Non-gagement Photos

The boy and I aren't taking engagement photos. But are you really that surprised by that considering this is what he tries to do to all our photos.
But even so it was a surprise to me. "We have to take engagement photos," I told him, "We need them for our save the dates." So what did the boy do, he googled save-the-dates. "I found hundreds of different save-the-dates that don't include photos. It doesn't look like they're required."

So basically I lost that fight. After having the same discussion for several weeks we did at least come to a compromise. The boy agreed to take a single photo that we could use. Basically he wanted me to find a single pose, and make that one photo work. Which meant we could have a photo on our STDs, but no photoshoot.

Since we're not taking an engagement shoot the rest of this post is pretty ridiculous, but even so I thought it would be fun to share inspiration for the photoshot that could have been.

First I'd want to take photos at LSU which is where the boy and I met, something similar to Mrs. Cheeseburger's own engagement shoot at Penn State, where she met her husband.

sourceAs for the places we'd use, the first picture I shared of the boy and I was taken at a football game at Tiger Stadium, the same place as this.

sourceSeriously, how amazing would it be to take photos on the field like this couple, or even instead at Alex Box Stadium. (Sadly it doesn't look like anyways taken photos on the field there, or at least none that I can find. So you'll have to settle of this photo I took of the field itself.)
I'd also love to go back and take photos inside the classroom where we first met. Mrs. Sunbeam had a similar idea, except she took photos the morning of her wedding and this is at their high school instead.

sourceFor one final photo, we're back at LSU on the quad outside the library.

sourceThe boy and I used to spend our time between classes sitting on those benches talking, and it doesn't hurt that it's an awfully pretty location either.

Are you taking engagement photos, or are you like us instead? And if you could take an engagement photo session anywhere, where would you choose?
