Engagement Session Brainstorming

Brian and I are blessed to have the opportunity to work with Sara Willis on the 29th of March, we are FINALLY doing our engagement session. Yay! I'm super stoke. Not only do I adore her, the whole session just tickles my fancy. As I was trying to gather up ideas, I figured I might as well blog about it. So here it goes....

Beach: St Augustine Beach

Mango Mango's Restaurant

Stir It Up Restaurant

Etsy.com: Papercutsbyjoe

• We  love St Augustine Beach, specifically A Street. It's a pretty chill place. We have definitely spent our summer days bumming around here when we can. 
• I'm thinking we could bring a bike and cruise around a bit.
• I love these vintage shots from http://ruffledblog.com/vintage-beach-engagement-session/ 

• Even have a lovely picnic at the beach. http://www.chicagoillinoisweddingphotography.com/2010/06/22/chicago-beach-engagement-photos-pictures-images/

•  OH NO!!!! I was working on the blog and all of a sudden everything I did was erased and I don't have the list of my sources. Dang it! So, I'm sorry if I'm unable to refer to your site if the photos are from you.
• I LOVE LOVE LOVE these far away shots from http://www.carolinetran.net/blog/2010/09/nautical-theme-engagement-photos-caitlin-simon/

• We love flying kites! 

• Oh YES please!!! I definitely want a shot like this one Sara! :)

This is HOT

Park: Treaty Park/ Anastasia Park

• Picnic at beach or at the park? What do you think?

•  Brian and I are Scrabble Maniacs!

• We can play tennis at the park too. http://www.artessen.com/posts/135088/b871.html

• We like to play hoops too sometimes.

Carousel

• We have a carousel downtown by the public library. I've always wanted to ride it and just take pictures. Bucketlist I suppose. haha

Music

• Brian and I love to sing. Although I think he's much better than I am. I do treasure the songs he made/ serenade for me. 

•  However for us, we would probably put something like "It's time to make music" (inside joke) http://www.mywedding.com/blog/real-couples/real-engagements/travis-amandas-diy-picnic-engagement-shoot/

• I've always pictured Brian and I singing a duet. It still has yet to come. http://greenweddingshoes.com/an-engagement-shoot-inspired-by-music-butterflies/

Tent

•  We also have this thing I've entitles, TRT which stands for Tent Reading Time. It's one of our new favorite hobbies :)

Water Balloon Fight

• I am ABSOLUTELY thrilled about this part! The FINALE. I want to do something messy and fun. No poses whatsoever. Just pure candid shots. http://ruffledblog.com/water-balloon-engagement-session/

Paint Fight

• Yay more mess! I'm torn between the two. Which one should we do? http://www.elizabethannedesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/paint-your-love-red-and-white-engagement-photos-7.jpg

• This is my favorite paint fight couple so far. They just seem like they really enjoyed each other's company. http://hellomydearblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/paint-splatter-engagement.html

And alas! Those are my findings. I had fun looking through these ideas. I can't wait for our turn. Woohoo! If you have anymore suggestions. Please feel free to comment/ suggest.
