a few weeks ago, we met up with our wedding photographer, meredith, and took these pictures in a park near our home. it was so much fun.

meredith is not only sweet, but she's also super talented. we played around with a chalkboard a little and then just took advantage of the setting sun. (oh and in case you're wondering..."jeg elsker deg" is norwegian for "i love you".)

my favorite part about this whole experience was seeing how well meredith captured us as a couple, and how comfortable we felt with her. i can't wait for the big day...!

xoxo,



p.s. i was feeling a little shy telling you all this, but these pictures were also featured on ruffled! whoa.


p.p.s. i felt like i was wearing so much makeup, (in fact, i put on much more than i wear on a daily basis) and yet, i still look like i'm not wearing any... haha. is it just me, or does this happen to you too?

Lilapuppy said...

These are so wonderful. I have always been sort of so so on engagement photos, but these are lovely and natural. And yes, I always feel like the make-up is PILED on, but in photos does not look as if it is.

bashtree said...

Such sweet photos - what a treasure!

{melissa} said...

lovely photos!

Carissa said...

you look gorgeous, nina. these photos are beautiful. the sun setting, the golden leaves, the yellow scarf... it is perfect. my favorites are the last two, of simon kissing your forehead and then with his arms around you. but you two look so happy and in love in all of them.

Ida Nielsen said...

You look gorgeous together!!!!! I'm loving the chalk board idea...and your yellow scarf ;-D

lynette said...

Nicole Marie said...

these are adorable!!! you two are just adorable!!!

Megara said...

so gorgeous nina! the best part is how truly in love you both look.
xo meg
ps, it's weird seeing simon's real name on the other website!
pps, about the makeup... i have the same trouble, and i'll tell you the best decision on my wedding day was to wear fake eyelashes. they don't look fake at all once you're all made up, and they actually show up in the photos and really make your eyes pop. totally worth it!

Ali said...

Nina, they are absolutely gorgeous.

Rachael said...

These are wonderful! I think the fact that you can't tell you are wearing makeup means you did it well. (p.s. I love the yellow scarf!)

myprettypennies said...

I love them!! You're so beautiful. And I LOVE the idea of a chalkboard! What a fun time that must have been. :)

CGGI said...

Wren said...

Vee said...

I love these photos! When we did our engagement photos, I felt like I was wearing too much makeup. Then I got the proofs and realized I should have been wearing even more!

Isabelle said...

Thanks for sharing your engagement photos. You are beautiful and Simon is touching.

I never wear makeup so I was mortified by how much the makeup artist put on me for my wedding - she said that she was going light, yikes. But it's true I didn't look overdone in the pictures and neither do you, you look great.
