Two-toned purple hair + this epic dress + dog = giving us life

We were so taken by this two-toned purple hair, lovely lace-topped dress, groom in Chucks, and their plush toy-channeling pooch, that we just couldn’t look away. Hashtag engagement shoot goals. Claudia and Mike chose this field in San Dimas, California after Mike proposed on a hot air balloon! Let’s take a look at how it went down…

Animal mask engagement shoot

This animal mask engagement shoot in Denver brings out our wild side

Stephanie and Justin were inspired to rock a killer animal mask engagement shoot, inspired by the masks of Wintercroft Masks. They ultimately chose a fox and a bear mask, which turned out to be an awesome choice. Justin made the masks out of cereal boxes, tape, and paint and they looked phenomenal.

They and their killer photographer, [heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/green-blossom-photography"]Green Blossom Photography[/heart], chose to wander around an art district in Denver where one-of-a-kind murals are everywhere. Try not to be inspired to find your own inner animal at your engagement session, too!

Vacay goals: This Italy trip doubled as a traveling engagement shoot

Jason and Didi wanted to pair their Italian vacation with a killer engagement shoot with Jason’s sister, Sasha (also their photog!) and her husband. The 14-day itinerary covered a few cities including Milan, Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Rome, and Amafi Coast. Sigh — hashtag traveling engagement shoot goals.

The group stated in a castle in Tuscany, rode in boats and gondolas in Venice, stayed in Art Deco hotels, ate gelato in Sienna, and toured lovely streets and squares. It was a lush and fabulous way to celebrate Jason and Didi’s engagement and we get to see it all! A-wanderlusting we will go…

Stop posing and start cuddling with an intimate photo session

Stop posing and start cuddling with an intimate photo session

When it comes to non-wedding couples’ photo sessions, we’ve already seen rad engagement sessions, trash-the-dress shoots, and amazing, body=posi boudoir shoots. But we are loving the concept of an intimate photo session with the two of you and your chosen photographer. There’s just something so sweet and vulnerable in these shots. If you have the option of getting a separate session with your wedding photographer, an intimate photo session like this just might be a great choice.
