Engagement Photos: My story

Getting ready to take engagement photos was so nerve-racking for me! I was so worried about what I was going to  wear! I went to the mall countless times tying to pick out the perfect outfit. In the end though, the perfect outfits where right there in my closet waiting for me! So if you're stressing about what to wear, take a moment and see what you already have that you love and feel great in. It could save you a lot of trouble and money!

When picking your outfits however, make sure to pick something that you feel will last through time and that you won't look back on asking yourself why did I wear that? Make sure to be careful of patterns, jewelry and anything that could be too distracting and take the focus away from you and your fiancé. Talk to your fiancé and make sure your outfits coordinate and can play off of each other well. Talk to your photographer before picking a couple of outfits; many photographers may charge for an outfit change.

For my engagement photos I used Lady Lace Photography. Laci was so fun to work with and so helpful! I first heard of Laci from my fiancés roommate who just suggested I check her out and I am so glad I did! She made it so fun! Of course on the day we picked to take photos it became extremely windy, but Laci knew how much these photos meant to me. She really spent the extra time to edit the pictures and make sure I didn't have to many flyaways in my face! Her technique is amazing and I couldn't have been happier!






This was our favorite picture! We used this picture for our engagement announcements! I love how it's straight on us, but how she is taking the picture gives it a different angle!





This was us just goofing off! I loved it, but my fiancé thinks it's super silly. I guess it is, but that's what I love about it! Laci found this little  wheel barrow and suggested I get in it and it just made it super fun!






Once again, I can't get over the angle! I love it!





I really love this photo because it was us a lot more relaxed and Laci was able to capture that perfectly. I love her angles, but I love how she could see that we were more relaxed for this photo and did a more relaxed, straight on shot.





There is this great little church that I had passed by so many times and had thought what a great place it would be to take photos at! When I suggested it to Laci she was all over the idea and so willing to try anywhere I wanted! I was so happy!





 Laci really helped tell us where to look and when to/not look at her. I loved how this picture turned out with just my fiancé looking straight at the camera!






This photo was all Laci! She really tries to capture those special moments when you are not even paying attention to her. We were just taking a short break and it totally made for the perfect natural picture!








If you haven't already, most definitely check her out under my photographers tab to be directed to her website! If you have any questions at all just call her. I must have called her a million times and she was always more then happy to talk! She also has an amazing deal going on right now!
