There is something so romantic about the rain, right? I absolutely love that this adorable couple didn’t let rain on the day of their engagement photos stop them. I think it really just adds to the magic of the day + makes for an ultra romantic afternoon in the rain. Thanks so much to Rylee Hitchner for sending over these gorgeous photos and congrats to Joanna + Robbie on their engagement!

I also love that these photos really show all you need for amazing engagement photos is a great photographer + a couple in love. Right?!

An Outdoor Kitchen Engagement Shoot: Jillian + Marcus

If you’ve been reading Green Wedding Shoes for awhile, you know I just love when couples infuse some of their personality into their engagement photos and today’s adorable couple did just that. Jillian + Marcus love spending time in the kitchen, so they wanted to incorporate that in some way. They asked their wedding planner Laura Helm from Ashton Events for some help bringing the kitchen outdoors and I love what they came up with. Jillian even wore her grandmother’s dress in the kitchen – along with an amazing Anthropologie apron. I also love that their talented photographer Dave Lapham captured some beautiful portraits of them under those amazing trees with spanish moss – such a perfect backdrop!

And check out Jillian’s custom-made rose gold ring!! Love it. Nice job Marcus! :) Congrats to you both on your upcoming wedding.

Love their save-the-date spoons? I shared a DIY on how to make them here.

Big thanks to Laura Helm from Ashton Events for the design + styling and to Dave Lapham for the gorgeous photos!

Apryl + Jon were inspired by the stars and their infinite love for each other – how romantic! – for their lovely engagement photos by Maria from Squaresville Studios. Plus Apryl is a sucker for cafe lights like me! Apryl and Jon are also photographers (you can see their work here: Apryl Ann Photography) so they wanted to incorporate their love of taking photographs together with the vintage cameras. Such romantic engagement photos…Congrats to Apryl + Jon!
