When Colby and Kate arrived to our location on this snowy day, we weren't quite sure what to expect. Temperatures were freezing, the hike was long, and snow was showing no signs of lightening up. Once we found the ideal location, we went to the extreme—made our way through knee-deep snow, limited our jackets, and constant warming up our fingers and hands. We shot some of the most beautiful images this day that will forever be some of my favorite photographs and greatest memories.

Can I just tell you the absolute headache it was to figure out what the hell to wear for engagement pictures?! I could not find 2 sources that just agreed. Or something that said "Have this many outfits ready, and this is what they should be". So, dammit, I'll make on for you! Have 3 outfits prepared for the both of you. Outfit 1- Dressy- think button up and dress shoes for the guys and a structured dress and heels for the ladies. Hubby's dressy outfit. Button up, black tie, grey vest, maroon shirt. NO PLEATS! :) My dressy outfit. Form fitting dress and peep toe heels. Outfit 2- Comfortable- jeans and nice shirts. Loafers for guys, flats for the ladies. I couldn't decide so I had two options. And three shoe options. Obviously. Hubby wore the shirt open for a relaxed feel. I couldn't decide for him either. So he got a polo shirt as well. Outfit 3- Flow-y- silk shirt for the guys and maxi dress or skirt for the ladies. Shoes optional. Silk button down shirt for Hubby with khakis Maxi Dress and sandals for me Undergarments: This is one thing I wish I thought through just a little bit more. You don't want underwear lines or bra straps showing in your pictures! I would personally recommend Spanx. Whether you are a size 2 or 16, they will at least hide your pantie lines! And VS has some great bras that don't show bumps. Layers and collars: This one I kind of figured out on my own. I spent hours looking at engagement pictures. I finally noticed the connection in all the ones I liked. Layers and shirt collars. Watch TV. Or a movie. Even the extras have layers and collars on. It is a more polished look. Matching: DON'T MATCH! Compliment one another. Remember that color wheel from elementary school? I think Cornell may be a Deathly Hallows Fan... but I digress. Derek and I did Green and Yellow, Blue and Violet, and Maroon and Teal. So not the exact compliments of one another, but they also weren't the exact same color. Also, note the outfits are in the same "tone"- the blue and purple were jewel toned, the green and yellow were muted colors, as were the maroon and teal. Patterns: I personally hate patterns in engagement pictures. But you might be able to pull off a small pattern on a structured dress. Please, pleasepleaseplease, no plaid. I am so incredibly sorry for these terrible pictures. I took them the night before our shoot on my phone to send to my bridesmaids for approval! Next post will be our engagement shoot with Tina Mortela Photography! Do you agree? Did you find this post helpful? Do you think all these rules should be thrown out the window?

The fact of the matter is, your boyfriend thinks you're beautiful no matter what. However, you may be in the mood to spice up your look and just to try something different to make your special man see your beauty in a new light. If you...

Candid, fun, documentary style engagement photos are truly my favorite. J & J share a love bigger than the stars & it was such an honor to step back & let that love shine as we spent the evening together in Zion National Park.
