Engagement Photo Shoot

Corinne holding the flash for the Lawrence the photographer

Jules and I had our engagement pictures taken at English Springs Park in Chino Hills today. It was a beautiful day; the weather was absolutely perfect, especially considering it was over a hundred degrees just a few days ago.

We were told that the shoot would last an hour, so we're not particularly sure why our photographer, Lawerence, kept us there for over two hours. It might be that he was playing with his new lens, or maybe the park was just so pretty, oooorrr maybe his models were just so good-looking. :P In any case, you can't imagine how difficult it is to smile and kiss and "pretend to be in love" for two hours straight. I don't know how we're going to do it for 12 hours on our wedding day. Haha.

But it was a lot of fun. Lawrence was a friendly and engaging photographer. We also have to thank Corinne for coming along and being so helpful.

In other news, we've reserved a white Chrysler 300 Bentley edition limousine for our bridal party, and the invitations should be all done in two weeks. I'm behind on a lot of other things but I'm getting there!

Update

It's a little weird that my last post here was a month ago. Things have been on hold because of term papers, projects, and final exams. Now that school's out for the summer, wedding planning is in full blast again.

First off, Jules and I booked a DJ/MC from Have Music Will Travel. They were half the price of a couple other DJ's that we really liked, so we were a little hesitant to book them. Quality over quantity, I always say. But after several good referrals and consideration for our empty wallets, we thought we'd give them a go. I hope we don't regret it.

Invitations are almost ready for the printer. We're finalizing the text and tweaking the design here and there. Feanne gave me some beautiful artwork for it, and I'm really excited to show off her stuff.

We're due for our engagement photo shoot really soon, and possibly a sample-arrangements session from our florist. We still need to send swatches and tux instructions to some members of our bridal party, and we need to book a string quartet for our ceremony/cocktail hour. Camille's working on transportation and hair & make up artists, and mom's got the giveaways covered.

Whew. What else? We're pretty much on track, actually, maybe even a little ahead. Which is good, I like that. I enjoy this stuff.
