Wedding: Engagement Photos

Warning: This post is going to be a picture OVERLOAD. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how the wedding planning is going. Y’all are very curious about my wedding… and I love it! Here are a couple of pictures from our engagement shoot we did about a month ago with my dear friend Molly. I can finally post these because the invites for the engagement party have been sent out!

Molly grew up going to a family camp and after showing her some Moonrise Kingdom inspired shoots that I was going for, she knew it’d be the perfect place. Perfect is an understatement. This place was breathtaking.

We did our engagement shoot up north because it was too complicated to go home to LA to do it. My DF and I have pretty opposite schedules. Also, Molly is one of my very talented co-workers so it worked out perfectly that we knew someone up in the bay area who could do the shoot for us.

I’d say that the DF and I are pretty awkward on camera, but Molly made us feel as comfortable as can be. We’re not big on PDA, which makes shooting engagement photos that much harder. Sorry, Molly!

I got these awesome vintage suitcases off of Craigslist. They were listed that day and I picked them up within an hour after the posting. You just gotta jump on a good deal when you see it. Did I mention I spent five bucks for all three suitcases since the Craigslist girl was moving out of the country in two days and needed to get rid of her stuff ASAP? What. A. Steal.

Hope you enjoyed the photos! I’ll keep the wedding updates coming. 🙂
