One of the most common questions I get from brides is "What should we wear" in our engagement pictures"? Honestly it is a little bit more involved than just your outfits. It is where you decide to shoot, are you bringing any props, what feeling are you trying to portray from this session.

After the whole thing is covered refrigerate for 30 minutes, and then break apart.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!
