It was a little cold after we stood outside in front of randomness, so we took shelter in a subway station, with Shannon from Fromage Photography snapping away.
That was my displeased face. Here’s my happy face. Aw.
But as is wont to happen in a subway station, the familiar smell of pee became a bit too much and we headed out into the strangest park I’ve ever seen!
There were top hats. And person-shrinking dominoes.
Have you ever played the game Sorry? I’m not a fan of that game. But alas, there was a Sorry piece, too.
As our time with Shannon was drawing to a close, we stopped for one more treat: duh, cupcakes, at Philly Cupcake.
I loved this experience for two reasons: meeting Shannon, who is adorable, and getting comfortable in front of a camera. We acted as naturally as we could—we’re pretty awkward folks—and it definitely seems to translate well in pictures. If you have a chance to do an engagement session, do it!
Did you find any strange backdrops for your engagement pictures? What were they?
Have I mentioned that I love your coat? Because it’s gorgeous!
So, as an equally camera shy, awkward type, how did you loosen up in front of the lens? Any tips? we’re getting our e photos taken soon.
Holy crap, your whole outfit is so perfect. I love it!! The tights, the shoes, the skirt and top, the coat. I feel like it’s a preview of your wedding colors and style, and that makes me so excited to see your wedding!!
That park is amazing! I love that big Monopoly hat! And your pictures are soooo cute!
Your outfits are FAN-TASTIC! I love the way you styled yourself and your FI so much. Great pics!
i love the game pieces too!!! we are taking a few e-pics….our first session is this summer! eeeeeeeeeee! i’m nervous and excited 
Ok, is it just me, or does Mr. Ribbons look like Jim from The Office? You guys are adorable!
I’m so excited because I recognize your locations!! I work in Philly and have gotten off at the wrong El stop and walked down that horrible smelling hallway and walked through that amazing (yet random) game piece park. Love your photos!!
love the game pieces. didn’t one of the other bees take pictures at that park?
@lilyfaith: Well, at first we were just giggling because it was totally strange to have someone photographing us. We also narrated what we were doing to make it feel like we weren’t posing. Like “We’re sitting on a bingo piece. Look at that building. My, that building is large.” It helped, seriously!
@Mrs. Mouse: I’m pleased you caught on
@Miss Pudding: I told him you said this, and he said, “as long as no one compares me to Ross from Friends, I’m happy.”
@tea: I have no idea, but I think it’s a pretty prominent park!
Those giant dominoes, chess pieces and top hats are out of this world and are so cool to be used as props for your photo shoot! That’s a great idea to have the shoot at that place. I bet it made you feel like “Alice in Wonderland?” Great outfit too, love the photos!!!
Great pics! And I’m also biased b/c Mr. Cupcake proposed to me in front of those huge dominoes
