The actual engagement shoot

ARGH. Someone once told me that nothing will ever be as good or as bad as you imagine it will be.
Our e-shoot was on Tuesday the 13th of October. The day started out fine, I looked up in the morning disappointed to only be seeing one cloud. I happily got my make-up done and hair put up. It was only at 4pm, 30 minutes before we were meant to meet at Shorncliffe pier. The sky was cloudy, but skill blue. Our photographer (who was great) called us to say it was likely that it was going to rain. We're like, nah.
Another call. It started to RAIN. We were presented with the option of doing it another day. But I could not bare the idea. The hair, the make up, the facial, the NAILS! ARGH!! The only thing stopping me from crying was the make up.
When the photographer arrived the rain had stopped, so we walked out to the pier, then it started to POUR. My fringe fell out, my shoes filled with water. I felt awful.

After 10 the rain stopped and a rainbow came out. I'll post a photo asap.

Engagement shoot

Is this week! At shorncliffe pier and sandgate. I'm getting pretty excited/nervous. It'll be good to get some practice in front of a camera! Not a lot of people seem to have heard of the concept. So here it is, the photographer takes photos of the couple in normal clothes at their desired location. Our Photographer is going to take the pics and make a guest book for ppl to sign at the wedding. Its usually done a month prior to the wedding, but I asked if we could do it in October to get the jacerandas. I'll probably wear a dress my late Aunty Joan bought me when I was accepted to UQ. It's turning into a bit of a tribute to those who couldnt be at the wedding.
I'm thinking of putting my hair up in a messy bun thingy. And I'm getting my makeup done...hopefully to make my eyes POP.
