Pictures

We are taking engagement photos on Friday. Don't you worry, Sheri helped me practice some poses. For instance the hand draped casually over Kenny's shoulder, showing off the ring. Then, of course, we worked on the arms wrapped around his neck, full on hug mode, while Kenny half smiles, half looks scared. I promised to give Sheri a wallet size of that pose, so she could gaze at us every time she opens her purse.

In reality, Kenny and I debated whether or not we even were going to do engagement photos. They all come out cheesy. Even when you try not to be cheesy. Even when you think you are all edgy and cool. It's not. It's cheesy. But we don't have any pictures of us that don't include a margarita or us in bathing suits on a beach or us at other people's weddings. Although, at least at other people's weddings we have on something other than a bathing suit. We finally conceded that engagement photos should be done, so we would have some decent pictures together other than our actual wedding day.

Being the total procrastinator that I am, left it until this week to decide what I would wear. Kenny and I aren't super fancy, so I know I am wearing jeans. I figured I would wear some cute heels of some sort. The real problem is the shirt. Do I go with white, the easy go-to color? Or do I pick an actual color? Did any of you take engagement photos? What did you wear?

  1. I changed shirts half way...I wore a aqua shirt (with a white cami under) and jeans and then switched to white. Brian had on a white polo and jeans the whole time. The one we ended up picking was with the aqua shirt on. :)

  2. We didn't do engagement pics...my husband hates having his picture taken so I figured I was lucky enough just to get wedding pics. =) Don't wear white...you seem too spunky for white! Just my opinion of course!

  3. I told you-- just a tie draped artfully over your breasts. :D That why double sided tape is made.

  4. You could both wear white? I'm sure whatever you wear would be fine, but Sheri's suggestion sounds hot ;P

  5. Sheri, that is what I am wearing to rehersal dinner. You know I barely will repeat outfits for day-to-day occassions, let alone my engagement photos and rehersal dinner.
