WEDDING WEDNESDAY: PREPARING FOR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS!

You guys! I seriously don’t know where the past seven months have gone because this weekend we’re taking our engagement photos on Nantucket! I’m so excited and definitely a little nervous about looking our best in such important pictures. This is the first time we’re working with our wedding photographer Cameron Clark of Cameron & Kelly Studio and I can’t wait to see what magic we cook up together. I’ll definitely be doing another Wedding Wednesday post on how we chose her as our wedding photographer (besides the fact that she’s just crazy talented of course!).

Our plan is to do some of our engagement pictures on a sailboat — sailboat rides have become one of our favorite things to do on Nantucket and I think it will set the scene for our nautical nuptials just perfectly! But of course there’s a lot about sailing that’s out of our control (light, wind, weather in general), so Cameron suggested that we also have a few locations picked out for shooting on land. She and I are sharing a private Pinterest board so she can get a better feel for my style as well as see a few of the locations I have in mind! I’m a little nervous but mostly just really excited to have photos for our save-the-dates, website, etc.! Here’s a little of the inspiration I’ve shared with her…

Since we’ll be shooting on two days in at least two different locations, I plan to wear two different outfits to see which look photographs best. I’m still working out the second look but I know this dress is the first! Love love love.

nDefinitely follow along on Snapchat this weekend (I’m @designdarling) and stay tuned to see the pictures on the blog in a few weeks. Do share if you have any words of wisdom, wardrobe advice, etc. and wish us luck!!!
