Engagement Pictures

With all of the exciting things going on in our life, we decided to start a blog to keep our family far and near updated with pictures and details. Thanks to all of our family and friends for their unwavering support during this time. You are all so wonderful and we are so grateful to have you in our lives! We can't wait to see everyone in July!!

Speaking of July...the wedding is only 61 days away and time is flying by! Naturally I am behind on a few things (specifically getting the invitations ready) but we did manage to get the engagement pictures taken.

We had to drive 2 1/2 hours to Jackson, Mississippi to meet with our wonderful photographer, Jeff Chao. It was my first visit to Jackson and once I saw the Target and Olive Garden, I was ok. We met Jeff at a rest stop off of Natchez Trace. The rest stop was an older looking house with a wooden fence that was perfect for pictures. Thankfully it was a sunny day and the weather cooperated!

It took only about an hour to take 200+ pictures. Richie wanted to wear his sunglasses so half of our pictures show Richie with sunglasses, the other half sans-sunglasses. We ended up with a handful of good pictures- the long car ride was not a friend to us- and we are very much looking forward to working with Jeff for our wedding pictures! I'll post our favorite pictures from the day. Now it is off to check the progress on our house!
