What should I wear for my spring engagement photos? (2023)

Choosing what to wear for your spring engagement photos can depend on your personal style, the location and theme of the photoshoot, and the weather conditions. Here are some tips to help you decide on the perfect outfit for your spring engagement photos:

1. Consider the location and theme of the photoshoot. If you're taking photos in a garden or park, you may want to wear floral prints or earthy tones that complement the surroundings. If you're taking photos in a city or urban setting, you may want to wear more modern and stylish outfits.

2. Choose colors that complement the season. Soft pastels and light, airy colors are perfect for spring. Think shades of blush, mint green, sky blue, and lavender. You can also mix and match pastel colors to create a cohesive look.

3. Think about layering. Spring weather can be unpredictable, so consider layering with a light jacket, scarf, or cardigan. This will not only keep you comfortable but also add dimension to your outfit.

4. Dress up a little. Engagement photos are a special occasion, so it's okay to dress up a little more than you would on a typical day. Consider wearing a dress or a nice blouse with dress pants or a skirt.

5. Coordinate with your partner. You and your partner don't have to match exactly, but coordinating your outfits can create a cohesive and stylish look. Consider choosing complementary colors or patterns that work well together.

Remember, the most important thing is to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. If you're not sure what to wear, you can always ask your photographer for advice or inspiration.

Should I use Wedding Wire?

is wedding wire and the knot worth it?

Wedding Wire is a popular online platform that offers tools and resources for wedding planning, including vendor listings, reviews, and planning tools. While many couples have found it helpful in their wedding planning journey, there are some potential downsides to using the platform that you may want to consider before deciding to use it.

One concern is that some vendors on Wedding Wire have been known to pay for fake positive reviews, which can be misleading for couples looking for reliable feedback. Additionally, Wedding Wire has faced criticism in the past for its advertising practices, with some vendors alleging that the company prioritizes vendors who pay for premium listings over those who don't.

Another potential drawback of using Wedding Wire is that it may limit your options when it comes to finding vendors. While the platform has a large number of vendors listed, it may not include all of the options available in your area.

Ultimately, whether or not you decide to use Wedding Wire is a personal choice. It's important to do your research and read reviews from multiple sources to get a well-rounded sense of a vendor's reputation. You may also want to consider reaching out to vendors directly to ask for references or to schedule a consultation to get a better sense of their services and pricing.

Dom’s 35th Surprise Party

Event photography @ Rails Steak House Towaco, NJ

Lamide and Dom both have birthdays that are within a few days of each other. For everyone that knows Lamide, she loves to plan events.

This was one for the books. She rented out the Speakeasy and Rails Steakhouse, which is connected to the Towaco Station off the NJ transit.

I had no idea what I was walking into. My wife said it was “Grown, no sneakers". So I put my nicest floral shirt on and swapped my joggers for regular pants. Then she walks out in a silky gold dress, looking like the first lady. I think that I might have downplayed her expectations.

We get to the venue and they inform us to take the elevator down to the basement. Waiting for us inside, is someone to guide us through a series of secret doors that enter the speakeasy. This was definitely not the average private room in a restaurant.

We enjoyed 5 courses that night. During cocktail hour, we waited for Lamide and Dom to arrive. It was Lamide’s birthday, but we were also surprising and celebrating Dom's 35th. The hors d'oeuvres were getting pumped out at a rapid concession. I've been to plenty of cocktails, but never have I been offered so much food so quickly.

After the birthday surprise, we began enjoying our next 4 courses. Lamide lead us with instructions on an ice breaking game for a cash prize, where we are to write the names of people that fit the descriptions on a list.

The courses were high end. Everything was really well crafted, but I think that's to be expected from such a luxurious establishment. And it also extended to the service as well. If you walked away from your table, they refold your napkin immediately after you leave. They also never let your water cup empty. I'm a heavy duty water chugger, and the aquatic ninjas that they hire is beyond me.

Which bridges to when I had to use the restroom. Leaving the room was a bit of a challenge. There was a proximity sensor on the door, and I was unaware of this because of how dark it was. Once I was through I almost broke the emergency glass thinking I was in some sort of escape room. I'm glad that I didn't though, as it was real and the gate just simply pushes open. At one point Dom and I had pulled every book on the bookshelf with little success only to find it was a hidden doorbell. The puzzling nature of the place was alot of fun.

The food was phenomenal. I've heard that you can judge a place by it's calamari and it was the second appetizer. It was damn good. I comideering the entire plate from one of Dom's cousins seated next to me, who had a culinary degree. I ended up picking his brain for the better half of the evening.

Lamide had a series of games planned, and the night concluded in some impromptu karaoke. It was a wonderful evening, with wonderful people. I always appreciate when Lamide and Dom invite us to their parties and I wish both of them plenty of good fortune on this next trip around the sun.
