You all know that I am a LOVER of fun engagement sessions, and I’m always looking for something great! When Ben Sasso sent me this session, I was amazed by his awesome photography, as well as the fun twist he added to it [you'll find out about that at the end of the post ].
 

 
How super fun?! And well, sure, photos are awesome (and these definitely are), but being behind the scenes of a shoot is fun too! Ben also had an opportunity to video …

Sorry there was no Week At A Glance post this weekend for you all! I’ve hardly been home at all in the past few days. But nonetheless, I still wanted to be sure to keep up with my regular posting!
 
It’s engagement photo season, and photographers are definitely taking advantage of all of the beautiful weather this time of year!  Carrie of Studio Blu Images sent over this engagement session that she recently did at the University of Alabama.
 

 
What a beautiful campus! Universities are a …

I think you all are going to love this! This is a pretty awesome twist on an engagement shoot even if you’re not a Twilight fanatic. When Jeff of K&K Photography mentioned doing a Twilight-inspired shoot for his clients Lindsay and Ferdinand, I knew it was going to be awesome- and I’m not even a Twilight fan!
 
Jeff was studying the lighting and editing methods of the photographer who shot all of the posters and many of the promo materials for the Twilight movie saga. When Jeff met with Lindsay …

I absolutely love this engagement session by Amanda Rae Photography. I stumbled across Amanda’s website a few days ago, and I was instantly drawn to the personality of her website and how she portrays herself and her style. You MUST go see her website! She has the CUTEST intro video! Amanda uses the light in her photographs in such an amazing way. It’s just pure gorgeousness! (On top of her awesome photography, I was officially in love when I read that she’s also married to her high school sweetheart!)

This engagement shoot from Leigh Taylor may be THE coolest engagement session I’ve seen. Leigh actually styled this whole shoot, which is such a fun idea! Themed engagement shoots are the absolute best, and they’re becoming so popular!
 

 
I know I would have definitely wanted a styled shoot like this…my engagement photos were pretty blah. Ask your photographer if they would like to do a styled shoot for you, or even if they’ll just help you along with a theme of some sort. That is, if you …

I just adore actual engagement shoots where the photographers capture the actual moment of proposal! This particular shoot by The Schultz’s was extensively planned by the new groom, and it’s pretty genius if you ask me. As told by Cheyenne Schultz:
 
“Amy and Andrew are from Raleigh, so the first thing was getting them to Charlotte. Andrew worked it out to be in for a weekend to visit friends, which would be followed by an opportunity for Andrew to come shadow me photographing an engagement session on Monday morning (at …

I LOVE the prints and bright colors the bride is wearing in this engagement shoot by Liga Photography! It looks like the couple is having so much fun, and that’s exactly how an engagement shoot should be! They must have been so comforatable with Abby!
 

I wish I had worn stylish clothes like this for my engagement shoot! I was told that I needed to stay away …

Caroline of CSE Photography recently sent these engagement photos over and I was pretty much mesmerized.  Yeah, I know, weird, but they remind me of a fairy tale!  It could be the colors of the sunset or the bride’s stunning blue eyes…whatever it is, I definitely had to share these!
 

 
These photos are magical, am I right?  It definitely helps being on the West coast …

Since there was so much engagement talk last week, I had a few more amazing engagement photos that I wanted to share!
Astrid of Astrid and Rene Photography, a husband and wife photography team in Naples, FL, sent me these gorgeous photo boards of Sarah and Mike’s engagement shoot. Astrid wrote, “Sarah and Mike really put the ‘F” in fall and fun! Their wedding is this Saturday here in Naples, on the beach and then at Grey Oaks.” These photos were shot in Sarah’s neighborhood! It’s beautiful, I would have …

Normally, engagement photos are taken a few months after getting engaged. However, innovative proposing boyfriends, with the help of photographers, are putting a whole new meaning to engagement photos!
These engagement photos that I speak of are known as Surprise Proposal photos! Thoughtful boyfriends have a photographer conspicuously capture photos of them proposing! I know guys are always trying to think of innovative ways to propose, and this is a great idea! What better way to preserve the memory of the proposal, and have an impromptu engagement shoot literally RIGHT after …
