Fiance entered us in a giveaway for a free engagement photoshoot and we were picked as finalists!

It involved writing a story about ourselves. He asked me if I wanted to read it before he submitted it. I said no. The first time I read the story was this morning and I have to say, it is a preeeetty good one. =)

Ringflash II

Issa: Target skirt, necklace from Tokyo, Fifi Lapin shirt from Korea, Made Jewelry bracelet

Me: Forever21 silk tunic, DIY neckace-to-harness

Issa: Express tank, handmade skirt
Dru: Original Penguin shirt

More ringflash photos of our "cheap slut" faces, courtesy of Dru!!!.  Also, I'd like to send a shout out to our anonymous hater.  HOLLA!

After our photoshoot, we came back to the house and played around with Dru's ringflash.  The photos look a lot better against a dark backdrop, i.e., Dru's bed sheet thumb-tacked onto the wall.  After these photos, we checked out a new wine bar close by and had the most amazing house-made headcheese and antelope terrine accompanied by a bottle of Italian wine.  Pretty good night!

I really like the last photo of Issa and Dru.

Yes, I stole the harness idea from Fashiontoast. In my defense, I already owned the necklace. =)
