I found Erin on Wedding Chicks; she was looking to fill out her portfolio a little and was offering limited engagement sessions for $50. I figured it was such a great price that it was definitely worth the risk.

Although we haven’t gotten our photos back, here are a few of the ones she posted on her blog. I had originally planned on wearing a super cute spring dress to our e-pics, but the morning of the shoot when we woke up it was soo cold and overcast. I was a little worried that it would look super cloudy and gross, but the sky actually looks pretty amazing.

I took forever to find a deserted beach in the New York area. We really didn’t want an urban/city shoot, so we started the search for an appropriate beach. Although the popular beaches were out of the question because there would be too many people and too much trash on the beach. Finally, we found Fort Tilden, which is a deserted military fort out in Queens. We rented a Zipcar and drove about an hour to meet our mysterious photog for a few hours of fun on the beach.

I love this huge rose. Mr. Pancakes bought it for me for Valentine’s Day three years ago, when we were living in Bangkok. Her name is Orchid Valentine, and I brought her back to the U.S.

I was a little disappointed about my outfit situation, but I think that they turned out all right…I can’t wait to see the rest!
