It's been raining. A lot. I had envisioned having our photos taken outside, at the Burrow. Bridgette, our talented photographer friend is setting out for Ghana on the 12, so they had to be done within two weeks of our engagement! So with a tight timeline to get our engagement photo shoot done this week, I was disappointed to see so much rain on the forecast.
Today though, the rain stopped. Albeit cloudy, Henry and I drove down to Basin Street to meet Gabriel and Bridgette. After a quick nursing session we walked outside and got to work. Because we were able to shoot in our venue location, I got a feeling of what shots I will also want come the Big Day. Bridgette has a great eye for portraiture and used the barn, trees, flowers and swings to our advantage. I kept sneaking previews on the back of her Nikon Digital SLR and was getting so excited to see some of the results.
She also posted a teaser sample of some of our shots to Flickr to tide me over until I get the disk!
We were also fortunate to get a few in of the three of us and Henry alone, as he is 6 MONTHS OLD TODAY! Although Gabriel protested getting gussied up to go outside I think he is pleased with how they turned out as well.
I hope you enjoy and look out for your 'Save the Dates' coming to a mailbox near you!
Love,
Shannon
They really did come out so well. I hope ours turn out OK. :-? I always feel weird at photo shoots.
