• Chalkboard Charm, Sweet Looks + Library Books: Engagement Session Love

    Posted February 2, 2011 by EmmalineBride | ♥ 11 Comments

    We love every single thing about Kathy & Keller’s engagement session photographed by the lovely Michelle Gardella Photography. It took place on January 30th at a private boarding school in Connecticut where Keller works (and where the couple will be married!). The engagement shoot began at the library where the couple snuggled under blankets, strung a whimsical garland of library books and stole kisses behind the stacks. In the next location, the classroom chalkboard added tons of charm: Kathy blew heart kisses at Keller and they re-enacted their proposal. In the final location outside, the brick wall symbolized their solid bond as they held hands, red hearts, and each other in warm embraces. This is a memorable engagement shoot because it intimately portrays two people who are true soul mates. We can’t wait to see their wedding photos! Enjoy! ♥

      I’ve never seen chalkboards used in engagement pics like that before. Great idea and very unique :-)

      Love this engagement session! It’s definitely a favorite. The books and chalkboard add such great details…as well as their glasses!
