Two weeks ago, Jay and I had our engagement pictures shot by our wedding photographer, Ken Hild. I’ve seen a lot of pictures that Ken has done for people that I know and that I don’t know and they always turn out amazing. I was really excited when we decided to go with Ken as our photographer.
We had our pictures taken on Friday, March 25 around 6pm in down Port Jefferson, NY (on Long Island). It. Was. FREEZING. Luckily, Ken kept things moving along. Because it was so cold that evening (38 degrees and we were on the water, where there was a breeze too), my sister Katelyn kindly lent me her Michael Kors trenchcoat to wear over my dress. I had been trying to decide between this dress and the pink one that I wore to the Lost Finale Party in LA but went with this one because I hadn’t ever worn it before lol and after I tried it on, I was too cold to change again haha.
Anyway, I think we did a decent job of controlling our chattering jaws and the fact that by the time the last picture was taken, we had lost feeling in our lower limbs completely lol. It was still a lot of fun and we’re really looking forward to working with Ken for the wedding. Everyone please pray for 70+ degree weather on Long Island come April 29!!
And jump if you want more…
Nice! Can’t wait to see the pics from your big day. Our engagement/pre-nup pics were supposed to go into a sign-in book for the reception, but we crammed in so many shots that we just made it an album that people at the ceremony could leaf through during the cocktail & hors d’oeuvres hour.
We got the proofs back from our ceremony & reception earlier this week. Out of 8 DVDs filled to the brim with literally several thousand shots we have to pick 200-250 to go into our album. Jen’s deputized me to pick them since she picked our engagement/pre-nup pics. This will honestly take a while. Plus I have to run my choices by her for final approval or veto. =)
Dang it. That should read “…people at the reception could…”
Love these! Love the first and last ones especially! So happy for you two!
Beautiful pictures. You look like you could be in People magazine. I love the second one. It’s a beautiful shot. They are all great. Is this your wedding photographer too?
Thank you guys!!! Carol – yes, he is taking our wedding pics too
Your wedding pictures will be beautiful. Good luck trying to narrow it down to your favorites because I have a feeling there will be a lot of great ones. Hmm, our photographer came from a studio and he sucked, our pictures all ended up having “exit” signs in them. The was pre-photoshop so we were stuck with that. It was a huge place and it was highly recommended but we got a new guy who got lost and made us late to the wedding and reception. He is the one thing I would do over.
The wedding day really does go by so quickly, it’s a blur so it’s a lot of fun to get the pictures and remember it all.
Have fun!
Beautiful photos! You are so lucky that your face keeps it color in cold weather. In cold weather I would look pale as a ghost. The funny thing is that when me and my friend went skiing years ago guys we met during the day couldn’t recognize us later that night in at bar. They would say “that was you”? LOL
Have fun!!!
