Captain America & Peggy Carter: an iconic Marvel comics engagement shoot
Have you all seen Avengers: Infinity War yet?! If you’re still waiting, here’s a little treat to tide you over…
After seven years of dating, Sean proposed to Jess while on an Alaskan Cruise with both of their families. While planning their engagement shoot, they wanted something out of the box that celebrated one of their many fandoms (they love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and all things Marvel!).

The suspenders, the hairstyles, and the gritty meets colorful meets slick backdrop made my day. I’m sure it will make yours, too.

Masked romance: a quirky masquerade-themed engagement story in the rain
I’m no Cinderella. As a child, I was one with the sword saving the prince-in-distress. But somehow I was the one, 20 years later, with a fairy godmother, the gown of my dreams, and a magical masquerade ball.
