I recently saw this incredibly gorgeous and completely nautical engagement session over at
grey likes weddings {
right here } and just had to share. After all, the nautical-ness that you are about to see is what
tying the knot is all about.
Sailboats, a wooden dock, buoys, sailing rope and blue skies. You just cannot go wrong.
I am loving the use of oars! The middle shot is just adorable. The couple could display a few of these pictures at their reception and have guests sign an oar instead of the traditional guest book!
Usually it's the bride-to-be's shoes that are featured in the famed "shoe shot." However, these
Sperry Top-Siders totally stole the show {and the shot}!
This straight up nautical session is courtesy of
yuriy manchik, a Seattle-based photographer. The entire engagement session can be seen
right here.
As much as I loved the
nautical-ish engagement photos of ours seeing these makes me wish that we would have taken it one step further and gone all out with a full-blown nautical engagement session!
p.s. A little shout-out to Summer of
grey likes weddings. She always features the best weddings. Reading her blog is a little slice of sunshine everyday.
I love the flattering shape of the dress as well as the neckline options. Not to mention the stunning color!
And did I mention/did you see...the dress has pockets!!! My best friends wedding was last weekend. Our bridesmaids dresses {cobalt blue & seen
