Sneaky Peekies

These are from our "Engagement Photo Sesh" with our good friend 

Brett Banning

[future famous graphic designer slash photographer slash editor]

I realized two things during this day:

1) I don't like taking pictures [clearly]

2) I don't like being PDA-ey.....

These are both two VERY important and necessary traits to have while taking engagement photos

and for that I apologize for the following........ how 'bout just look at Doug - he looks smashing :)

Here's a couple:

[no, I am not 3 ft short and no, Doug is not 7 ft tall - though this does make Lord of the Rings' trick photography make a lot more sense to me....]

Ha! This picture's called: "We're Serious!"

and was followed by me cracking up or making a face....

Soooo, Doug is way better at all this than I am

Brett is REALLY good at making pictures look cool - they looked super lame before he got 

his hands on them. He made a little magic with a typical digital camera, genius.

I need to learn how to take a schmoopy photo. I need some more, what's it called, Maturity!

WELL DONE YOU BRETT!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Look What I Found!

OLD-ish PICTURES! YAY!!!

These are from Doug and I's two year this year - or at least the celebration of it

[cause as some of you know I was in Boston on that particular day

so I took myself out to the North End for some smashing Italian food -

three courses.... I had a Groupon :P]

When I came back to Stl we set aside a night to celebrate US :)

So we got snazzy, Cheesecake Factoried it up and Doug got me this present

He gave it to me under the strict stipulation that I pick any cupcake I wanted
and we'd go out, get the ingredients and bake them that night!

Husband-In-Training did GOOD - I love him :)

Also how good did we do?!?! 

Compare:

Aaaaand:

[apparently this picture wanted to be in High-Def]

It was a wicked fun night - playing music - baking with my betrothed ;P ha

At the end we were left with a pound of oreo crumbs that we did NOT 

know what to do with - so GeniusDoug made shakes

Yum...

Yum....

YUMMM!!!!

We ended the night watching Sophia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette"

for wedding research - he's gottu know the feel I'm going for - you know?

If you couldn't tell ---> this was one of the funnest nights of my summer........

That is sooo like Doug - being all awesome and thoughtful, sheesh

I love finding old images!

[sorry for the quality of the photos - the camera's from Australia.... 'nuff said ;)]

[oooo i'm so getting beat up for that!]
