Props. They can be cheesy. But sometimes cheesy is good. I love when my clients bring things that are special about them to our engagement sessions! This could be as simple as a letter of their new name together, football jersey’s or startbucks cups! Below are some of my non cheesy ways to incorporate props into your engagement session!

2. I love the idea of spray painting good old mason jars for flowers. You can pick these up at your local hardware store, or even better…the goodwill for about 20 cents each! Adding varying shapes and sizes will add visual interest.

5. Spray painting branches can either add a pop of color, or in a monochromatic palette it adds texture and height to your centerpiece.

6. I love the idea of spray painting dollar store glasses, funny faces or mustaches to give to your guests. Use them for table settings and it would be amazing in photos!

7. I want these huge letters for my house! Cut big letters out of foam core , spray paint, add lights and you’ve got a great feature for the walls at your wedding day.

8. DIY Chalk board Menu Signs: These are so cute…and so stinking easy to make! All you need to do is find some great mirror s or frames, take out the middle and spray with chalk board spray paint (YES!! They have this!! Its so stinking easy too!!) , then spray the frames a color that matches your wedding. I love that you can use these all around your house when you are done using them for your wedding.

9. DIY Chalkboard Tin Table Numbers: Start collecting tins from the goodwill or garage sales and start spray painting! These would be super cute gift boxes for bridesmaids as well!

10. DIY Spray Painted Letters: Just another thing you can do to pick up at Hobby Lobby and spray paint in gold, silver or a color that goes with your theme…and these would be super cute on your mantle after the wedding. I have just a few E’s floating around my house.

11. DIY Spray Painted Pop Cans! I can’t even tell you just how much these made me happy when I saw them! These spray painted cans for the getaway car a cute and are so fun for pictures!! I love that they are connected to the car with real ribbon as well.

Lauren & Dan. Oh man. These two are just full of fun! They are gracious, laid back and ready to party. I loved the coral, burlap and orange of this fun wedding. We had a blast with these two and their crazy friends and family.
Hidden Meadows was a perfect venue for their wedding! It was a lovely day!
This guy really sells the Gold Bond!
These incredible shoes are so…so…blingy! I mean…how could you not just love these shoes!
I loved these ombre wine glasses that Lauren glittered for her girls! What a cute idea!
Dan presented Lauren with the cutest gold LOVE band….it was so perfect! 
I just loved it when grooms where good socks….or anything other than black! It just makes my day!
These two just wouldn’t stop laughing….i loved it!

In my 9 years of wedding photography, I’ve never seen so many large, football line backers rippin up the dance floor! These guys can dance…and they aren’t afraid to do the worm. Loved this!

Awe!! Danielle and Ryan…another eharmony couple. Man, I sure do love when my clients fall in love via online dating. Somehow they just really fit together…like they were made to find each other or something. :) These two fit together so nicely, like peanut butter and jelly.
This dress just knocked me off my feet, when I walked in the bridal suite and saw it. It is one of my favorites that From the Gown Up carries. I loved it so much that before I met Danielle…I had all ready done a styled shoot with it. During our first consultation, Danielle had to hold it together and try to to scream….”THATS MY DRESS!!” when she saw it in a coffee table book….as to not tip off her man on what her wedding gown looked like! It was the perfect dress for Danielle. Its modern, but still has a lovely vintage vibe to it. We nicknamed it the cupcake dress…and it will forever be that in my mind!
What a gorgeous ring!
Awe…another tear jerker! I love watching the faces of the bride’s mom when dad walks in! There is something so stinking special about it. You can really see the love.
No wonder these two were giddy all day long….its in their genes! I love seeing siblings who enjoy being around each other! So much fun.
I just loved this huge white bouquet by Flowers By Tiffany! So amazing!! Not only did it look gorgeous, it smelled soooo good!!
This ceremony was held in the most enchanting little forest at Twin Willow Gardens. Seriously…it was cool and relaxed in there…and I know the guests were so thankful to get a little shade. It felt like we were in the middle of no where…I loved it!
Honestly…Danielle and Ryan both had a grin on their face the whole day! Thats the way a bride and groom should be!
I just died over these little glittered birdy cake toppers! So stinking cute!
The grounds at Twin Willow Gardens was so lovely and full of flowers, color and beautiful landscape! I loved this place to much! If you are getting married here….I want to shoot it!
Oh man…during the Anniversary Dance….Zerlinda, the wedding coordinator, and I pretty much lost it! These two snuggled up close, just made me so excited to be married as long as they are…and still want to snuggle up and dance.
If you are having a fun glittery, DIY wedding like this one, I would love to be a part of it! I love shooting the fun details that you work so hard on….cuz i just love those details too!
