Our Big Day: Engagement Pictures

I am so excited to be starting a week long recap of the best day of my life.  A year ago today, it was the eve of our wedding.  I was busy prepping and making last minute adjustments, rehearsing, and partaking in a little fellowship with friends and family.  I look back and am surprised by how calm and collected I was, and just ready to spend the rest of my life with my love.

After Bradley proposed, I remember making a priority list for the big day.  Photography was on the top of that list.  It was imperative that I had a wonderful photographer to capture the memories that would be made.  I took one look at a few pictures from a fellow college student and knew at that moment who I wanted.  Abby Funderburk, owner of Abby Funderburk Photography, has an indescribable eye for unique and beautiful photography. She lived up to every expectation I had from engagement pictures to bridal portraits and full day wedding coverage.

I am pleased to start off the week of recaps with a few from our engagement shoot taken downtown Charleston in July of 2010.  We had a blast roaming the streets with talented Abby.

We started the afternoon at Peninsula Grill- the very place we got engaged.

Then, found our way to the corner of Market and Meeting Street.

We found some beautiful flowers....

...and even the perfect alley!

(this one is hanging in our bedroom as a canvas...LOVE)

The fountain was the perfect spot for our announcement photo.

My gorgeous ring!

I am linking up with Rachel at Just a Touch of Gray for the start of Ultimate Wedding Week!
