Mrs. Socks's Picture
Mrs. Socks, Southern NJ/Philadelphia, PA Age and Occupation: 23, Web Developer/Marketing Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Systems Engineer Engagement Date: September 7, 2009 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: Ladder 15 Restaurant About Me: I am originally from the Midwest, but I love being an East Coast transplant! Mr. Socks and I are foodies and winos to the core---give us a hunk of cheese, some charcuterie and a glass of wine and we could die happy. We have two mischievous Wire Fox Terriers with completely opposite personalities but with a shared love of uprooting anything in our garden. Our backyard garden includes everything from tomatoes and peppers to a fig tree, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries! I love cooking, indie music, and spending time in our wedding city of choice---Philly!
About Mrs. Socks

The next batch of photos are some of my favorites from our shoot! I was so glad we decided to bring the props we did—they made for fun, interesting photos and mostly cut down on general photo awkwardness since we had something other than the camera to focus on! If you’re nervous around the camera, I highly recommend using different props—it made the experience much more fun and Mr. Socks and I felt much more comfortable during these photos.

Mr. Socks: “I think I love you more than wine. I think.”

Miss Socks: “Oh, honey! You’re so sweet!”

Mr. Socks: “I must impress you with my wine knowledge!”

Miss Socks: “I didn’t know you could read! This is the first time I’ve seen you with a book!”

It may appear that our noses have fused together here, but we do, in fact, have separate ones.

Yes, I had to go there.

Mr. Socks: “This could totally be a Citizen Watch ad. Totally.”

Mr. Socks: “I’m glad I’m super secure with my masculinity right now.”

Miss Socks: “Ooooh pretty!”

Miss Socks: “There’s grass up my skirt. It itches.”

Mr. Socks: “You deserve it after making me throw pink petals in the air.”

Miss Socks: “I really hope the sky looks cool right now because this pose is uncomfortable.”

Miss Socks: “Holy Moly, could we really be cool enough to do a silhouette shot?”

Mr. Socks: “I wish I had a cowboy hat right now. Doesn’t this feel like a photo where I need a cowboy hat?”

All photos courtesy of Georgi Anastasov.

So, there you have some of my fave pics! We are so incredibly happy with all of the photos—there are over 250 photos from our session with Georgi! I highly recommend him to any Philly area bride!

Did you use props during your engagement shoot? Did they help you relax and be yourself?

Oh wow, your shots are really cool. I saw some in your previous posts. They are making me rethink our decision not to do engagement shots.

So I am officially jealous of your wardrobe. Such cute pieces! You’re just lucky I already had plans in North Jersey preventing me from attending the Philly Bee meetup, otherwise I would totally try and get you to donate to my wardrobe. So cute!

They are great! My fav is the one of you both laying down and looking to the side with your hand on his chest, it looks like you both are really having a good laugh. Second fav is the serenade shot. I’m totally going to use props now thanks to you.
