our incredible wedding photographer costs a pretty penny, so when it came time to think about engagement photos we definitely had our work cut out for us. i have taken more selfies of me and steve than i care to admit, so instead of standing awkwardly in front of a stranger with talent, we opted to stand awkwardly in front of a tripod to take our official photos of betrothal.
true story: DIY actually isn't too bad a way to go if you know how to use a good camera and lens. sure, it's kind of weird jogging between tripod and steve planted in the "don't move or else you'll be blurry" position, while strangers decide to stop and watch with interest from a standpoint that happens to be, you know, in the background of the photo... but it's also free, which is neat.
also true story: DIY engagement photos are a solid way to be really self-conscious about how weird you look taking fancy selfies in public. still, i figured i'd share the rest of our hilarious, semi-embarrassing photo-shoot.

| steve was making fun of me because i kept getting pissy with him for looking stiff. |

so when i told him "be whimsical" he opted for the julie andrews sound of music pose. |

yup, pretty much.
