"Tangled" up in you!

About three weeks ago I contacted the beautiful Casie of Casie Photographics and said the following: (not my exact words but close enough)

"So I'm engaged. Let's talk. Tangled Theme Engagement pics."

So Casie and I started planning on Pinterest. You can check out my board here and Casie's board here.

This past year, I have found a LOVE LOVE LOVE for the movie 'Tangled' by Disney. There is something about the story that captures me. Not only that, but the music is beautiful! *sidenote: I am considering having "I See the Light" as our wedding dance song. If you haven't seen it, please do!

Dave and I knew we wanted our pics to come before Christmas so that we could send out Christmas letters that say "We're Engaged! *Finally*"

Casie, who I have known for about a year now, was amazing! She took all of our suggestions and created these beautiful pictures. She even drove out to our apartment to capture about 5 shots in our kitchen! Dave is a chef so this was important to me.

Here are a few of our shots. You can view more at Casie's Blog. We are totally in LOVE with all of them!

Remember now: Dave proposed at Jellyrolls!

The frying pan shot was a must!

There are tons more so please check out Casie's blog post! We love her to death!

Inspired!

A few days ago I had a spark of inspiration. Dave and I are taking some serious steps in our relationship. We have been talking about possibly getting married some day and having a family, etc. So I have decided that when the time comes, I want to do two things for our engagement shoot.

The first thing I want to do is have a kitchen themed engagement shoot. Dave is a chef for a living and I LOVE LOVE LOVE to bake in my free time (which is not very much). I think it would be adorable to have us getting messy in the kitchen. I could slap him with an icing covered spatula and he could show me how to probably flip veggies. Can you just imagine the possibilities? It would be so much fun!

The second idea I have stems from a movie that has become close to our hearts. That movie would be Disney's Tangled. Dave tells me that I have Rapunzel's child-like spirit and seems to think he is as slick as Mr. Flynn Rider. He has tried countless times to give me the smolder and it fails. I do get a good chuckle out of it though.

Anyways here are some pictures that inspired me for our shoot, whenever it comes.

One of my favorite shots:


I love these lanterns:



So close:


Gotta be tough:


If only we could find a white horse.... lol

Can't you just see the two of us doing something silly like these? haha I haven't told him of my plans yet...hopefully he says yes. Then again, I guess I'm the one who has to say yes first. :p
What do you guys think?
