Mrs. Giraffe's Picture
Mrs. Giraffe, Chicago Age and Occupation: 23, Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Music Student Teacher Engagement Date: October 23, 2008 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: Trinity Lutheran Church & Idlewild Country Club About Me: Coming from the suburbs of the Windy City, you'll often find me with my foot in my mouth while laughing for no reason or telling bad knock knock jokes. I've been crafty for as long as I can remember, and will DIY something twice over before I have someone do it for me. I'm a semi-awkward, typeface obsessed, design junkie and have been know to break out my dance moves for no reason as well as try my best to be ridiculous at all times. My love of pop culture, wordplay, and graph paper almost rivals my love of Mr. Giraffe (who is just the bee's knees). After a 2.5 year engagement, we're planning a modern-in-disguise traditional wedding, and cannot wait!
About Mrs. Giraffe

BAM! I’m starting off with this amazing photo to stun and take your breath away!

Engagement Photos (Also Called: Hot Giraffes and Cool Shoes) :  wedding chicago engagement pictures Customi1 customi


Got your attention now, don’t I?!

Hive, I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting to share these with you guys. Get ready to be totally overwhelmed with amazement! I can think of a few words to describe our photos (amazing, wonderful, unbelievable, best ever in the whole wide world, love, love love), but words really can’t do them justice.

All photos taken and edited by the wonderfully talented Ryan & Sara Miller of Miller+Miller Photography. I felt totally awkward going into our e-pics because I’m not used to being in front of a camera, but Ryan & Sara were amazing, and despite the fact that I was whispering to Mr. G as our photos were being taken (”Are they looking at us? Are they taking the photo now?”), they did an amazing job. Ryan did the shooting and Sara did some amazing art direction and really helped us look good in front of the camera.

The Millers know their stuff, hardcore, and I would recommend them to anyone (especially others who are worried their total awkwardness will show through in their photos)!

Now, like I said, since words can’t do them justice, I will let the photos speak for themselves!

I swear I tried to narrow them down. I really did. That might even be too many photos for one post; I don’t know!

Anyway—I love them! I’m sooooo happy with them!

The Millers are amazing! Feel free to visit their blog post of us to see more photos (or to give them love)!

Anyone else pleasantly surprised by their e-photos?

What a great spread for time and outfits! I love how the moods really change from soft, soft day lighting with a grey cast to vibrant, deep evening colors.
