Engagement Pic Inspiration

Convincing Andrew that engagement pictures are a necessity is hard work! He knows he is taking them, but he is pretty convinced he will be miserable. While I have yet to figure out a location, I know I want to go outdoors. I was inspired by this from our lovely photographer, Lindsay Perry.

Andrew is not a Texans fan, but he IS a football fan. A lifelong (raised in Brooklyn) New York Giants fan. So, I thought incorporating his love into our pics might be some nice motivation. Plus, I promised him that if our photographer says the pictures will be okay, he can wear a baseball hat for them. Without even trying, I found this perfect Giants shirt at Old Navy a few weeks ago.

Did I mention it was only 20 bucks? They have other teams, too.

I had to find a cute, vintage-y Giants shirt for myself. Luckily, we ordered a Giants jersey for Andrew's dad last Christmas, so the NFL Shop catalog comes to my house. On or around September 18th, I will have this to sport every Sunday.

I found a coupon code, so Andrew took it upon himself to order a new Giants hat :). I hope the blues coordinate well- I hate red Giants merchandise, and I thought G-Men blue was a must for the pics. Andrew told his dad about this, and he fully supports his future daughter-in-law trying hard to become a fan. I only hope Andrew is as supportive when I insist on a new, cute outfit for the pics!

What will you do to get your groom interested in e-pics? Did you buy anything special for the occasion?
