Well I'd say that a blog post around here is long over-due, and what better an excuse than to advertise to the world wide web that Tory and I had a wonderful, fabulous, reaffirming engagement session last week. The photographer has posted a sneak peak on her blog:

And to say that we are thrilled with the shots she caught is by far the understatement of the century. Erin did an incredible job of capturing the joy and uniqueness of Tory and Amanda. While the nature of an engagement session implies that many photos have to be "posed," I think you will agree with me that she managed to capture some pretty candid facial expressions (refer to photo #2 and tell me how many hundreds of times you've seen THAT giddy, amused, mid-chuckle look on my face) and the natural way that T and I hold hands and show affection (see photos #5 and #8). The extent of her "direction" was pretty much limited to: Tory sit here, Amanda sit here. Now look at each other, now look at me... Everything else in these shots is so completely and definitively US. Major High Five to Erin J. for capturing those fleeting moments that define us as a pair.
Can not wait for her to shoot our wedding (which by the way is the day after the big Royal Shindig across the pond- an event which I intend to be sure all of our guests forget by the time our night is over)!
Anywho- rather than drag this on, as I sometimes tend to do... I just want to state simply: I am so filled with joy in life today, peace in the events of yesterday, and excitement in all of the things the future holds for me, my future husband, and our families and friends.
In true Christmas spirit, and as Tiny Tim would say, "God bless us, everyone."
(yep- its that time again!)
