Mrs. Scissors's Picture
Mrs. Scissors, LaGrange, GA Age and Occupation: 25, Photography & Graphic Design Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Engineering Grad Student Engagement Date: January 1, 2009 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Ceremony - First United Methodist Church; Reception - My parents' house! About Me: I’m a six-foot-three bride with a fifty-foot personality! I love great art, fabulous design, intense color, tons of music, indie photography, watching movies on repeat, and being really awesome. This super-tall, Southern, loud, quirky, neurotic artist is marrying a German, quiet, silly, super-amazing roboticist in an eclectic, funky, fun, snazzy, technicolored June wedding. Anything is game for this shindig, for it is all about us! We’re bringing giant paper cranes, six-foot-tall portraits, fortune cookies, a photo booth, a club-circuit DJ, handcuffs, and possibly a kidnapping to this small Southern town. Watch out, y’all, and try to keep up!

We’re Such Rock Stars

We're Such Rock Stars  :  wedding engagement pictures Doubler doublerock

Or at least that’s how I felt when we got the first glimpse of our engagement photos!

That morning I was elbow-deep in solvent and ink when I heard my blackberry a-buzzin’. There was nothing unusual about that, so I kept on doin’ my printmaking thing. After I de-gloved and cleaned off, I went to go check my phone, and lo and behold, there was an email from Matt Miller. Our engagement shots were up on his blog. I (slightly frantically) packed my stuff up and drove like a demon home to check them. Was I going to look like an oaf? Did my lack of posy-cheese-smile and my massive amounts of being a spaz ruin the shots?

No, no, and no. These photos are perfect, and I love them nineteen ways to Sunday. The locations are great, the colors are fantastic, and, well, we look like we belong in Rolling-Damned-Stone. Matt did a super amazing-fabulous-fantastic-rockin’-bananas-bat-nut job. They are more than I could have ever dreamed of!

Ok, I’ll stop yapping for a bit… here’s what we got as our first glimpse!

Holy awesome, Batman. It’s nice to have something that really represents us, because we’re not “stand there and cheese” kind of folks. If you all haven’t gathered already, we like things off the beaten path, and these are fo’ sho’ out in awesome-land.

Matt Miller, you are so full of win. Everybody, head over to Matt’s blog, give him some mad props, and also read the sweet and awesome stuff he wrote about us!

Who else was totally blown away by their engagement shoot? Did you go the traditional route or the non-traditional route?

@KatieBug3017: Yeah, he’s good at scruffly and non-scruffly. At present, he is not scruffly and has an almost buzzed head. Is nice. :p

@Lynn: That’s pretty cool! Yep, it’s us!

@crebre80: Maybe I’ll start slipping them into all of my posts. That’d be evil. lol

@diorable: It’s matted and framed on the wall. (The photo, not the bike. lol)

I really wish we’d gotten more creative with our e-pics. I just was so new to the wedding planning and whatnot to know that it was acceptable to do more than the matchy outfits and cheesy poses back then! I absolutely love these!

They’re great e pics!
We’re doing an after wedding shoot (what we decided) and then we can channel our inner rockstars too.

I envision some pics of us on the beach and somehow the movie “from here to eternity” makes sense!

{sigh} I love your e-pics. Too bad I first saw them after we did ours…. not that I don’t love ours, but they’re so traditional and I want rockstar too! You and the mister totally rocked your photo shoot! My favorite are the ones in the concrete chamber-thingys!
