wedding-proposal-photographySo many wonderful people I know have been getting engaged. Though I have yet to experience that moment of bliss, I can only imagine it’s a truly sacred once in a lifetime feeling. That being said, while discussing said time of puffy clouds, sparkles, and marshmallows with my beloved, I made him pinky swear that we would not partake in one particular betrothed tradition… engagement photos.  Some of you may be cocking your head sideways and wondering why I’m being such a Scrooge about something that sounds so seemingly fun… Well, I have gathered quite a bit of evidence as to why I’m not going to go ahead and jump off the Kodak moment bandwagon.

My evidence has been categorized into three separate categories. Please behold, Exhibit A- The Not So Great Outdoors:
