Yesterday, Daniel & I went with our photographer to do our engagement photos! It was so much fun!! We met up at a local Starbucks & headed to the Dallas Arboretum at around 3:15 PM. We got to the Arboretum close to 4 (crazy traffic!) and got straight to shooting.
Margaret, our photographer, is absolutely amazing! She put both of us completely at ease and took us through the entire garden area, stopping to take pictures at different locations. We got all kinds of variety, including; little pioneer houses, a covered wagon, a water wall, a giant Eragon-style ship, a pond full of floating pumpkins, a gingerbread house, and of course lots of greenery! We stayed at the arboretum for about an hour and a half.
In the arboretum parking lot, I switched my simple white dress for a short denim skirt, zebra-print top, and totally cute zebra heels that my fashion-savvy mom bought me for Christmas last year (Margaret loved them!) and we went in search of some grunge. We ended up in Deep Ellum looking for graffiti-splashed walls. After illegally parking (hey, we couldn't find the box to put the money in!) we grabbed Daniel's guitar & took some really artsy pictures. It felt more like an album cover shoot than engagement pictures, but to me, that's what makes it so awesome! These will be totally unique! We found some really beautiful graffiti murals as a backdrop, as well as some really fantastic looking bars. To make it complete, there was a rock band practicing in a car repair shop garage nearby-- our very our soundtrack!
We only stayed in Deep Ellum for about 30 minutes, but I think the pictures are going to be phenomenal. The online proofs are supposed to be ready Tuesday-- I can't wait!!!
