Engagement

One of my good friends Morgan asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding to her fiance Devin. As a professional wedding photographer, I'm mostly relieved this will be a wedding I will get to simply be in and enjoy instead of work at! However, as a wedding gift, I am giving them engagement photos. We decided to do three sets: summer, fall, and spring (just in time for a June 2012 wedding). 

Here are a few shots I love from the summer set.

Summer Into Fall

As school is about to start back for me, I've been doing some shopping, specifically for dresses that will be appropriate for the transfer from summer into fall. Take flirty silhouettes,   maybe embellish with a hint of lace, take away floral patterns, and mute the colors (but don't be afraid of the occasional pop of color). 

Happy shopping, everyone!
