Engagement Week: Pictures

I'm so excited to share this post I can barely stand it! When AB and I became engaged, we were really lucky to be at a beautiful place and two days away from "Family Picture Day" aka "Everyone pretend your happy to be matching and Ryan girls put on your big girl pants and stop whining because we're taking these pictures and you will be happy" Day. Regardless, I jumped at the opportunity to take some fun pictures with AB on the beach. My sister has an awesome camera, and we are really lucky to have these without the price tag :) Here they are:









What do you think? AB and I didn't want something too professional, just simple and easy because that's us. However, when I got home I wasn't satisfied. Do NOT get me wrong, I love the beach pictures but I wanted something that more "us." AB asked me to be his girlfriend 9 years ago on his back porch so I wanted to take some pictures around there. A good friend in photography school graciously offered to take some for us. These are my favorites:

























Lastly, I leave you with not an engagement photo, but a picture that makes my heart melt. In the midst of a family group picture that clearly screamed chaos, AB and I took a moment to enjoy our beautiful niece and precious nephews.

I think I found a keeper.

I love the one of you two lying on the ground. So adorable!! I wish we had some more creative photos like that, and we had a professional protographer - I think we paid her way too much, wasn't very happy with most of our pics, but I guess that is besides the point . . . yours are adorable.

Personally, I love the contrast between the two shoots! I think they're both great in their own way!

Aww! Love them all. Especially the pics with your dog in them! I love when couples incorporate their dog in their pictures! So cute.
