Engagement Shoot!

Hey!!

As usual I have been super duper busy! I finally got time to work on my blog.

You will most likely see a number of updates from me to bring you up to date. So where to start?

Since booking our photographer, we've managed to get our Engagement Shoot out of the way, thank God! Nowadays, a lot of couples are going with a certain 'theme' - but Hari and I chose a, somewhat, simpler theme. A Fall inspired theme was at the top of our list, especially because of the changing colours and how well they would look in our photos.

We were searching for the perfect location when we came across High Park for our day shoot and Berber Lounge for the evening. With all the fuss about finding a location, I had no time to figure out outfits and makeup! So as always, I was left panicking last minute. For a girl who loved shopping, every store seemed to piss me off. After endless procrastination, I found a purple blouse at Dynamite and a beautiful dress from Forever 21 (pictures are below).

So then comes the hair and makeup situation - if you know me, then you should know I'm a very simple girl, I don't wear makeup on a daily basis and I almost never get my hair done. Until now that is. I got my hair done at Volume Spa and my amazingly talented friend, Mitza who is a makeup artist, offered to do my make up for me. I can honestly tell you, I've never felt more beautiful. She completely transformed me, I didn't even recognize myself!

With all the worrying about how I would look, I never sat down and actually thought about how I'd pose!! Here's a spoiler alert for all you brides, the photographer(s) will most likely put you in the most awkward position - but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to get the perfect shot!;) 

So this one is for the ladies, most of us have certain insecurities about our body- but please do let your photographer know- otherwise you will end up disappointed with you final product! I am talking from experience, this happened to me because I failed to mention my bad angles! But I'm glad now because I opened up to my photographer and he is well aware for our next shoot!


Here is a SMALL teaser from our ESHOOT!! The rest will be viewed during our reception in a slideshow.
