Wedding Wednesday: Engagement Photos

April 23, 2014 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC39 Comments

Happy Hump Day! Per usual, I’m linking up with Jordon and Meredith for Wedding Wednesday! I thought today I’d share a few pics from our engagement shoot. Since K and I didn’t settle on our photographer until late December, we decided to do our engagement shoot once the weather got warm again. So we did our shoot about a month ago, about ten minutes away from our venue. It was really fun getting to know our photographer, Stacey, and we’re so excited to have her shoot the big day!

The weather was super windy the day we shot and so my hair looked crazy pretty much the whole time. But, we still had some great shots. I love the shots with Sasha, because that’s pretty much how it always looks like when we walk her. This next picture below is one of my favorites from the day. I saw this covered bridge online and thought it looked like a little barn. We were able to track it down and get a few pictures using it.

I like this one because it features my purty ring. No, but seriously, this is a super common engagement / wedding photo and I was kinda meh about the pose but love how it turned out…

I also LOVE this next picture. I think it’s just really cool photography and love how it turned out.

Since we obviously didn’t include these pictures in any save the dates, we will frame a few and put them on display at the wedding. Happy Wednesday and don’t forget to visit the other blogs in this linkup!

    The photos are beautiful! I was a bit meh on engagement photos but I actually am really glad we did them because it allowed us to get to know our photographer and get comfortable with her and the camera. I don’t think our wedding photos would have turned out as nice if we hadn’t had the engagement shoot. We framed some of ours to display at the wedding too.

        Aww, glad that Sasha was able to make an appearance. I didn’t even realize she was suppose to be in that first picture! ( but than again I was reading it on my phone, so it’s not hard to miss stuff on a smaller screen)! Too cute!

    Gorgeous photos, Courtney! I absolutely love them! We did our engagement shoot about two months before our wedding – after our invitations even went out – so we framed some of them and put them on the placecard table at our reception. We also used many of them in our guest book since our photographer made our guest book for us.
