Rules of Engagement (Photos)

My beautiful friend, Suzy and her fiance Ryan just got their engagement photos taken yesterday by our old friend, Danille Almond, from Almond Photography. Here’s how Sue got her look just right!

Rule 1. Stalk Pinterest for outfit inspiration source

Rule 2. Have a friend repeat rule 1 (the more the merrier) source

Rule 3. Text several outfit and jewelry choices to friends 

Rule 4. Ask your best friend to come over and help beautify you (and take pics of you with your mom)

Rule 5. Pay a movie theater to feature your names on their bulletin board

Rule 6. Snuggle in a field with the love of your life! source
