Mrs. Turtle's Picture
Mrs. Turtle, Central California Age and Occupation: 21, Art Student/Teacher Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, English Student Engagement Date: August 16, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Mr. Turtle's Grandparents' backyard, Arroyo Grande, CA About Me: I am a California girl who loves the beach and the mountains, but is quite satisfied living right in the middle where I can enjoy the best of both worlds. I am happiest when traveling to faraway places, wandering through museums, watching old movies, or baking up a storm. Mr. Turtle and I are high school sweethearts and fellow book nerds who both drive Mini Coopers and are most likely to be found browsing in antique stores. We're having so much fun planning our European garden wedding with a vintage twist and can't wait to share more of life's adventures together!
About Mrs. Turtle

About three weeks ago, we met up with our wonderful photographer (and new friend) Chloe Murdoch, with Mike Larson Photography Inc., to take our engagement pictures. We had such a wonderful time getting to know Chloe and learning to be ourselves in front of the camera. As excited as I was about our shoot, both Mr. Turtle and I found ourselves pretty nervous that day since we’d never done anything like that before. We incorporated all three of our outfit choices (with some minor adjustments) and a few great props. We started out at our favorite ice cream parlor, followed by a swinging bridge, and ended the day in a beautiful field. Chloe posted a sneak preview of our pictures, and I’d love to share them with you!

We both are so thrilled with our pictures, because we feel like they really capture us. I can’t imagine how we’re going to narrow them down to our favorites! I’m already brainstorming up uses for them. Our photography package comes with one canvas that we’ll display at the wedding. I’m also thinking about using some for our guestbook.

Have you found any fun ways to share and enjoy your engagement pictures both at the wedding and afterward? I’d love to hear your ideas!

So cute! Love the ice cream parlor ones! And that polka dot dress is great! But I agree - the sitting on the bridge one is GREAT! My favorite!

Adorable e-pics! I’m making a photobook for my grandma that lives in another state and will likely not be present at our wedding.

Beautiful! You guys are an adorable couple :) I can’t even decide which is my favorite but I may have to go with the majority here and say the one of you on the bridge - it’s perfectly casual.

And I do love the purple shoes!
