Engagement Pics: My Favorites

September 20th, 2010 @ 12:44 pm by Mrs. Elephant

After seeing a glimpse of our engagement pictures, are you ready for my favorites? It was so hard to narrow it down, but here are my faves (not in any particular order) from our engagement shoot.

All pictures from Lynn Michelle Photography

The first two are the teasers that Lynn sent—love the lighting in the first one and the intimacy in the second.

The next one just looks so cool. I’m 99% sure that this is the one that we will make into a canvas print to display at the reception (part of our photography package).

A little wind adds to the romance of this one.

With the old-school train and truck and the placement of the suitcases and globe, this next one is perfect for our save-the-date magnet.

The Chucks were a want, not a need, and we love them!

The last set was taken outside of the train museum. Lynn has an eye that turns random flowers (or weeds) and an old rusty truck into great backdrops.

And here’s the photo for our pre-wedding thank you cards.

Sigh. I could look at these pictures all day.

After our engagement session at the railway museum, Lynn asked if we would like to meet up again with her to take some sunset pictures. She loves a good sunset shot, and due to the closing time of the museum, we knew we wouldn’t be there late enough for sunset pictures.

Of course we jumped at the chance to hang out with Lynn again and take more pictures! She even asked if we wanted to bring along my dog Gypsy to get in on the action. It’s hard to narrow it down, but here are my favorites from the sunset session for your viewing pleasure. :)

I love this next one of Gypsy and us! I just have to include it in our Christmas card this year. ;)

Saving the best for last. I can’t wait to get it enlarged! Look closely between us—notice anything interesting?

If you had engagement pictures taken, did you have a hard time picking a favorite?

i love! i honestly can’t pick a favorite.. they are all so beautiful! i’ve seen so many e-pics where the couple tries so hard to not be awkward, that the photos lose intimacy.. not you two! they look so natural, and you can really tell how in love you both are.

Was the state of Texas on purpose? Or did that just happen? Either way…very cool.

Aw these are just beautiful! We also took our little dog to have in some of our engagement photos. After seeing these, I’m so glad we did (we haven’t seen ours yet!)

OH and I had to go back and check to see…you are living in TX! That last one is awesome! I’m also wondering if it was intentional??

@ColaJae: @Beesgf: @Cheer02336: Good Eyes! And nope, it was not intentional. In fact I didn’t even notice it until I shared them with one of my co-workers who mentioned it. Our photographer didn’t notice it until she was uploading them into her computer. I thought it was so interesting how the clothes, body parts and height difference just worked out the way it did.

@dovelovesfalcon: Thank you, that is so sweet!

Thank you everyone! We had a blast taking them, even though it was about 95 the day we took them (that’s early May in Texas for ya).
