Getting engaged to Ryan was one of the happiest days of my life. Every girl dreams of this moment but when it actually happens, time stands still. We chose to have a longer engagement and it’s hard to believe that a year has already gone by! I knew I didn’t want to rush this time, I wanted to savor it. It’s a time of happiness and joy, a time for us to plan our future together, a time of exciting anticipation. And let’s be honest, more time to plan the wedding doesn’t hurt either! You can read more about our wedding details here.
I’m so excited to finally share some of my favorite engagement photos from CaptureMeCandid Photography. After we secured a venue, Lori was the first vendor we booked. Not only does she take amazing photos, but she’s also a blast to work with. Thanks to blogging, Ryan & I have had some experience with the camera, but taking these kind of photos can still seem awkward and unnatural at times. Lori just made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing and I’m SO in love with all the photos that she captured for our e-sesh.
Ryan & I wanted to split up our session into two locations so today I’m sharing some of the city shots. We started out our shoot at Dandelion Market, the place where we met and had our first date. The rest of the photos were shot in a long corridor by the convention center- I just love the clean lines and neutral background. Enjoy!
In case you couldn’t tell, narrowing down my favorite photos was a next to impossible task. Oops! Be sure to check back tomorrow for part two our our engagement session that has some seriously romantic vibes. Have a great day!
Your engagement pictures turned out so well! Gorgeous!
They are stunning girl! I can't wait for part 2!!! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
