Love Shoot: Heather & Eric

While I understand why a couple might want to have engagement photos for themselves, I had never seen any that really stood out to me (though I do love this idea). At least not until Samuel Lippke emailed me with these photos from Heather and Eric's gorgeous engagement shoot. Since this month has a fifth Monday in it, I get to post an extra Monday Miscellany today, and this seemed like the perfect thing to share with you.

Heather is an assistant for Trina Turk, and Eric is a painter, art curator, and DJ. Before their engagement shoot, Samuel spoke with them and suggested doing something a little different - something unique and artistic that reflected who they are. The spring shoot took place at their friends' ranch in Fallbrook, California. Items such as an antique dress, a parasol and a tripod helped to create a timeless story of a couple in love.

So without further ado, I hope you enjoy these as I much as I did...













































A huge thank you to Samuel Lippke for sending these photos to me, and congratulations to Heather and Eric! Maybe we'll get to see some photos from your recent wedding...

On a personal note, as I was in the middle of getting this post ready, my dear sweet friend Elizabeth called me to share her good news - she's engaged! Congratulations Elizabeth - I love you and could not be happier!
