About Mrs. Glasses

Shinjuku Gyoen

August 11th, 2010 @ 8:08 am by Mrs. Glasses

Our first round of e-pics makes me happy; we’ll get tons of use out of them because of our cherry blossom theme. We started the day off at Shinjuku Gyoen, a massive “park” in an urban area. It’s filled with cherry blossom trees, although they weren’t particularly out at this time. Nevertheless, we picked a tree that was about 80% in bloom and posed under it. I was nervous about having my picture taken professionally, but I think they turned out pretty great!

These were taken by our awesome photographers, Hunter and Alfie, over at japanorama.

I think the stuff under the tree is adorable and pretty. That first picture is what we used for our save the dates! I told Mr. Glasses to change up the poses ever so slightly in every picture so that we’d have some variation.

E-pic Tip Two: Think about the weather. Dress for the weather. It was absolutely freezing on our e-pic day! We were so, so cold taking these. If you are taking your e-pics during the winter (although these are technically during spring, we had winter temperatures), pick out a cute, WARM winter outfit.

What was the weather like for your e-pics? Did you have to bundle up? Were you able to wear a cute sundress?

Oh, Ms. Glasses! I love these the second time around as much as I did the first. I’m the goofy girl who thought you took these pics in DC instead of Japan, where cherry blossoms come from, d’oh :P.
