Chronicles of a Pinay Bride: Our Engagement Pictures Part 2

We got our official Engagement picture disks yesterday and we are so happy to see the complete photos from our session.

Check out how cute the package is in Gwen's signature black and pink colors... and check her ad in the new issue of Get Married magazine!

Here's a few more from our session...

You will not believe how much people were there that day at the beach from these pictures!

It looked like it was taken from a studio with a back draft but I assure you it was not...case in point - our hair is messed up from the breeze =)

Isn't this one gorgeous?

Uh, yes, the cameras are still clicking...

Yes, yes, I know, I noticed where my hand was too lol

And no, I will not tell you what he whispered that made me giggle this much ;-)

It was such a blast working with Gwen and Matt as you can see in our pictures.

Next, deciding on what to do for the Save the Dates...

Chronicles of a Pinay Bride: Our Engagement Pictures

A few weeks back, GG and I had our engagement pictures taken. We were very nervous and a little shy posing in public. Yes me! Yes shy! ha ha It is so different posing in front of a timed camera for my lookbook shots. But Gwen and Matt made us feel so at ease! Actually, too at ease that we sometimes forgot we were on a photo session with them and that there are other people around us!

The Casa Marina and Jacksonville Beach are very memorable for us. It was where we went on our second date. The date that confirmed our feelings - that we were meant for each other and that we found our soul mates. So, we wanted to document that day by having our engagement pictures taken there.

Jackie Neal did my makeup. She was so nice and she made it look so natural! I didn't feel like I was wearing any at all!

Gwen released a sneak peak of our Engagement Pictures on her blog. I am so excited to share some of my faves here and be sure to check the rest of the pictures in her blog and say hi!

I love how my GG is still taller than me even with 4 inches heels on!
