Some of you have asked me when you get to see our engagement photos I mentioned. And the answer is…
Right now, my loves!
But, as always, I am going to keep it real with you. That means showing you the good, bad, and very very ugly.
First of all, we LOVE our photographer, Aaron Delesie, so if the purpose of the Engagement Shoot is to get you more comfortable with your photog before the big day, well then mission accomplished. Secondly, Pete and I were just as awkward as we thought we would be. Third, I for some inexplicable reason, decided to not really shower/fluff myself up before and it kinnnddd of showed. And, please remember, I was also seriously ill.
First, the good:
Cheesed but still cute.
More cute cheese.
Pete looking really hot.
…And me going, “Pete! You so hot! Peas dont leave me!!!”
But then…
The Bad
There were a few where Pete looked like a pedophile, which made me feel better about my general un-photogenicness.
And now…The really ugly.
Let me just say that this series was my idea. Let me also just say that if I were a myspace blogger who put “Current Mood” at the top of each post, my “Current Mood” for the past 2 months would be HONGRAY. So perhaps going to a cupcake shop was not the best place to take lovely engagement photos. Observe.
Me: No time to pose or smile or look at the camera or WORRY ABOUT THIGH SIZED ARM, must get cupcake in mouthpiece immediately.
Pete: (Mood: Concerned) Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.
Pete: Did you just take half that thing down in one bite? Did you chew?
Bailey: Huh? What? Stop distracting me.
Bailey: All done. Hey Pete, are you gonna finish that?
Pete: You seriously want my cookie now?
Bailey: I mean, I don’t know. I just thought you weren’t going to eat it. I am just going to stare at it though, you eat it.
Pete: I am going to slow torture you and eat my cookie in appropriate, photo friendly, little bites.
Bailey: I am going to cry.
Pete: I’m not even mad. I am impressed.
Bailey: Oh shit, this is an engagement shoot. I should probably try to look like a lady. O hay!!
Annnnd Scene.
Here are our favorites though:
BERNIE!!!!
Look at our cute little family!
Which only lasted like five seconds…
Twue Luv.
LOL bailey, your commentary is hysterical. i love it. but in all seriousness, the pictures are lovely! you guys look adorable. and so happy!
So fun! I almost just died laughing at your commentary, but seriously, most of the pics are great. That last one is perfect. And I love that dress. So purdy.
Love the last photo… Great to see how engagement pictures have changed over the years… use to be posed… and so dressy… Love the fact that now they show the character of the couple versus just a “glamor” shot of them! Love the pictures. Loved your comments on them too!
The good ones are SO GOOD! I love, love, love the pink belt 🙂
Bails, you are hilarious! Your pictures came out great! I really love the ones with the dogs, especially the one in which your cocker spaniel is hugging you. So sweet! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Ahh, I was laughing at loud at your comments for the cupcake shoot. You are hilarious. I love the very last pic of you two, so cute.
“Pete: Did you just take half that thing down in one bite? Did you chew?”

Note to self when it comes time for our engagement shoot nom noms are probably not a good idea. You look really pretty in the others though!
Here’s what I’m thinking so far for ours
1. down on the farm, pics of us playing with the ponies and perching on our horse fence
2. Cutting down our christmas tree, but do I really want to add more layers to my already fluffy frame?
ooooh myyyyyy gahhhhhhh these are awesome.
These are great and I am crying laughing over the cupcake ones. I think the last is my fave…and the ones with the dogs.
i’m just not getting to look at these!!! OMG THESE ARE SOOO FRIGGIN CUTE!!!
Thanks for always making me laugh.
I like them all, but my favorite is the last one. Magical.

Bailey, these are so pretty! I love both of the shots of your little family- the second one especially! And as an added bonus (for me anyway) your commentary was as always, hysterical!
