (in case you haven’t seen these before in the Gallery and on the Boards) some of my favorite e-pics.

First from katiebug3017: I love the way they included their hairy babies in the shots, especially since they met while taking them to the beach.

After seeing these pictures, I love the idea of including my baby poodle Curly in our shots.

From Miss.Gator: I absolutely love their shots in the water. This is definitely a very unique scenario.

Since I was a hardcore swimmer in college, I would love to do some shots in the water, but it might be too cold in CA by the time I get there.

From Future Mrs. Martin: I love shots where couples are laying on the ground, and the leaves look so perfect.

I would love to have some nature in our pictures, but since our wedding will have a very rustic feel, I started to look for more city inspiration.

From Jesstagirl: How fun and colorful are these pictures? I love how they used the painted walls!

I love the graffiti and urban feel in these pictures. I bet there are ton of colorful walls and graffiti around LA.

From Miss Disney: I love the color in these ones, too! I can’t get enough of these bright colored walls.

From nelzbels: How hot is this photo?

Wasn’t that some lovely hive inspiration?

And of course, now that we are having an engagement session, I have the perfect excuse (OK, another excuse) to make a dress and search for cool accessories to wear.

Since I love to tease you all, I’m going to show you what my baby Curly did while I has working hard on a dress, and here you can actually see the fabric I’m using for it.

{ Yes! he slept the whole time! My fabric reminds me of Miss Dachshund’s colors! }

We know we want our e-pics to have an urban feel, but we need to start the search for cool places we can  use as backdrops. Since I’ll be new to the area, I’ll have no idea where to look for locations, and even though Mr. Poodle lives in CA, he doesn’t often visit LA.  We thought about taking pics at places we’ve already been in LA, but I think we might be missing some cool shots or locations because we don’t know where to look for them.

So hive, if you took your e-pics out of town or in an unfamiliar place, how did you decide what locations to use?
