engagement photos

A couple weeks ago Chase and I trekked back to Oklahoma City for a date with our photographer to snap some engagement photos.

I developed a thorough plan with locations, style of photography, props, outfits etc. It was the account planner in me coming through.

In preparation for the photos I got a manicure, a pedicure, some eyebrow waxing and then I had my hair and makeup done by my good friend Kande from eyekande.blogspot.com

We had a lot of fun running around our favorite spots in OKC and gazing into each others eyes for photos. haha In all honesty it was a little awkward at first but we warmed up to the camera pretty quick. Plus our photographer, Simon Hurst, helped calm me down with his charming english accent.

We just got the pictures in the mail yesterday and they still need to be touched up but I had to pull out a few of our favorites to share. Enjoy.

weekend plans

On the road again...

That's right, heading back North again for OKC. But this time its for a really fun reason. Our engagement photos!!

We have some really great ideas and locations planned and our goal is to have a great time that will turn into great photos that will capture this memorable time in our lives.

Sunday morning bright and early, 6am, I am up and at em prepping for the shoot that starts at 9am. And I talked one of my friends into doing my makeup and hair. She is great at that and I am not. (check out her blog full of beauty tips, www.eyekande.blogspot.com)

I will post some of our fave photos when we get them so stay tuned. For now I will leave you with one of my favorite engagement photos that served as inspiration.
