Engagement Pictures

Dustin and I still have not done formal engagement pictures and since both Kari and Kristen love to do this sort of thing, we decided to intertwine some of our activities on Saturday and created photo shoots at each of the stops we went to. This is just a small glimpse into the shoot...we took several hundred pictures!

The first place was actually right on the campus of Portland State University, which is where the Portland Farmers Market is held. We used a couple of different locations to shoot some photos. We got some odd glances from people, which then prompted Kari to yell out, "They're engaged!" so that people knew what we were doing. As you can tell from one of the photos below, I was laughing hysterically. We then went over to the Steel Bridge and got some really cool artistic shots taken. I was a littler nervous (ok, a lot a nervous!) to jump over the fence and play around on the railroad tracks in order to get the photos. But the shots turned out great so I am glad Dustin and Kari convinced me to be a rebel. We then ended the day at the International Rose Gardens. By that time, we were all pretty pooped and burnt out on photos, so we didn't take as many. But, as you can tell from the last photo, Kari decided she wanted to be a part of the fun as well.

I had a great time doing this with Dustin, but also with the girls. Thank you so much, Kari and Kristen for doing this for us! Love you guys.
