Even though it SNOWED all day today (thanks a lot Ontario), and I have a mild self-diagnosed case of strep throat and I missed tonight's episode of the Mindy Project, my mood is at an all time high. Why you ask? We got our engagement photos! And I am honestly so thrilled with them. We were so lucky to have had such a wonderful and talented (and not to mention beautiful) photographer who also happens to be my lovely sister Sara Bell. (find her here!and here!)
Dallas and I really wanted our pictures to feel natural, candid and just capture how much fun we have with each other. We had a strict "no balloons, bow ties, suspenders or picnic baskets" policy. Essentially we wanted to stay away from contriving a scene with props, and just keep it real instead.
I didn't know how easy "trying-to-be-natural" would be and how attractive that would end up looking, but D immediately had me laughing and then it just snowballed from there. So it was easy. Attractive? I guess that's subjective. We can all be our own harshest critics, but I honestly wouldn't change a thing. The cracking up squinty-eyes, giggle double-chins, laugh lines and overly-animated storytelling faces, it's us. And it makes me truly happy inside to look at.
So here are a few...more to come
