Shane and I just got back from the photo shoot for the engagement photos. Its been so long since I’ve had my picture taken by a professional that I felt like I forgot a lot of stuff. But we had a lot of fun, and I’m sure the pictures will be beautiful. I just looked at Rogue Art’s blog again and realized I wish I had looked at it just before going. There are a few small details about the shots I liked that I didn’t even notice, or at least make note of. The whole time I felt like I should do something to vary the poses, instead of just varying the backdrops, but I didn’t know what to do.
Oh well. They’ll be beautiful all the same, regardless of anything we did or didn’t do. There’s one in particular I’m very excited to see, but its hard to explain. We’re standing in a lawn in front of a beautiful building. We’ll see how it turns out.
There was a wedding going on while we were there shooting. It was an Indian (or some sort of Middle-Eastern) wedding, where the man rode in on a white horse with a beautiful saddle cover thingy on it, and the bride wore a green dress. From what I could see, the altar was a big, bright pink tent-type thing. Gave me a lot of ideas for our wedding.
Lol. Who says I need to wear white, anyway? I could just pick up a beautiful blue evening gown for a fraction of the price of a “wedding” gown of the same style. Just because its for a “wedding” makes it tons more expensive. Actually, I might just wear the blue dress I’ve been eying for my sister instead, and she and the bridesmaids can all wear green. Lol.
I doubt I’ll do that. But its an idea.
We should have the pictures back by Thursday at the latest. They might post a blog with them sooner, so I’ll probably just copy some of them for the web from there. Shane is trying to nap before his fishing tournament tonight. I’m thinking of heading over to Archiver’s (a newly discovered heaven of the scrapbooking/paper craft sorts for me) and check out some of their pocket envelopes for invites. Since I’ve discovered my printer can print on paper that is supposedly impossible to print on (thank you again, baby, for the best birthday present ever!), I’m just trying to decide how to use it. I have a ton of it that I would never have used had my printer not worked with it. (Too expensive to get printers to use.)
Anyway, expect some pictures sometime soon.
