This fantastic engagement photo session shot by Kate Murphy has been a huge inspiration for our upcoming shoot to take place in California.  The groom, Chris, looks alarmingly like my own handsome fiance John and they dress alike too!  I also adore the bride’s attire — the pairing of her bright mustard coat with the polka dot dress is absolute perfection.  The pictures’ editorial edge is just what we’re going for.  Such a modern classic!

P.S. Click the images to zoom — one of the handy new bells and whistles on my site!

    I’m honored to be the first to comment here (I should get off Facebook!). These pictures are very adorable and yes, modern classic. Have you thought about where you’ll be when you take yours? Badge and I had ours shot in January on a 20 degree day…I am really happy with them though. We were at the lake, which was frozen solid and it’s just us and the horizon. :)

    Love her mustard yellow coat!

  3. John says:

    That’s uncanny. Glad to finally find my doppleganger. Maybe we should change our mind again and get married in NY. It makes for such good pictures. Although, the California vineyards won’t be any slouch as a backdrop either.

    Meagan — Your photos sound lovely! Not sure where we’re doing ours yet… We’re city people, but where we’re having them taken in my home town there isn’t much of a city…

    Kirby — I know, isn’t it fabulous?

    John — I LOVE YOU!!! Freaky how much you look alike right? And I think you have that EXACT outfit….too funny. I’m so excited for our pictures!!!! xoxox

  5. These are perfect!! And it’s so cute that John commented!! We take ours at the end of May and I’ve been meaning to gather my inspiration. California will definitely be fun! Have a great weekend Katie!! xoxo

    Kate’s photos remind me a lot of my friend Dave’s photography – he truly is an artiste when it comes to weddings and couple photography. Just check out his online galleries: http://www.daverobbinsphotography.com

    These engagement photographs are just fantastic. I love the contrast of her yellow jacket against his navy blue jacket. It’s so sweet.

  16. What great shots, something they will be able to look back on and smile at as they get older. I love the new zoom feature on your site – cool!

  17. Caroline says:

    Okay this was such a teaser. For a second, I thought it was you guys. Now you have no choice…you must post your pics once you have them!! We never did an engagement session and I so totally wish that we had…such a great way for you guys to get excited, just the two of you, without all of the pressure that goes along with the actual wedding. And in regular clothes!
