    Yay! The first of our engagement photos are in! A few things I learned about myself while looking through what our photographer sent us:

    1. I apparently look really mean in my natural non smiling state
    2. Unfortunately, I'm also really bad at smiling on command
    3. I do however laugh really easily, so there are a lot of laughing photos--I have a lot of teeth!
    4. A fork does not equal a hairbrush. I couldn't find my hairbrush the day of the shoot and we were running late so I ended up just trying to comb my hair with a plastic fork I found in the car. Next time I will just spend the money to run into a CVS and buy a brush and be apologetic. I know, I was illogical

    Still, despite all that, I thought it was totally worth it! At least now I know the above and think I'll be a lot more comfortable on the day of the actual wedding. Thanks bees for all the help given when I had engagement shoot questions!

    We went with the maps/globes since our jobs mean that we'll be overseas and country bouncing for the rest of our lives--all the maps are places of where we've actually been together!

    I think I sized it down too much to see--but the book's title is "A Vagabond's Journey Around the World." Perfect for us!

    The first thing FI said on seeing this last photo is "I want everyone who might see this to know that I do not have Elvis hair."

    I think that is the best part of engagement pictures.  Getting to see how you really look in pictures so that you don't make the same mistakes on your wedding pictures!

    Make sure to size down the pictures!

    Congrats & cute pics :) Love the map one where you can see your sillouettes through the paper :)

    BTW - I look mad/mean when I'm not smiling too. I could never pull of the "sexy" not smiling photo :(

    Very unique take on your engagement pics.  You guys look amazing.

    LOL, fork does not equal a comb, duly noted!  But seriously, I wholeheartedly agree with you in saying engagement shoots are great to help you figure out what works and what doesn't.
