I am so in love with these engagement photos (yes I am a bridesmaid, but no I am not biased)! I love it when a photographer can capture a person - even more so when they capture a relationship perfectly. This photographer did just that -- these are the perfect most beautiful representation of Lauren & Eric. I am way impressed and way in awe of Skip Hopkins, the man behind the photos. I'm thinking maybe I need some engagement shots (yes I've been married 3 years, but no I don't think that matters). Check out Skip's blog and portfolio & I'm sure you'll be blown away. I'm just sad that Nashville will be loosing him to LA at the end of the summer.

Love you Lala! You are beautiful & I can't wait for 8/7/10!

    These photos are so lovely! They remind me of that scene in The Notebook, where Noah and Ally were caught in the boat when it started pouring rain!

    These photos are amazing. I love how natural they are. And the ones of them in that boat are so simple and sweet. Definitely one of the best engagement shoots I've ever seen.
