Hey! Save The Date!

This was a fun project to take on :) We wanted to take some engagement photos for our Save The Dates. We've seen lots of inspiration on Pinterest, and we were lucky enough to have our friend Sarah take the photos for us. If you have a friend or family member who's good at photography (or enjoys taking photos), ask them to take your engagement pictures. It saves you money and you don't have to be gushy in front of a stranger. Jesse and I found it so much more comfortable to have Sarah capture our photos. She was also the one who captured the pictures of Jesse proposing. 

We took our photos out at Point Lobos, in Pacific Grove. I had been on this one trail once before and remembered how pretty it was! Turns out it was the perfect place for our pictures! We found it was very difficult to pic the one we wanted to use for our Save the Date. 

Here are the other contenders we were thinking about using:

And here's the official picture we chose, edited for the Save the Dates and everything!

We used the Triforce font, which can be found here: http://www.dafont.com/triforce.font

The goal was to capture our dorkiness, along with being cute. I think we did a good job!

We used vistaprint to create postcards (about $20 for 50) that we could send out to our families. It was an affordable way to do something we thought was more practical than putting them into envelopes. We're saving that for the invitations. The best part about using vistaprint was that we could upload our own image to the front and back of the postcard.
