we LOVE amelia

So, we took our engagement pictures a few weeks ago - and our photographer, Amelia Lyon, already sent us a gallery of the images, posted the session on her blog, and sent us the preview of our album!

When I see the images, I just can't help thinking how when Eddie and I are old and retired, we will look back at this album and be able to feel what we feel right at his moment. The joy of being young and in love, lucky enough to find and marry your soul mate and best friend, being surrounded by family and friends who support you and your union, being privileged enough to have a love and marriage that is recognized legally and emotionally and having a photographer who is so awesome that she can make you feel all of this at once and capture it as a piece of art. There are several that we would love to have made into prints... but we are definitely going with her fave (mine as well) for our wedding day print. I can't wait to see it hanging in our new home :) You can check out more pics on her blog!

Also, Amelia has the BEST taste in music. The song she put on our album slideshow is so perfect! Just like her :)

Hair and Makeup was done by the beautiful and sweet Nicole DeAnne. I can't wait to see her again on the wedding day. She is seriously such a sweetie and I know she will do some amazing things with my already gorgeous bridesmaids! ;)

Another note about the album - it is technically a guest-sign in album, but we don't want a bunch of people writing all over our faces. Especially cuz some people just sign their autograph! LOL1 So, we are only having our family and bridal party sign the album. :) It'll be more like a "yearbook" entry from each person.... hopefully! But is it still possible to "display" on the wedding day? Just hide any pens so people don't think they can write all over it? ;)
