Real Engagement : a girl serenaded by her special man on guitar

Earlier this week I met an amazing photographer who came thru last minute to help me photograph my very first designed/styled photo shoot. I won't go into detail of what led to me having to find a last minute photographer but like they say, "everything happens for a reason". This is so true and Monday proved this to me. First up today from Tiffany Wayne Photography is a cute engagement session with Beth and Nate that took place in Saratoga, NY. Nate has proposed to Beth in an original song and the shots towards the end is when he's singing it again. Nate is also the lead vocalist for his band Barkeater.

The bottom two photos are one of my favorites :)

I'll be back a little later this morning with more from Tiffany Wayne and an amazing photo shoot for a local accesssory designer that she styled and photographed.

Real Engagement : a Prince + an Elf {fairy themed imaginary story}

You may remember seeing Nicol previously on my blog for both her first engagement session and trash the dress session. Today, my blog reader from Romania shares with us her latest photo shoot that is the ultimate in creativity. Nicol and her fiance, John, along with their friends, have put together an imaginary story {photos and video} about a prince who falls in love with an elf queen and she leaves her powers to become human for him. This is definitely an engagement shoot theme that I have never seen done before and I LOVE the imagination that went into it. I've also included the video below from the shoot, loving the music selected to accompany it. Congratulations again Nicol and John - looking forward to hearing about your civil ceremony and wedding in the USA this summer.

The vendors for the photo shoot included:
Ioan Margineanu {photography}
Gabriela Cherestes {makeup}
Zenus Film {video}

Real Engagement : in NYC with vegan cupcakes and vintage hats

Isn't this e-session of Jessica and Tripp from Indigo Foto super cute and fun? The shoot started out at the Lower East Side dive bar, "Welcome to the Johnsons". Jessica and Tripp first met here and Tripp's last name is Johnson. They also went back there the night of the big proposal. Other spots in the Lower East Side they went to included BabyCakes Vegan Bakery, a vintage hat store and a cafe.

Thank you Indigo Foto for sharing this lovely engagement shoot with my readers today. To see more from Indigo Foto, please visit their web site and blog, where you can see the engagement video of Jessic and Tripp.

Real Engagement Session : a super cute couple and a little dog

This is one of the cutest engagement sessions, not only are Jenna and Dylan an adorable couple, but they also included a cute little guy named Oscar in their e-session. The photos were taken by Rebecca Sehn, who is located in British Columbia, Canada. Jenna and Dylan chose Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver for their engagement shoot and the views are nothing short of spectacular.

Real Engagement Session : a couple from "Sweet Home Alabama"

Today's amazingly stylish engagement shoot comes to us from Micha Everett Photography in Florida. You would never know that the day these photos were taken it was an awful weather day and there was no sunlight at all. Both the photos and the couple from Alabama are simply stunning. To make up for the weather, Ashley and Jeremy have scheduled another shoot with Micha for next month. Can't wait to see that second set. Aren't Ashley and Jeremy just the most adorable couple? Super stylish and super happy together, you can't help but smile when looking at the photos. To see more from Micha Everett Photography, please visit her web site and blog.
