Paris, France Engagement – Nancy & Bertrand

Much like fish and chips in London or milk and cookies in the United States, the same can be said for love and Paris. How can you think of one and not the other? Paris IS the city of love after all. The city is filled with romance from its beautiful city streets and stunning architecture to its music and food. And it’s here, in Paris, that Nancy and Bertrand fell in love.

Nancy, who’s originally from the U.S., and Bertrand, who’s originally from Paris, make an adorable couple! Their cultured and worldly backgrounds make them a great match. Nancy’s experience in France also makes her one of Paris’s best wedding planners for foreigners. Catering to non-French natives, Fete in France, helps couples plan and execute memorable wedding ceremonies in France.

New York City Engagement Photos: Christina & Stuart

So you’re sitting at a bar and you’re hanging out with your friends when a very attractive guy/girl walks into the room. You say to yourself (with an old English accent, of course), “Be still my beating heart, for one day he/she will be my husband/wife.” That’s how Christina and Stuart met, in a nutshell, and maybe with a little less Shakespearean drama. It was a modern day version of “love at first sight” that continued into chatting the night away until the sun came up. This is the kind of love that great novels or plays are made of.

London Engagement Shoot: Helena & Adam

You probably hear the phrase, “made for each other” or “they’re perfect together.” Yes, they both apply to Helena and Adam, but to say either would be an understatement for them. Their chemistry and love are beyond perfect. I cannot even articulate it. And having had the opportunity to spend an afternoon of photos and evening following by hours of meandering, sordid conversation, dinner, and drinks, they are definitely one of my favorite fun couples. They are such a fun whimsical and light-hearted couple that know how to live life and not take it too seriously! I mean, just look the photo of them with Mickey and Minnie! And not even the London rain could dampen their spirits.

London Engagement Shoot: Maria & Joe

On a cold and brisk Saturday afternoon in Central London, Maria and Joe braved the elements for their engagement shoot. They fought bumper to bumper traffic and temps near 40 degrees F and still managed to be fun and cheerful at their engagement session. Rolling with punches and making the most of any situation-that’s just who they are. Lovers from two different countries, Maria from the United States and Joe from the UK, it’s easy to see why their relationship is so strong.

engagement shoot finalists – kristyn & christopher

Time to meet our next engagement shoot contest finalists Kristyn and Christopher! Kristyn and Christopher both love craft beer and want to be photographed at a Long Island brewery brewing beer, tasting beer, and picking hops/grains/ingredients. Don’t you just love couples who share hobbies together? To vote for Kristyn and Christopher simply click here and write their names on the post in the comments section. Please only one vote per reader.

Be sure to check back in with us this week to read more about our last finalists. We will feature each couple throughout the voting period, which ends Sunday, March 11. And don’t forget! Our winner will be announced Thursday, March 15!


*Photography in this post is not the work of Esvy Photography and was provided to Esvy by Kristyn and Christopher.

How did you and your fiance meet?

Ironically, Chris’s best friend, Brian, and my best friend, Lauren, were going to school together at NYIT and were in the same classes studying physical therapy. When they went out to celebrate the end of their fall semester, they each invited us along. Chris always says that he noticed me from across the bar. He was involved in a sports conversation when he thought I was looking at him. So he left the guys to come join my conversation. It turns out I really was just looking out the window, not at him, but he had my attention now. Eventually it was just the two of us who talked the rest of the night. We exchanged numbers and planned to meet for lunch in NYC because as it turned out, we worked a half block away from each other. A few days later we went out to lunch at what my coworkers affectionately called the “dirty deli” and the rest is history.

How did he propose?

Sometime in October, Chris had asked me if we could go to Rehoboth Beach, DE for his birthday and visit his favorite brewery Dogfish Head. That same weekend was also homecoming at my alma mater, the University of Delaware, in Newark so I happily said “of course.” We had planned to spend Chris’ birthday starting the day by watching the sunrise and then visiting the brewery and local shore shops. Chris was really eager to see the sunrise since he wanted to “see the sun rise in the east” and “set in the west” since we would be on the east coast (Delaware) for his birthday and then the west coast (California) for vacation a couple weeks later. So, on Monday, November 14, Chris’ birthday, Chris woke me up to see the sunrise.

I was going to go in my pajamas but when I saw Chris fully dressed and ready at 6am, I changed with his encouragement. We then walked to the beach and Chris laid out a blanket for us to sit on. As the sun rose, we took pictures of each other with the sunrise and then while I was standing for a picture, Chris got down on one knee and reached for his pocket. I said, “yes” without Chris even saying a word (he was shaking so much). Chris then said something but those words are lost in time to the both of us. I really should have known it was coming since there was a photographer on the beach at 6:30 in the morning on a cold, windy day but I really thought he was there to photograph the sunrise! Chris actually hired him to capture the moment.

Why should readers vote for your idea?

Doing a photography shoot combining love and beer doesn’t sound like a “wedding” but weddings aren’t about being like everyone else. They don’t all have to have the same elements, involve all the elegance and class, or be conventional. With weddings today being about things a couple have a common interest in like boats, movies and music, why not have an engagement shoot about beer. I’ve never seen an engagement shoot about beer or at a brewery so it would be unique, new, creative, interesting and challenging (but who’s not up for a challenge!). Chris and I have traveled the country visiting breweries and some have better architecture than museums with vibrant history painted in murals on walls and equipment dating back to when our country’s ancestors were only traveling here. We’ve tasted hundreds (maybe thousands of beers), each with it’s own sense of style and creativity. We’ve meet hundreds of brewers all demonstrating passion for their beer and the beer community. It’s with the beer community’s style, creativity and passion that Chris and I will make one amazing engagement photo shoot. People should vote for us to see something different, encourage individuality in weddings and give Esvy Photographers something they’ve never done before.

engagement shoot finalists – lindsay & jason

Please meet our next engagement shoot contest finalists Lindsay and Jason! Lindsay and Jason are hoping to show their love for each other and for sailing in the their engagement photographs. They’d liked their shoot to be at the yacht club where Lindsay first learned to sail. Doesn’t this playful concept on the water sound fun? To vote for Lindsay and Jason simply click here and write their names on the post in the comments section. Please only one vote per reader.

Be sure to check back in with us throughout the rest of February and early March to read more about our other finalists. We will feature each couple throughout the voting period, which ends Sunday, March 11. And don’t forget! Our winner will be announced Thursday, March 15!

*Photography in this post is not the work of Esvy Photography and was provided to Esvy by Lindsay and Jason.

How did you and your fiance meet?

Remember good old AOL Instant Messenger (AIM)? Well, in college, I used AIM to communicate with my friends and sailing teammates religiously. Jason and I had had a few passing flirtations on and off the water during sailing practice, but nothing more. One day he accidentally left some sailing gear in the back of my car, and I messaged him to come get it. The next day, some of my roommates made Diet Coke cake (a box of Betty Crocker yellow cake mix + 1 can of Diet Coke = surprising goodness). I of course put up an AIM status about the Diet Coke cake, and Jason, who lived nearby, boldly asked if he could come pick up his gear and try the cake. I of course said yes, as I thought he was super cute! We ended up chatting all afternoon, skipping all our classes, and finding a million things that we had in common. A few nights later at a Hawaiian-themed fraternity party, he finally made a move…and the rest is history.

How did he propose?

Jason proposed at our apartment, in bed on a Sunday morning…ring-less. I didn’t believe him at first, when he asked me to marry him. But then I saw the serious and anxious look on his face and suddenly realized it was real and burst into tears. The rest of the day was spent crying, laughing, and double checking that he was still serious. We designed my ring together and it was made by my a close friend (and bridesmaid)’s father in law, which was extra special. All I l know is, 7.5 years was worth the wait!

Why should readers vote for your idea?

We both want to win this gift so badly. And in all honesty, if we don’t win this, we probably won’t do engagement photos. I secretly have been wanting to do an engagement shoot, but feel they’re typically so STIFF looking… and when I saw this contest, and the fact it was all about a different, fun & original ideas for a shoot – I suddenly REALLY wanted to do one! Because that’s us – we’re fun and original, and I need a photographer who can bring that out in each of us when we’re in front of the camera. Looking at Esvy’s style and portfolios, I think if we win this contest we’d be able to capture some truly memorable photos that show who we are, together.

engagement shoot finalists – amanda & ryan

Today begins our feature posts on our five engagement shoot contest finalists. First up, let’s meet Amanda and Ryan! Their engagement shoot idea is flexible. They love 1940s style and hope to capture a feeling of early American glamour or a warm vintage vibe in their photographs. Their proposed shooting locations include Coney Island, an old New York theatre, and the Planting Fields Arboretum. To vote for Amanda and Ryan simply click here and write their names on the post in the comments section. Please only one vote per reader.

Be sure to check back in with us throughout the rest of February and early March to read more about our other finalists. We will feature each couple throughout the voting period, which ends Sunday, March 11. And don’t forget! Our winner will be announced Thursday, March 15!

How did you and your fiance meet?

My fiance and I met through our mutual best friend Cami. We were doing a production of a Motown themed variety show in the spring of 2006. Ryan played trombone and I was a dancer. Our initial meeting was awkward to say the least. Cami, Ryan, and I went out for dinner and he absolutely could not stand me. He later told me he thought I was gorgeous but completely lacked a personality. Turns out the reason I was acting so standoffish, is because I have a huge stomachache! Thankfully he gave me another chance. We began dating in May and would often have picnics in the park. We would talk for hours. That’s when we got to know each other and fell in love.

How did he propose?

Ryan proposed to me on May 18th 2011, exactly five years after that first date. He surprised me that day by showing up and taking me on a beautiful picnic he had planned at a park near my home. He suggested we go for a walk. As we walked over a bridge overlooking the lake he got down on one knee and he asked me if we could spend the rest of our lives together. I said yes. Whether life be a picnic or a storm, we are glad to be going on this journey together as husband and wife.

Why should readers vote for your idea?

I think readers should vote for our idea because I feel so strongly about both the concept of our shoot and my fiance. We have been through so much together these past 5+ years, and I would love to have beautiful photographs capturing our relationship the way we see it, a simple 1940’s kind of love.

Now enough from us! Here are the finalists (in random order)…

Kristyn

My fiance and I have a love of craft beer and have been trying to put together an engagement shoot that would show our love for one another over our love for beer. We would love to be photographed at a Long Island brewery (there are several to choose from!) brewing beer, tasting beer and perhaps picking hops/grains/ingredients (if possible). Not only would a photo shoot covering us at brewery be different but it will definitely be fun! I would love to see Esvy make something that’s creative but messy, glamorous and lovely!

Lindsay

Hello Esvy! I am in love with this contest idea. Here’s my creative engagement shoot concept: My fiancé Jason and I met on our college sailing team and are getting married in Amagansett, NY on Oct 6. In fact, we are getting married at the yacht club where I learned to sail. I’d like to recreate our flirtation on the water by taking out the yacht clubs’ little boats (that I learned to sail on!), donning those silly orange life jackets, and going for a romantic (and humorous) sail together, perhaps at sunset, which is the most beautiful time of day there. The playfulness of the event, and the involvement of the very activity that brought us together, would be a perfect way to capture what we’re all about.

Stuart

Our wedding is meant to invoke the grandeur of The Great Gatsby era. We are not into cheesy flappers and corny gangster 1920′s imagery. Rather we are inspired by the opulence and extravagance of the time. We are getting married at The de Serversky Mansion in Old Westbury which is one of Long Island’s Gold Coast mansions from this era. Our photo shoot should play into these themes. I would love to see pictures of us at prohibition era speakeasy or jazz club. An outdoor shoot on a boardwalk a la Boardwalk Empire could be great too.

Amanda

Hello Esvy Photography, my fiance and I are having a 1940s inspired wedding, complete with vintage entertainment and a brass band. We would love to incorporate that era into our engagement shoot! My love for that time stems from being raised by my grandparents. Old movies were a staple in my childhood television viewing. I fell in love with the glamour as well as the simplicity of the time often portrayed in movies of that era. We would love for our marriage to be like those of our grandparents; a simple 1940s kind of love. That is what we would like to carry through into our engagement shoot. I think what makes my fiance and I unique is our versatility and enthusiasm. We are up for anything! I can envision doing the shoot in a historical locale, like playful Coney Island, or the drama of an old New York theatre. Perhaps even a simple vintage picnic set in the beautiful Planting Fields Arboretum. I would love to incorporate some vintage family heirlooms into the shoot. The great thing about our theme is that it is very versatile. We are willing to go the full fledged “Hollywood Glam” route or the more laid back vintage route. We are confident that these pictures will come out beautifully and really showcase our personalities. Good luck to all the brides and grooms, may the best idea win! Congratulations on your upcoming marriages.

Melissa

My fiance is a NYC firefighter. I would love to do an engagement shoot in the firehouse. We could take pictures on the trucks, dressed up in his gear which has his last name on the back, or even him rescuing me using the big ladder. He is proud of his job and so am I. I think it would be a fun twist for an engagement shoot.
