Engagement
Eyes Wide Shut
“This is one of the many awkward engagement photos my fiance and i took. The photographer directed us to close our eyes and look relaxed. My fiance nailed it… actually, I think he fell asleep.”

Garden Of Eden
“This photo has it all when it comes to awkward engagement photos. My husband and I were 19 at the time of the photo and I was still a bit rebellious. My dad was paying for the wedding (including the engagement photos) and I seized the opportunity to show him how grown up I was. I was attempting an artistic Garden of Eden which even included my pet python, Merlin. I frantically purchased fake flowers the day of the photo shoot because I was inspired to make the photo more authentic. After our traditional engagement photos, we took our clothes off and tried some alternate poses. When we got our proofs back, we showed them to my family at my birthday dinner. My grandma screamed, “OH MY GOD!” and I started crying and ran to the car where soon-to-be husband yelled, “Well, what did you expect!?!”

‘Til Death
“Yes, this is my engagement picture. We thought it would be cute meaning ’til death do us part, but everyone thought it meant our love was already dead.”

A Pile Of Mulch
“This is a photo of me and my husband when we were dating. Caleb and his twin brother spent the summer living with my family while we (including another sister) worked at a camp. On one gloriously restful weekend, Caleb and I, already dressed in weird brown matching outfits, somehow ended up posing with a huge pile of mulch that my dad was getting ready to use in the backyard.”
