Mrs. Thimble's Picture
Mrs. Thimble, NYC/Philadelphia Age and Occupation: 26, Actress & Costume Designer (+ day job) Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Lawyer & Techie Wiz Engagement Date: August 22, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: The Pearl S. Buck House About Me: I’m an easily inspired over-thinker delighted with the process of designing, building, directing and {dare I say} co-starring in the early-autumn affair I’ve been dreaming up. I’m a sucker for trendied-up comfort foods and old family anecdotes; I have an affinity for adjectives, alliteration, eyelet and earl grey; and I live for quality time with family and friends. I never guessed I’d marry my “high school sweetheart", but when it turned out to be my funny, techie, loyal Mr. Thimble I was committed for life. We’re both mid-career transition and ready to move back to small-townish TBD, PA in a pre-wedding flurry of all-good life changes.
About Mrs. Thimble

Engagement Pictures: High School Sweethearts :  wedding engagement pictures philadelphia 0048 0048

Last month, Mr. Thimble and I had the pleasure of spending two fun-filled hours with our photographers, Lorraine and Greg of Lorraine Daley Photography, for our engagement session. As part of their wedding package, they like to spend some time with their couples for an e-sesh to build a rapport with them and most importantly to get them comfortable in front of the camera.

Our first attempt at casual e-pics around our neighborhood didn’t go so well. But I think we got most of our awkward out of our system in February because in these shots, we spend most of the time genuinely laughing, or kissing. In public. This was a big deal for the Thimbles!

Enough chit chat! On to the good stuff!

I had to have a quilt. It’s one of my favorite trends; it’s so comfy!

Except when squishing in for a picture… then it’s a little awkward. But we got the shot!

Where is this mysterious field, you ask? Lets pan out, shall we?

That would be our high school parking lot and some sports fields in the background.

For our pro pics I wanted to tell a little bit of our story and where we’re from. When we display some of these at the wedding it will be fun to remember how far we’ve come since “Best Couple 2002″. (Yeah, that happened… it was unexpected and an upset, but I guess the votes don’t lie!)

Sitting on top of The Rock—a victim of rival schools’ vandalism by paint every year. But this time it’s just showing blue and white school spirit!

Not our usual spot to sneak a make-out sesh.

In front of the front wall of the school- a concrete mural. Mr. T. calls this our folk album cover. I call it awesome.

One more for the road?

From here, we packed up and migrated next door to the adjacent PA State Park for some nature shots and more gorgeous sunset light. Are you sick of our faces yet? There’s more to come!

How did you choose your engagement session location?

Aww shucks you guys!
@LE: the shoes are by Lucky Brand via Piperlime.com
@pam2899: Mr. Thimble’s t-shirt is from threadless.com. He loves that site, they have lots of quirky fun (and ironic hipster) stuff.

Haha, that’s awesome! I’m so jealous of your venue - the Pearl S. Buck house is gorgeous (sadly it didn’t fit in our budget). It’s been nice to read about someone from (near) my hometown!

Those shoes are killing me… I love them! We did our e-pics in the area where we actually got engaged. In fact, I have pictures of us on the very bench where he asked me to marry him. There are no words for how much I love that.
