Guests can be Animals

Your wedding day is an event that you want to be sure to share with all of your nearest and dearest, so why not include the original "man's best friend" and let some of your furrier friends attend?!


True, a plethora of pets may be a little much to handle, but these adorable photos show that sometimes, pooches are precious.

Clearly we're a little partial to dogs (shoutout to my own pooch, Bellini!), but you have to admit...it's a dog-gone cute idea. If you're not crazy about having your pet at your actual ceremony or reception, including them in your engagement photos is always an awesometastic alternative!


Would you consider letting Fido in on the festivities?! If you did, would you send me some pictures, pretty please!

He Has My Heart Engagement Photo

So if you can get your man to agree to engagement photos, and knowing most guys it may take a little  batting of the eyes and favorite dinner making, they will be so glad they agreed! I love seeing the engagement photos couples take, especially when there's that element of creativity involved!



I absolutely fell in love when I saw this photo on 100 Layer Cake.

Does this photo not grab your heart or what?? How great would a photo like this be for a save the date announcement?

Fairy Tale Engagement Shoots

All brides want a fairy tale perfect wedding. Some even recreate their favorite fairy tale or fable in a fun engagement shoot!

We found some fantastical and super creative ways that couples have used fiction for some fun photos:

I can see where these shoots could get a little over the top, but I think the photos above portrayed the stories in a tasteful and fabulous way!

Awesometastic Marriage Proposal: Kaity and Bobby

Kaity and Bobby were some of our awesometastic'est clients, and they have a seriously cute proposal story to share to go along with our theme of awesometastic marriage proposals.



Aren't they the cutest!

The story as told by Kaity:



Bobby and I were going up to Gainesville for the Orange and Blue debut last weekend. The morning of the game is the annual Gator Yard Sale - aka where they sell off game-used jerseys (Bobby's other love in his life). For weeks, Bobby told me how stressed he was about the sale and how he was nervous about not getting good jerseys, etc. I told him to be calm and thankful for anything he got!



So, Friday night on the drive up he tells me that we have to go to campus. Kendall (our friend and future bridesmaid!) had texted him that the sale tent had moved and we needed to scope it out. We were planning to be in line at 6am (for the 9am sale). I told him he was crazy and to not worry about it. He persisted and decided we had to go to campus to check.



There we are at 9 o'clock at night cruising campus at 20 mph. He pulls into the parking lot behind Gator Dining. "Why don't you park at the O'Dome. It's closer." "No. It's closed." "It's not closed! Go check." "Yeah, it is." "No, it's not."



Eventually I caved and we parked at Gator D and started walking up to the corner of North-South (Gale Lemerand for you babies) and Stadium Road. Before I know it, he's stopping me at the corner - in front of the Bull Gator...and saying some lovely things I will keep to myself and asking me to marry him. After "Are you serious?!!?" I said "Yes" and that leads me to the most beautiful ring I have ever seen...

Engaged! Ashley & Jordan

Your wedding is gonna start with an engagment, a YES and ring... it could be a candy ring, a toliet paper ring, some kind of ring... and a YES (did I mention that?)

So why not celebrate it with yummy, fun pictures! It's a great way to get used to your photographer and being in front of the camera. Since most of us aren't in front of the camera, every day.

Sooooooooo, this week, we celebrate, the engagement. With our sexy clients, of course.
