Engagement Pictures

This weekend my fiance and I took a weekend getaway to the greatest place on earth, Clemson, SC, for our engagement pictures. The weekend earns a solid A- on the fun scale and could have only been improved if I hadn't had so much homework to deal with. Tailgating, football, lake, and boozes on Saturday then Blueberry muffins and engagement pictures on Sunday.

I'm lucky that one of my best friends, Adam, was a Graphic Communications major at Clemson and is a photo superstar. For background this is the same guy that hid up in a tree for two hours so he could get pictures of the proposal. After we saw how those turned out we started begging him to do our engagement photos. Two reasons, he is that good and we're pretty broke. Lucky for us Adam had already planned on offering up his services as a wedding gift so it all worked out. 

Taking the pictures was great. We're all good friends so we screwed around the whole time and had a really good time with it. Favorite moment might have been when my fiance discovered a tree that had actually grown a sack with two balls and wanted me to take a picture with it (awaiting photo). 

Since that time my fiance has asked me everyday when our pictures were going to be ready - apparently girls love this shit. Lucky for her Adam is a known procrastinator when it comes to Physics and Chemistry, his last two classes to graduate from Clemson, both are on their third round. As a result of him putting off his real work he did up a couple photos as a preview of what was coming.
"You guys look like f-ing J. Crew models on safari or something." 

All rights reserved on both photos to Adam Peake.

Poor Adam has no idea the beast he has now unleashed. Like a junkie after their last high, Lorelei is now chasing after the rest of the pictures with more fervor than ever before. I only pray that I can hold her back long enough for him to finish them all. 

...And to answer your questions yes, she is that good looking. No, I didn't trick her in to this relationship.
