Okay once again let me say that I love our photographer. I also love Bj, rainy days, and Oregon. All of which I got to enjoy last Saturday. I am hoping against hope for this same kind of moody/rainy/windy weather for our wedding. Please don’t say I’m crazy. Straight up sunshine is not my favorite kind of weather. It has its place, say in July, but in March in Oregon my bet is on the gloom. And the gloom glows, it’s the best light to photograph in, the light that looks like it will break through the clouds any moment, but never quite does. So here are my favorite shots from a gloomy glowing day!


We found this storage unit place in the Pearl to start our day. How sick is that yellow people? I think Bj and I have a million pictures where he’s picking me up, but usually you can’t tell because you just see our upper bodies, so this is fun to see the hight difference (one whole foot), right after this I lost a shoe!


Hehehe, he always makes me giggle.


I loved Bj’s Eskimo kiss idea.


For our collection, we love our shoes!


This was a bit dangerous, the whole scaling a wall thing.


As you can see we tracked down every cool wall in the pearl. The only way we would have done better would have been by getting on rooftops (and someday I will!). And the forehead kisses are my favorite thing ever!


Gotta love the wind. This new boardwalk thing is sweet too, by the way.


And my favorite: the puddle jumpers!

Love you Beeg!!!

Our BRILLIANT photographer just sent me the disc with all our engagement shots. I don’t have time to upload them all now, but here’s a preview. Also hair and make up went great! I love the Bridal Loft girls!!!

I’m making a list and checking it twice!

-Bj’s gift, check!
-shoes off to be dyed, check!
-haircut, check!
-final florist meeting


check!

That’s just a quickie throw somethings together bouquet that my florist does to show you textures and colors. I love the open blooms. The centerpieces will also be with these colors, on chartreuse table clothes, with gold chairs (I know, WHAT, GOLD? but it’s the only thing that works in the room, and so I’m workin the gold).

-Final hair style decision? Um, no. I must say hair style "up do" magazines: prom mags (Emilie’s), wedding mags and others are very prejudice about short hair. They all had long, sort of wavy/curly hair. Also looking at those prom mags made me realize teenagers these days have ample opportunity to "slut it up" Cut out sides and slits up to your high thigh anyone? {shutter}

Got any other place to look? I now have chin length hair and I want it up funky and twisted. Oh and my trail is Wednesday morning.
