I LOVE our engagement photos!

We had a lot of fun playing around.


This race helped warm us up in the 40 degree weather.

I like this shot a lot. Just don't look to close because my hands look ashy. (It's from being out in the cold for three hours).

He wanted to spin me around but my crack was showing!

We decided to wear our Barack the Vote t-shirts because we met on an election day.

As New Yorkers, we've got to have the subway shot.

And this is the spot where we met. He came up to me and asked if I liked jazz. Awwww.

So the pictures were taken by our friend Richard Louissaint. Check his blog for more of our pictures. Mr. J's mom was visiting with us for the weekend and was behind the scenes holding our bags. She's such a trooper! We want to get a book done of our favorite photos and get some prints for our families. We're both ecstatic about the photos because they are exactly what we wanted, casual, fun, romantic, and in Brooklyn!

thanks everyone. i can't stop looking at them--i'm assuming that when we have our wedding photos my obsession with looking at US will be even worse.

And you have natural hair! LOVE LOVE LOVE! You have gotten way further than I have. I haven't booked one single thing because I have been overwhelmed by the prices of everything...and I've been engaged since Sept. 2008!
