Engagement Shoot

It took a while for us to settle a date to shoot our engagement pictures after we booked Ryan, but after we settled one i couldn't be happier with our location...Chris and I decided we wanted to do it somewhere that means something to us and somewhere that was easily accessible, so brooklyn botanic garden it is! every spring chris and i would make a visit here to see the cherry trees, and beautiful they certainly are as you glimpsed in my last entry...so this time, let me give you a little bit more! enjoy!

yea we were a little nervous
Chris: "jenny this feels awkward"
Jenny: "yea i know just think of something funny! and laugh!"

we weren't actually allowed to get on the grass to take this pic, but Ryan thought it would make a fantastic shot...soooooo we broke some rules, but thats ok, i really like this one...i call it the "Twilight" shot
a really nice portrait of us, this was in front of the japanese shrine

look familiar? it's the photo we chose to use for our save the dates (which i got an email that they were shipped today!!!!)
the story behind this one: well, you see...there was an old lady that was standing in the prime picture taking location so obviously we weren't thrilled about that, and then we had the brilliant idea of "lets go over there make out and make her uncomfortable and maybe she'll move!" uhhh we have never been more wrong, even after making out A LOT, the woman kept standing there, chris even whispered in my ear "jenny, i think she died!" alright that was mean, but this photo is the direct result of me realizing that our attempts were futile, she was still there...
we've been getting comments that Ryan did a fantastic job of capturing our love for one another...i'll let YOU be the judge of that :)
i don't know about capturing the in love-ness that we have for one another, but i DO know that he is an amazing photographer and we couldn't be happier to be working with him on our wedding.
