#WeddingWednesday: Engagement Pictures

Last week I told you how much I couldn't wait to see our engagement pictures...and not even 24 hours later, they were in my inbox!! Lindsey is like a fairy, for real.

If we're Facebook friends, there's a 99% chance you've already looked at all of them. Before you go any further, go watch this video that she put together of our engagement session - we were having so much fun!

Did you watch it?

Okay good.

Now I'll share a few of my favorite pictures :)

I think this is the one she asked him what his favorite thing is that I make. You guys, I make some really awesome Rice Krispy Treats. His answer? When I pick up pizza. Clearly I've got some work to do in the culinary department.

Don't worry - I got him back right about here when she asked me what my favorite thing is that he makes... Chic-fil-a for the win!

Isn't Lindsey just the greatest!? I told her I wanted to sing a song about how awesome she is. I am SO excited she's going to be photographing our wedding in May! I just know she's going to capture all the most amazing parts. Hop over to her blog to see more pictures of our engagement session (along with more of her work, of course)!!

Happy #WeddingWednesday! This update is such a fun week to share :)

On Sunday, we took our engagement pictures!! I loved meeting our wonderful photographer and her husband! Lindsey is absolutely the sweetest and I cannot wait to see all the engagement pictures (and wedding, too, of course!)! She posted a few sneak peek pictures on Facebook - go check them out and like her page (I'm only sharing one here because I REALLY want you to go look and like her page!!).

follow her on Instagram, too!

Other awesome news from the week... We closed on our house yesterday!! We are so excited - you can look forward to many posts about this in the future! 

In front of our house! 

In our living room - I had to "decorate" something!

Dad & Matt figuring out the fire place

We had to paint over those two hideous crimson letters!!

Our realtor and the previous owner both left sweet gifts for us! 

Our parents and siblings met us at the house after we closed, and we both enjoyed getting to show it off to them. I told you this was an fun week!

Since I promised Tiffany I would do a little blogging about the wedding plans, I figured this is a good way to start! We have 80 days to go (whoa!) and are definitely in planning mode.

We're taking engagement pictures on Sunday! I am so excited to meet our photographer and see what fun we have taking the pictures. We've picked out outfits - well, Matt has, at least. I have a dress to wear but I need something casual, too (suggestions??). When we first talked to Lindsey, she said to start a Pinterest board with some of our favorite examples so she can get a feel for what we like - so I'm sharing a couple of our favorite ideas today!

Since we are planning to take the pictures in Stillwater, of course I searched for a few on library lawn! I love this shot so much.

Matt's favorite that we've found is this one:

I bought cute chalkboards so we can recreate that one - we found one with chalkboards but it seems to have disappeared from Pinterest!

What are your favorite engagement pictures ideas? I can't wait to share our pictures! :)
