Next “Roll Out” of The Engagement Pictures
July 17, 2014Seriously y’all I can’t even begin to tell you how giddy I get by looking at these bad boys. It was such a cool experience being up on the campus that we both went to and have such fond memories at. We had a one year overlap when Mark was in Law school there and I was a freshman……yes we clearly had different experiences there you know since he like went to college in the 90’s but that is a whole different story ;-)
Since you know what a planner I am I researched when the students were off for Summer break and sweet it was the end of June……in Gainesville…..aka the Swamp in the dead middle of Summer. So Julie sent some of her cool Michigan air down our way and thankfully it was in the low 70’s when we started bright and early. The night before we got into town we just drove around reminiscing about the places we use to hang at and gawking at all the new things that went up “oh they have a Trader Joe’s now what????” Then went to our favorite sushi place….hold the soy sauce for me….salt and I aren’t friends when it comes to pictures, cue Mark thinking I’m crazy but that’s all par for the course right?
We checked into our hotel and talk about the cutest thing ever. You know you are in Gator country when your turn down chocolates are these.
We tried to scam getting a few more but even Mark who can charm just about anyone failed. Wouldn’t these be the cutest favors for a party?
It was so special being able to have the campus to ourselves and my amazing photographer Dustin who walked miles around it with us so we could hit all our favorite landmarks. I seriously have like 100 favorite pictures. So here is the next “roll out” if you will. We still have 7 months eek! So we need to keep a few things secret right? Okay let’s get into it. Sorry for the photo dump.
Okay you ready for the “serious face” picture. Mark nailed it….of course. My photographer actually said to me “I mean seriously does he have a bad side?”
I was pretty happy I usually look like I’m about to Tanya Harding someone’s knees out when I attempt any sort of serious look but this one seriously I crack up every time I see it. I kinda dig it and laugh all at the same time. What do you think?
Nothing like snuggling up close to someone when you are sweating in the Florida Summer.
Costume change! I’m not even going to tell you where that happened….all I can say is thank goodness I did sports and can change on the way to something.
A few more before I run over my allotted amount for this one!
Shout out to this post about how to sweat proof your makeup it really stood up with all those primers and setting sprays. Even the last pictures of the day my makeup and red lip stain was holding strong with no transfer to Mark.
Alright so what do y’all think? I have so many more but I don’t want to bombard you with all of them at once. Once again shout out to my fabulous photographer at Sunglow Photography. Thank you for all your beautiful work and patience Dustin!
Make sure to check back tomorrow for the Friday Favorites and the Nordstrom sale which goes live tomorrow! xoxoxoxo
Ahhh, I love these! They came out so beautiful and loving your outfits!
Oh I LOVE these!! Makes me miss the campus so much! You guys look adorable and so so happy! Also I was totally excited over those Gator chocolates, we stayed at the Hilton over Christmas and got them too! :) It’s the little things, right?!
Love all of your engagement pictures! What a great looking couple!
LOVE these! You look gorgeous! Seriously loving both your dresses! And darn you Mark for nailing the serious face ;) Those Gator chocolates were adorable… you were definitely in Gator country! :)

Your pictures are absolutely beautiful – what a fun setting to be back on campus where you both met. You look extremely happy which is the best accessory in engagement photos. I love them!
Gorgeous!!! You two look so happy together!
Love em all, you look FABULOUS!!!!!!!
Love the location! We did ours (in 2011) in Downtown Tampa, and at the Tampa Theater. I love them all, chickie!

Your pictures are just beautiful!!! I have that sparkly bracelet in your close up picture and I just love it! It is one of my favorite accessories, very glam!
I can NOT make a serious face when someone tells me to. I just can’t!
Love them all, the way you guys look at each other, precious! What a pretty couple :) Definitely voted for you!
I had no idea that U of Florida was so beautiful. No wonder Scott talks about it all the time! What a great place to have your photos taken!
These are beautiful pictures!! Love your cream lace dress — perfection!
These turned out beautiful! I love the serious one, I think it may be my favorite…. so far :)
I’m always so impressed to see how girls can change in the smallest areas :) That’s talent.
I love your pics. So beautiful. I love simple ones like your arm on his leg.
100 favs -how many did you get? I’m curious -I usually give my clients about 40-60… so I’m wondering how many you did receive.
I am not sure how you are even going to pick out favorites! Every. Single. Damn. One. Is. Perfect. :) I’m glad you had some “cooler” weather that morning! And honestly, you would never know it was that early in the morning or that you were eventually sweating! You both look great! Even in the serious face one! I’m like you, I can’t do it! I really love the meaning behind shooting at the college! so sweet! :) ♥♥♥
I love the one where you’re in the bleachers!
Loving all of these but you definitely look ready for the Big Day in that white dress! So sweet and your photog killed it!
LOVE your engagement pictures! You nailed it with the outfit choices :)

Beautiful pictures!! You look gorgeous :) The last one is my fav!
Beautiful pictures of a great looking couple. I like the first and the last one the best. Love both of your dresses too. :-)
They came out beautifully. Love the close up one of the ring. You pulled off serious without the Tanya vibe.
LOVE THESE PICTURES!!!
Great pics , such a cute couple!
Would you like to follow each other ?
Kisses,
Emily from PTT
I agree with Brooke…the one in the stadium would be PERFECT hanging on the wall!
I can’t get over how amazing these are! Your photographer had some beautiful models to work with, but the staging is incredible. Profile pictures a-plenty for the foreseeable future, am I right?
These are perfect!! I mean I’m already biased because hello there would be no bad photo taken at UF!! You both look gorgeous!! I’m loving the back of the black dress- even though I only saw a snippet! xo
you look absolutely stunning in the black dress and black heels!!! lovely lovely photos :) i wish you guys lots of happiness.
oooh, I love that lace dress, and your ring is gorgeous. I think my faves are the ones in the stadium. They all came out fabulous though. Such an exciting time!
XO
