I absolutely adore our engagement pictures. One of my favorite things about them was the price. The very best Price. FREE! as in $0.00. Perfect. If you recall, my mother was visiting us when Mr. Aardvark proposed. She is a very talented armature photographer and was able to work wonders with my dinky little point and shoot! The day after we got engaged the three of us trekked out to a park near our house and got some really great shots. We were both still giddy and glowing over the new engagement and I really think it comes through in the pictures.

So without anymore unnecessary yapping, here are a couple of my favorites:

I like to call this one the “Album Cover” I am pretty sure neither of us were ready for the picture but it looks kinda cool. Right?

There is a really nice band shell in the park, so we decided to put on a little show.

I think we were instructed to “Look wistfully into your future” or something like that.

This is one of my very favorite pictures. Thank goodness I was wearing a slip!

We were very precariously perched for this one. I think I may have actually been falling.

That last one is so dreamy…

These are just a few of the many good shots we got that day. I am so grateful Mama Aardvark was able to take them. Now that the wedding is drawing nearer and we have our photographer booked, we’ve learned that their package include a complimentary engagement session! With our daily lives in Wisconsin and the wedding (and wedding photographers) in Michigan, we are unsure of how we will pull that off. Maybe we will get some day after shots… any suggestions?

*All photos are personal, and cute! (Not to brag [well maybe to brag a little]).

Did you score something for free from a “friendor” or family member?
