Engagement Pics are In!!!

[AmberGretchen]

Hi ladies - I just got back from our graduate program retreat and they were waiting for me when I got back (a whole week early

)

I''ve posted some of my favorites in my Knot Bio

Now I have to pic my 2 favorites for the free enlargement prints. I am so excited!! What do you think ladies??

 

[qtiekiki]

I didn''t see the engagement pictures in your knot bio. That sucks. I was so exciting to see them. Any chances of posting them on here???

 

[AndyRosse]

I didn''t see them either

.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

me either.

 

[AmberGretchen]

Sorry guys - try this link

 

[qtiekiki]

You two looks so cute. The e-pics are awesome. I was looking to use B5 for my wedding day, but they were booked already. These are my favorites.

 

[AmberGretchen]

Thanks - I''m glad the link worked. That first one is one of my favorites as well - B5 actually posted it on one of their sites (they have a blog).

Just in case though, I thought I''d put them straight in here too, so people don''t have to look at the bio if they don''t want to:

They''re awesome! You guys look great, so happy and attractive! Thanks for sharing!

 

[AndyRosse]

Oh, you guys look sooooo happy!!!! Congratulations again!

Wonderful pics!!

 

[JessesGrl]

Great pictures, I LOVE all of them, how will you choose???

 

[Tybee]

AG,
These were right after your hair and make up trial, right? Because your hair and make-up look DIVINE!
Your photographer really did a bang up job, the pictures are lovely, and you two look so cute together.
I must say, if you guys have children, they are going to have the most SPECTACULAR EYES!
You both have such great eyes!!
Congrats on the pics!
You look very much in love.
Ty

I love them!!!

My two favorites are the first one that qtiekiki posted, and this one:

 

[flopkins]

What wonderful pics!!!!! Love the two qtiekiki posted, and the one Minny posted. Those are my 3 fav...

I love your makeup and hair ... did you do take the pics the same day as your trial or did you do it on your own?

 

[ky6]

What wonderful pics! You look stunning. And you and your fiance are so striking together! My faves are undoubtedly the one Minny posted and the first one qtiekiki posted.

 

[AmberGretchen]

Awww...you guys are so nice

WE liked so many of them and we'll be getting TONS of prints once we get the digital negatives, but for the first two large prints we've chosen these two:

I also LOVED the ones that Minny and qtiekiki posted, but FI had to have a say too

But we'll definitely be getting nice prints of the other two to frame and probably some for the guestbook as well.

 

[Blue824]

Aww, I enjoyed looking at your pictures! You two are such a great looking couple! Your photographer did a wonderful job, I really don''t know how you can choose!

 

[flutterby]

What GREAT pics! THey all turned out so well. We got ours done yesterday, and now I want to see them! I hope they turn out nearly as good. The ones you picked were great, my other favorite is the one where he is kissing your cheek from in front of you and you have this great smile!

OK, my absolute fave is the top one in this post....soooo classy, sexy, and sweet all at the same time!

You two are toooo freakin'' cute...love the pics!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MelissaSue]

Yeah! That first one you picked was my favorite too.
and this one was my other fave

 

[jenwill]

Those are gorgeous pics, AmberGretchen! I love the ones you chose, and can only hope that someday in the future when i get to take engagement pics that they can come out even half as nice.

I agree w/ Flopkins & others who loved the b&w photo the best! So classic & you guys both look gorgeous! What a handsome couple you guys make & you look divine, AmberGretchen! You sort of remind me of Ali McGraw in Love Story in some of these.

 

[JCJD]

Nobody's picked out my other favorite yet, so here's my input!

Great choices AG! You can see how much you two adore each other in every single photo!

 

[icekid]

awww, seriously AG they are all gorgeous!! everyone has already picked out my favs. Makes me so excited to get ours done eventually

 

[Angel7]

You guys look great! Beautiful couple.
Love those B&W shots!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Aww...thanks so much everyone. Melissa - that one was actually my other favorite, and FI has agreed we will get an enlargement of it as well once we get the digitial negatives, we just thought maybe it was too similar to the B+W one.

This is an open appeal - does anyone know how to put these into a collage? I have a sinking suspicion I need photoshop to do it, but wanted to check it people know of another way?

 

[Erin]

AG - great photographs to choose from - my favorite is the first one you posted in front of the big tree!!!

 

[gingerBcookie]

OMG...i loooove your pics! these are my favorites, but thay all looked so great it was hard to narrow down!!! you are so photogenic! you two are a beautiful couple!

 

[AmberGretchen]

You guys are so sweet. JCJD - that one you posted was actually one of FI''s favorites, so I''m sure we''ll end up with at least one print.

And Ginger, its funny, we are actually not photogenic (especially me - because my face is sort of round and I"m so pale I ALWAYS look way fatter in pictures than in real life, and FI''s narrow face usually makes it even worse), but our photographers are super-talented and managed to make us look good in the pictures. I even said to my mom - I had no idea I could look that good in a picture

And for those who asked, that was the day of my hair and makeup trial. I am really happy with the makeup, although I might have her make it a bit more pink and sort of glowing for the wedding. The hair needs a lot of work - I want much less curl and more soft wave, which I think will also hold better, since I don''t care for the crunchy curls look, and I think that''s what you have to do if you want them to stay. I also need more serious frizz-fighting, and I may look into pulling more of it back so its out of my face more. Its a work in progress for sure. I''m also considering getting a spray-on tan before the wedding, so that might change the look of things. On the one hand, I want to look like myself, and that is very pale, but on the other hand, I really hate how my arms look in a lot of the photos, mostly because of how pale they are, and since I''ll have a lot more skin showing in my wedding dress, I think it might be a good idea.

Thanks again ladies - you guys are so sweet!

p.s. can anyone re-size that nice black and white one for me somehow - I''d like to use it but I think its too big for my knot bio signature.

 

[MissAva]

I love them all! You two are so cute and very friendly looking. There is jsut soemthing romantic about black and white shots.

 

[Dodger Gurl]

Oh how beautiful!!! How will you ever choose just one?
