On Friday before we left Sacramento, Paul and I met with our photographers to shoot an engagement photo session. I have never really thought about taking engagement photos. BUT back in January, it seemed like tons of amazing engagement sessions started hitting the web. Artsy, romantic, funny, candid, stunning photos. Not the lame chin resting on a tree branch stuff. Also not the old "hold the camera at arms length and do your best to not look blurry/drunk/stink-eyed". I figured it was something that would be fun. Not a must do, but fun.
When I google searched and found our photographer, one of the items included in her packages was an engagement shoot. For sure we were going to do it now. Back in May, I scheduled July 31 for us to meet up at our favorite restaurant in Sacramento. We figured we would just play it by ear from there.
Paul and I met up with Lisa and Geoff (they’re photographer partners & engaged to be married on August 22!) and had a few cocktails before getting started with the session. I personally thank the cocktails for a little less awkward and a little more willing subjects.
I really had no idea what to expect. That’s a lie. I expected extreme awkwardness. But instead, I got a laid back experience and an overwhelming sense of love for Paul. After spending three hours close to him, talking softly to him, kissing him, hugging him and holding his hand I realized, WOW. I AM CRAZY ABOUT THIS MAN. Don’t get me wrong, I already knew that, but your deepest emotion gets a bit hidden in the non-romantic activities of the day to day. Your passion hides out just a little bit. It was so fun to bring that back. And Lisa and Geoff were just perfect at capturing us being us. I was blown away and cannot wait to see the photos.
Thanks Lisa & Geoff. And thank you, Paul for walking into this with me and standing by my side.
