Much thanks need to go out to our very good friend L, she of the photo-journalistic tendencies, for going with The Girl and I this past Sunday to take some engagement pictures. I really wasn’t feeling very good about myself on Sunday, hungover after a typical Rebel football Saturday, and really feeling like I just wanted to curl up on the couch and sleep my way through until Monday. We were going to take ‘a few’ pictures, and ended up with upwards of 700, but after seeing the finished product I’m so glad we did it, and I’m glad that L was taking the pictures. She helped pull us out of our initial awkwardness a bit faster than a stranger would have, and she had no problems giving us direction, and coming up with great ideas, and you can really see the care, and the love that she put into the finished product, and for that, The Girl and I will have to spend the rest of our lives trying to find a way to thank her, because these pictures are something that we’ll keep with us for the rest of our lives, and that’s priceless.

The picture above is one of my favorites of those that L has shown us so far. All in all, as per usual, The Girl looks much better in most of them than I do, but I’m alright with the idea that I’m the one marrying up. View the full set here, and thanks again to L for such a fun afternoon, and such a wonderful gift.
