Focusing on your engagement photos today. Don’t be afraid to splurge a little on an outfit or two. These images will likely be displayed at your wedding. You want to look fabulous!!
I am frequently (usually in a very panicked voice) asked “What should we wear?!” in reference to family portrait sessions. I always tell my clients that it’s really up to them and what their family feels comfortable in. Which inevitably results in my lovely clients all pushing the easy button… white or black shirts, denim and flip flops for all! Oh dear. lol
So I thought it would be fun to have a revolving set of inspiration for upcoming photo sessions. 
This week, I’m focusing on family portraits as I’ve gotten several calls and messages about the upcoming fall photo season. This week’s W2WW (What to Wear Wednesday) would also make for a super fun boy/girl outfit combo for an engagement session!
I encourage you to step outside of the boring matchy-matchy (and white shirt/jeans) combo and seek out lots of fun colors and textures for your next photo session. What you wear can make or break your images. Take your upcoming photo session to the next level and show off your family’s killer style!
All of these lovely items can be found at Old Navy (minus Dad’s shoes which can be found at Piperlime).
On September 18th, Andrea & Brent tied the knot. You might remember them from their engagement session over the summer. They had a beautiful wedding and a fabulous reception. They were surrounded by lots of their family and friends.
Andrea and Brent were a dream to work with. They chose to have a private “first look”, which ranks way up on my love the bride and groom scale! When doing a private first look, you have the opportunity to see each other for the first time privately (well, minus little ol’ Marinda haha) without a church full of people watching you. You also can then proceed with the family portraits before the ceremony. Because let’s face it… after the ceremony, your guests, bridal party and even you just want to get out of the church and on to the party/food!
So, I was beyond thrilled when Andrea and Brent said they wanted to do a private first look!
Ok, enough of my blabbing… here are just a handful of my favorites from their beautiful wedding day!
As you can see, they truly had a gorgeous day. I am so blessed to be able to document such an important day in the lives of two people.
Just a quick snap of the happy couple and myself, courtesy of a wedding guest (thanks Kelly!!). Note to self… have someone snap a photo at the beginning of the day when I don’t look so worn out! haha
Andrea and Brent, I wish you a long and happily ever after!
xoxo,
Marinda

I love this great article on your website. There are lots of photo websites that are of a very low quality out there, yet this is not one of them. The template you’ve installed certainly increases the experience and compliments the content wonderfully. I am going to come back to take a look at a lot more of your hard work. Cheers!
