Engagement Photos

This post has been days in the making. I was trying to set up a photo slideshow of the whole set of our engagement photos, but until I finally figure that out this will have to do. 

So Matthew and I are the luckiest people in the world! Two of our close friends just happen to be the most amazing photographers ever, and wouldn't you know that they just happened to get married and move back to the west coast just in time for our own engagement. Ok, well I'm sure there were some other reasons. . . 

I have worked with quite a few wedding photographers throughout the years, but Tim and Sarah of Ryon:Lockhart Photography is the amazing team of photographers who just happen to also be a lovely newlywed couple. They were already great photographers from California living in New York City when they met, fell in love and moved to LA to start their lives together. From my years of being a wedding planner, I've already learned that it helps to really get along with your wedding photographers, which is why our engagement session went so well! Anyone who gets to work with this team won't be sorry and we are so honored to be able to use them before their calendar fills up!

 The pretty flowers I got for the shoot. Definitely what I'm going for on the big day too!

These first few photos were taken at the Sunnyvale Heritage Museum, which was actually our first choice for the wedding location. It's part of the park where Matthew proposed and I used to do plays at the Community Theater there when I was younger! Would have been perfect, except that they broke ground on a new courtyard and weren't available on our date. No worries, Walden West it is!

This is the picture we almost went with for the save the dates, 

but then we thought of something even better!

Whenever I wear this necklace, everyone always asks me "Is that a tiny comb?" I always scoff and say, "No, it's a Smallcombe, gosh!"

We've already been wearing matching promise rings for years. My engagement ring matches the infinity rings we got at the Art and Wine Festival years ago. 

Once again, thank you so much Ryon:Lockhart Photography! We can't wait to see what beautiful photos you take on the big day! Here is a link to the blog post they did on our engagement shoot that features a lot more photos if you just can't wait for the slideshow!

Have a good night!

Kelly McBride (soon to be Smallcombe!)
