perfectly simple.

seeing as the cost of our photographer for a Thursday night ceremony (3hrs....ish - total) would only be $50 cheaper ($500) if we cut out the engagement photos, we are thinking it may be smartest just to go ahead and spend the $550 and get the whole package. I don't think anyone's ever complained of having TOO many great pictures together?!

so my thoughts on the pictures above are:

- i love the poses...relaxed and natural.

- i love being barefoot

- i love the simplicity of the outfits. This feels like something me and Jacob would feel most comfortable in. Instead of putting all that pressure on making sure our outfits completely jive without being stiff or too matchy matchy or make us look slim....and still being US!

- and I can do anything with a white top....accessorize...or....accessorize. So I CAN make it all me with just a few minor adjustments to a blank canvas.

and besides all that...we are not actors. We can not fake anything. So we're hoping that this doesn't turn out to be an awkward disaster....And I don't mean to say that we'll be faking whatever comes out on film but it's hard to see that camera going and not freeze up. Don't get me wrong...me and Jacob are adorable...we definitely have the fun, adorable, fun loving, happy thing going for us....but I think the right photographer can put us at ease and make magic happen. IF it's possible for us to be more magical than we already are;).
