I’m sure many of you are aware of the wondrous website that is Pinterest. I was pinning for the wedding long before we got engaged, and the pins have been coming fast and furious ever since.
One of my favorite things to pin is photography inspiration. I’m lucky enough that our photographers at studiOsnap have been following my “Snap It” board and getting lots of ideas for our shoots! Now that we have all of our engagement photos back, it has been fun to look at the original inspiration pictures and see how they were made a reality.

I may be biased, but I think I like ours better than the inspiration photos!
Where did you look for engagement-photo inspiration?
Your pictures look amazing! I love your inspiration pics and I have pinned many of the same ones! Too bad my dogs are not as well behaved as yours!
Aside from complete doggy love, the photo with the wine glass is awesome!
Me too I so love the puppy pics and all of the pren-up or engagement pics. This gives me idea on my engagement pictorial that I will include my pets. Very cute.
Love!!! And you’re right – we are post day twins 
We thought about doing some with our pets but they’re both pretty moody and uncooperative..total A-listers!
The one with Mr. A lifting you out of the water is amazing, so gorgeous! And I love your doggy ones too!
This may be one of my favorite weddingbee posts ever! Great idea and love how the pics turned out!
@MsMagtoMrsK: @Miss Camera: Wingman was definitely not as cooperative as he may appear! We enlisted some friends to help wrangle him, though, and we were happy to have him there.
@samsmartypants: You’re making me blush!
I LOVE the one with you two and the glass of wine. That’s absolutely perfect!
This might be one of the coolest ways to show off your engagement pics that I have yet seen on the ‘Bee. You really did outdo your inspiration pictures! (And your dog is WAAAAYYY cuter than their dog.)
You guys look great!
I love the pictures of the two of you!
One question: Where’d you get that dress? Too cute.
1. I agree, yours are better than the inspiration photos – which were awesome to begin with, so you just have a total win.
2. What a GREAT idea! I would’ve felt so successful and accomplished after that.
Those are perfect!! I like yours with your dog MUCH better than the inspiration one. I have 4 dogs, and we tried to get them in our engagement pics. It succeeded a maximum of 4 pics and one of them had me cracking up so bad I was crying. I totally LOVE your pictures!
Holy cow, what a cute post! I *love* the idea of comparing pins to reality! And how cute is your furbaby?!? (Btw, that lasst photo is blow-up-to-poster-size-and-hang-on-the-wall stunning! WAY better than the original!!)
@jmarvellous: The first dress is from Rue 21, and the second dress is from Forever 21, coincidentally!
@Miss Palm Tree: Our photographers are the real miracle workers — they took our inspiration photos and brought them to life!@ladymegbeth: Thanks! That’s my FMIL favorite, too.

I am the definition of a multi-tasker and like to believe I am also a perfectionist, but my horrible short-term memory likes to prove otherwise. I'm an English major and a pretty punny girl, so get ready for some really horrible plays on words! When I'm not consumed with wedding planning, I enjoy copious amounts of television and an equally unhealthy addiction to bacon.
