Rainy Day Blues

All this rain is crazy!! Where is the sun? It definitely brings on the rainy day blues... but yet, these couples couldn't look happier. Your photographer calls and says your shoot is going to be rained out? I say, tell them it's on!

More Ephotos- Inspiration: COLOR

As I said yesterday. I just CAN NOT get enough of engagement photos. Every one is sooo unique and I really think they tell the story of the couple. Typically, I tend to gravitate towards B nW photos, Sepia tones and vintage hues-- but there is something to be said about an image that uses color to define it. Take a look at the below photos and you will immediately be drawn to the strong imagines simply on their use of a bold color!

Today's post is another special E-photo post, since I "know" (or will meet in June) the cute couple in these photos. They are my Fiance's Cousin Eric and his super-sweet fiance Janelle. Congrats-Can't wait to celebrate in June with you two!

Side note: These two aren't locals- so unfortunately you Rhode Islanders can't head to the nearest Mountain Range....but you will go crazy over the photo with the skis-- bet you didn't think of that as an idea? It might have you and your fiance heading up to NH stat.

Extra Extra! Check it out!

I promised a special post and here it is. Extra special engagement shoot inspiration today. Check out these awesome photos from Brittany Leigh Photography!

Not only are these shots in Providence (how pretty!) but they also feature a pretty awesome couple! My friends Kate and Eric did their engagement shoot in downtown providence, near Waterplace park and at the State house... There is  a great mix of BnW photos, color, and "touch" of color.

The icing on the cake is that Kate is not only one of my very best friends, but also one of my bridesmaids :)

whoo hoo!

Slacker

So I know I have been totally slacking lately. Sorry.
It's not that I have nothing new or creative to say. I am just so stuck on a few certain elements of my own wedding that it's all I have been focusing on lately.

Firstly, we have been talking engagement shoots up the ... and I have a special treat planned for next Monday/Tues--so just wait and see what it is :). I promise its a goodie you'll love.

Anyway- I have been talking about the shoots so much lately, and there are so many photos to go through. I found this completely hysterical shoot along the way. And just wanted to share:

this made me laugh out loud

Engagement Photo Session

Last year we kinda sorta decided we would likely want our engagement photos to be done in the fall.. since we are getting married in the summer it would be a different look-- and we have an awesome back drop right in our own back yard. Tons of "fields" for those "field" shots popping up on all photographers blogs....a quaint little rustic looking white shed, a bridge for us to take those "holding hands on the bridge shots"... but I was quick to tell any photographer I met "NO CHEESY SHOTS!" ..... to which every photog replied, "just like every other bride tells us"...

So since we are all in agreement... no cheese ball shots (IE staring into each others eyes while waves crash and birds chirp!) and we all want something a "little different" I thought I'd post the pictures that inspired me for the look I want... (and a few others that I just plain LOVE!)

I'll call this first group the "plain clothes" group. I love these shots and want to incorporate some in my own shoot... all credits to these photographers per their photos:



This would be perfect for our back by the River where we live!




See you can include your dog and not be too cheese central...how cute!




I like the light on these pictures, and have seen some great wedding day ones with the same lighting...


Now onto my favorites!!! These are my absolute favs and if I could convince my fiance to do this I would. I Love love love love heart them xo. Enjoy:


Super vintage!!




My all time, favorite engagement shot ever.

  So I included these next ones because it is something I would never do.. but came out amazing. They are the Notebook inspired.. maybe its because the girl looks a lot like Rachel McAdams-- but these came out great!



How great is this?

Just one more i had to add that i found tonight and l-o-v-e:
