We finally had our engagement photo shoot. It was a much anticipated event; I really wanted to have more recent photographs of us as a couple.  So our time finally came and we set out to Stanford campus with our fantastic photographer Paula Kirkland.

I was a little worried about being a plus size couple and how our photographs would turn out. I assumed it would be hard to capture our loving moments as well as our best sides. After a handful of photos taken I forgot about all that and just started having fun with my fiancé.

I keep having to remind myself that I like the way I look and I am attracted to my fiancé as he is, so why was I putting so much pressure on getting the perfect pictures. The fact is we are not in perfect shape and our pictures will be the real us. The plus size couple in love.  So here is a celebration of our love and our beautiful engagement photo shoot.

My tip for all of you for your engagement photographs is to wear something comfortable as well something you feel beautiful in.  Then go out there shake off the nerves and just have fun together. That’s when the magic will happen.
