mermaiden at 07:22pm on 20/08/2011 under jenn and me, laura and me, love, pictures, wedding, wedding 2.0Today, my sister Laura (a professional photographer among many other things!) went with us to Tillman Nature Preserve to do our engagement photoshoot--Engagement 2.0. XDDDDD
Jenn is the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world--last night, we figured out what we were going to wear for the shoot, and she kind of slayed me when she put it all together. It's one of her favorite outfits, and she's worn it many times before, but today, out in the colors and magic of that place, she glowed with love. Tillman was where I did many, many spells of hope to the Goddess when we were in our long distance relationship, asking Her to let Jenn and I be together. It was a perfect full circle to take our real, legal, this-is-totally-happening engagement photos there, in some of the same places where I poured my heart out to the universe, asking for one thing: her, always.
<3 <3 <3 I am so in love with this woman, it's something I can not contain. My sister did an exquisite job of capturing that in this photoset. I'm humbled and grateful that she was able to create such magic, and to take such beautiful photos. I love you so much, kitty--thank you~ <3
You can see the whole set here at our Flickr~ <3
This teepee has been in the woods for years. No one knows who made it. We MIGHT know who put that heart banner on it, though. XDDDDD
One of my favorite pictures in the entire world. The colors of the woods and swampland behind us were filled with a riot of wildflowers~
This picture slays me. As my sister says: "GOD DAMN JENN AND HER FUCKING AMAZING JESUS EYES." Don't ask us why we think that. We're not sure.
And summer fades to fall, my dear, but nothing truly fades with you.
My lady~ <3
We both call this our Princess Bride picture. WE ARE NOT SURE WHY.
My favorite picture. We're going to use this as the author photo on the book we're currently writing together, Alight~ *SO HAPPY*
I include this here because THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS PHOTO THAT HAS EVER BEEN TAKEN OF US. I love that we're both serious at the SAME TIME. XDDDDDD
My sister's favorite picture. She is very artistic. <3
I love Jenn so much in this~ <3
This one just makes me want to break out into poetry. "Let us go then, you and I..."
Why YES, we totally live here! We live in a land of MAGIC and SPARKLE.
One of my favorite pictures of all time--a candid. Jenn is like THIS IS SERIOUS FAIRY BUSINESS, and I'm just chortling in the background. <3
As a child of Aphrodite, flowers grow directly from Jenn's hands. *nods*
Laura said that this is the evilest I have ever looked. I don't think I look EVIL--perhaps IMPISH and QUITE HAPPY TO HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD IN MY ARMS. <3
Happily ever after~ <3
I am so effing in love with these photos, and so happy, I can't stand it~ It makes up for the dress situation still not being resolved. I shall live on LOVE AND FAITH ALONE! *triumphantly shakes little fist*
Edited to add: I JUST received an email that my dress order is ALMOST COMPLETE. They bypassed all of the other steps they were talking about (no phone call, no communication! *laughs*) WHICH I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT. *crosses every finger* OMG, C'MON, UNIVERSE!!!!!!
