Mrs. Hamster, New York City Age and Occupation: 28, Finance Gal Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Finance Guy Engagement Date: March 9, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: The Pierre Hotel About Me: I'm an original Jersey girl living it up in the big NYC! I love baking for others, hosting brunches, and exploring NYC with my mans. Besides Mr. Hamster (of course), I'm attracted to shiny things, bold colors, snacks, matching and coordination, pork and duck fats, miniature versions of things, corny jokes and puns. We are planning a swanky Spring wedding in the heart of NYC, followed by a second reception in Singapore. From one city that never sleeps to another - I can't imagine a more exciting ride!
About Mrs. Hamster

I am so excited to share our engagement photos with the Hive! After much deliberation over my outfit as well as the man’s, only to have our engagement shoot rescheduled due to crazy weather, we were able to finally have our shoot with our photographer, Erica Lyn.

Being in DUMBO, of course we had to take pictures by the Brooklyn Bridge:

Erica also found some really neat little areas, such as this long, narrow walkway.

Hey good lookin’! How YOU doin’? :)

Erica thought this blue wall would provide a cool backdrop - she was right!

Cracking up because we couldn’t follow Erica’s simple directions to do a dance twirl.

Fun with doorways.

We had such a great time doing the shoot - even though we are both goofy by nature and had to act lovey-dovey at times, it was a lot of fun!

Did you decide to have an engagement shoot? How did it turn out?

@Miss Hamster - Those pictures are gorgeous, you’re making me lean towards a NYC engagement shoot now. And Erica Lyn will probably be my photographer too!

They are super cute!!! These pics are taken right by my office! Just about everyday I see people out there taking engagement pictures. Sometimes I even see trash the dress shoots. It’s cool to see some of the pictures!
