A Swanky Engagement

A lot of our friends are getting married this year. I'm excited, but it's stressful planning a wedding when a lot of your friends are planning one too. It's not so much catty, but I think everyone wants to know what everyone else is doing, by nature.

I've been looking in to engagement sessions around the wedding and photography blogs in the interwebs, and I think I realized something. Those outdoor engagement sessions are beautiful and all, but I don't think that's something I would want. Being that we're probably going to take our engagement pictures sometime in the summer, or when it's hot out, I don't want to be outside sweating. Here in Houston, its hot up until September, even October.. And even if the weather wasn't an issue, we're not very outdoorsy people. I hate being hot, and well I guess J is a little more outdoorsy than I am, but not so much.

When I was perusing the Sloan Photographers blog, I saw these lovely engagement pictures that I absolutely loved! The couple took their pictures at a Penthouse in Arizone. So dramatic, yet simple. I love! This is something I could definitely do, pictures at a swanky hotel, yes please! Now I have to find said swanky hotel and our photographer!

On another note, J and I have been engaged one whole year... wow...
