Summer Style Engagement Shoot by Kimberly Macdonald Photography

From the photographer, Kimberly Macdonald Photography: I've been patiently (well thats a lie actually, Ive been very impatiently) waiting to share Valora & Kurtis’s styled engagement session because they’re just THAT darn cute! As a photographer, there’s this sense of overwhelming happiness when you know that the shots you are getting are amazing, and that feeling overwhelmed me for this entire shoot. Their images reflect who they are as a couple: sweet, playful, deeply in love, admiration for another, beautiful as individuals and as a couple, and fun.

Kurtis & Valora are getting married in the fall of this year and I just can not wait to capture their day! Both are extremely photogenic, such calm and happy demeanors, and honestly just a dream to photograph. Can you tell yet how much I adore them?

This lovely engagement shoot is so fun and romantic all at the same time. The beach lighting and sweet details make for a beautiful engagement session.

From the Photographer, Camarie Photography:  Miyoko and Jason have such a natural love for one another! I enjoyed every second of working with them and am excited to photograph their wedding in May as well. They were referred to me through Rose Wade events at Brookside Equestrian Center, where I will be getting married at as well this Fall!

Boho Beautiful Engagement Shoot by Amy Cloud Photography

This engagement shoot is so magical, so beautiful. Amy Cloud Photography did such an amazing job capturing these two. And her outfits? I'm loving both the boho look and the sequin backless dress. She looks incredible, am I right?

Sushi Proposal Story by Jaye Kogut Photography

This is such a sweet little proposal story. Jaye Kogut Photography captured it beautifully. These photos definitely portray the raw emotion that is a proposal story. Read on, it is pretty darn cute!

From the photographer, Jaye Kogut Photography: Mark had asked me to document his proposal to his girlfriend, Kelly. He was so excited about doing this that he planned it down to the music the restaurant would play while they dined! Mark took Kelly to their favorite restaurant -a tiny sushi place in the heart of Belmar, New Jersey. The tables were adorned with flowers and the staff knew what Mark had up his sleeve! The wait staff had garnished a separate plate with rose shaped sushi and hearts with the words "Will you marry me?" on it. Mark got down on one knee in front of the entire restaurant and asked Kelly to marry him. Caught by complete surprise and a few tears, she said 'Yes!' No proposal would be complete with out a champagne toast!

{Ilana + Jeff} Woodsie Engagement by Erich Mcvey

I've got a good one for you today! Ilana + Jeff took to the woodsie countryside for their beautiful engagement shoot. You might know Ilana as the founder of the bridesmaid dress shopping site Weddington Way. I've had the pleasure of meeting both of them on several occasions and my oh my are they one great couple. I'm quickly becoming obsessed with Erich McVey who shot this engagement session. So dreamy.

Houston Engagement Session by Michelle Boyd Photography

Here is a fun little engagement session for your end of week inspiration! Michelle Boyd Photography captured these two so well with tons of color and artistic shots. The story of these photos from the bride is wonderful. Check it out:

"Alvy and I knew that we wanted to do something different for our engagement photos. I love the fashion and style of that era and we wanted to incorporate a vintage automobile in the pictures, so we thought that the early 1960's would be a good fit for that. It was a very classy and elegant period of time and we wanted to incorporate that feel in our photos. Alvy has been in love with cars since about the age of 4, a passion he shares with his father. Over the years he has had several vintage cars, most recently his beloved 1971 Chevy Chevelle. Knowing that we wanted a 1960's car for our photos we attended a classic car show in the Houston area. There we met Lou and his lovely 1962 Plymouth Fury. He and Alvy began talking cars, and Lou generously offered to let us use his ride for our engagement photos.

We decided to take our photos in Houston since this is the city where we met, fell in love and plan to reside. I really enjoyed the chance to get all dolled up in 1960's fashion, especially getting to show off my grandmother's vintage handbag. Alvy loved the opportunity to hang out in a cool vintage ride and we both had a blast during our engagement session!"

Italian Engagement Shoot by Megan Ann Photography

This just looks like an incredibly awesome experience for Megan Ann Photography and of course this couple. In The Mood For Love, an Italian event planner picked out these perfect locations.  Who knew that Alberobello was the place to be?! These structures are the Trulli house village area. Simply gorgeous. 

Design-Inspired Engagement by Hunter Ryan Photo

This shoot features two extremes, both of with I love! Beach shots filled with tons and tons of beautiful driftwood, then insane interiors and beautiful fashion all the way through. Hunter Ryan Photo did a wonderful job on this shoot. 

From the Photographer: Sonika and Greg met as students at Ringling College in Sarasota, FL. Greg is an amateur photographer and graphic designer, and Sonika is now an interior designer. It was VERY fitting for them to have their engagement shoot first start at New College, then over to the amazingly beautiful Ringling Museum (Ca d'Zan Mansion). The architecture, details and design was so very "them." Finally we ended their shoot at one of their favorite locations - the stunning Longboat Key beach. It's almost magical there at sunset as the orange sun hits the weather-worn trees that just jut right out of the beach and water. From a design standpoint for Greg and Sonika it was THE perfect ending to the day.

Aviation Engagement by Brinton Studios

How sweet is this?  Brinton Studios did such a fabulous job on this planes, trains and automobiles shoot! I mean seriously, this is such a fun idea for an engagement shoot. 

Engagement by Brittanee Taylor Photography

The natural light & those dogs make this shoot even more perfect! Brittanee Taylor Photography did a wonderful job capturing these two. The location, San Dimas Canyon, is simply perfection. Wait for it, there is a special appearance from a beautiful blue car later on in this shoot.
