Engagement pictures




I have been looking forward to today for a very long time! Today, we had our engagement session with Lori and Neville from Stringer Photography (www.stringerphotography.net) They are seriously the best photographers that I have ever met. Photography was probably the most important aspect of the wedding day for me and I was extremely particular in who we chose since I minored in Photography in college. I loved Lori and Neville's approach and they seemed to have such a good eye! After about 2 hours of meeting with them...they convinced us to get engagement photos.
We decided to do the photos on the grounds of Cairnwood. Cairnwood shares the property with the Bryn Athyn Cathedral and the Glencairn Museum. Doug and I have visited the grounds previously and loved the Cathedral.
Doug is not much of a picture person and so he was a little hesitant about today. Lori and Neville instantly made us feel relaxed and at ease with them. There was a little bit of awkwardness in the beginning, but then we just did our thing and fell right into it. The cool thing about their style is that they document your time together as opposed to a "sit and pose" session. They told us to try and forget that they were there with us and to just act as if we were on a date. We both had so much fun and goofed off the entire time! We could not believe the time had gone so fast!
They actually posted our pictures on their website. We are under Galleries, Engagement Moments, Gallery II. You can also view all of the proofs from our session. Go to Menu and click View Event. There will be an option on the right to click view online proofs. Our password is Engagement.
We are really happy with the pictures so far and can't wait to see the rest!!!
