Beautiful Engagement

{photo via Once Wed by Decor Amor}

I love to watch Rich play his guitar {so does our dog}.  I saw the above image & was completely inspired for our engagement photos.  The composition & colors are just lovely.  I really like the idea of incoporating a prop {seems like balloons are popping up in a lot of photos lately} & this ukulele is so perfect. 

We have been waiting impatiently for the snow to thaw & melt away so we can take our engagment photos!  Of course, we have done little to no research on a photographer yet.  We have a few friends who dabble in photography & I think it would be fun & very natural to have one of them snapping photos of us.  We have another set of friends getting married in May & their photographer did an amazing job with their engagement photos.   

As long as we figure out who is going to take the photos by the time the dogwoods bloom in May & one of these guys are around to casually walk through the background of the photo I will be happy. 

edit: Rich would like to point out that a guitar is not a prop if you know how to play it, therefore, if we have a guitar in the photos it is not a prop, because he knows how to play {extremely well I might add}.  So I guess it is...an...accessory?  A balloon is definitely a prop.
