Baby it's cold outside

Ok so it's not actually cold outside right now, in fact it's the exact opposite were I sit. But, the cold is coming! And so are a few more engagement rings. Fall seems to be one of the best times to get engagement pictures taken. You're not dropping from the heat, you have beautiful colors all around you, and you can pick pretty much any outfit. However, sometimes fall doesn't always work times wise.

But don't be discouraged if the best time for you and your special guy to have an engagement shoot is after the snow falls! This couple shows how beautiful a little snow can be.

He put a ring on it

From the moment you got engaged it’s been about the ring. You probably dreamt about it, imagined what it would be like to have that sparkling diamond on your finger, and just about hyperventilated when you finally received it.

 

After you have chosen a photographer, make sure they know you want a few fun shots of that ring (oh yeah, his can be in there too). I’m not talking about the classic hands in the flower shots – not that those are bad, just a little old school. You want to be able to see the details in that ring, no matter how big or small, this is your ring!

Most photographers will already know that this is a key shot they need to take, but just in case, make sure you let them know it’s important to you. Maybe it won’t be the picture you get printed on a 30x40 canvas but who knows, if it’s cool enough, maybe you will! 

All in the details

Brides are always wondering what they can do to make their wedding stand out. Summer is the definite wedding season. If you’re life is anything like mine, sometimes it seems like there’s a wedding every other weekend.

If you’re one of those weddings, you want to make sure your guests remember more than just a blur of wedding excitement. Make your wedding the wedding that they think of after the blur has passed.

The question is how. There are so many aspects of a wedding that stay the same couple to couple. There are almost always flowers, dresses, bridesmaids, groomsmen, candles-you get the picture. So it makes sense that the other details are what are going to make the biggest difference between your wedding and everyone else’s that year.

This is your chance to show your personality. Set of sparklers, have a photo booth, choreograph a song for your wedding party during the reception. There are so many ways to make your wedding your own the list would take all day.

Check out this bride who added lots of unique touches. From her beautiful broach bouquet to their fun wedding favors, they showed their style and no one will forget their wedding.

           One of the most important things to remember is to hire an amazing photographer for your big day. Your picture are the only thing you have left when the wedding is all said and done so make sure to find someone who will immortalize all those memories for you.

            The majority of the pictures on my site are from local photographer Megan Blunk. Megan has an amazing ability to capture every special moment, every little detail, and every important memory. She works with the bride and her vision, listening to what she feels is important and making sure to capture everything the bride wants.

            I have personally been a part of the wedding party in one of Megan’s shoots and have also observed her as a wedding coordinator. She works hard to achieve a relationship with the bride and family while still maintaining a professional yet fun atmosphere. A lot of wedding photographers view a wedding shoot as simply another job, Megan lives and breathes photography. From researching ideas and techniques to capturing memories for simple enjoyment, Megan works hard to stay up to date with all the current trends.  

            “I have a passion for art, design, and photography. I love capturing expressions and emotions because those moments compare to nothing else. The best part is not only interaction with fantastic people and having fun but making new amazing friendships. If you would like to experience that then email me. I look forward to meeting you!!” –Megan
