engagement photos!

so last weekend, steven's parents shot a few hundred photos of us (just shy of 700, actually).

we took them at this beautiful marriott villa resort they stayed at in newport beach.

way to go, hoppers!

{ps, these haven't been touched up yet, but they look fabulous! and they look a lot better on their nice computer screens than on blogger's shrunken file version.}

here are just a few.

my favorite one isn't up yet. {think pinching, brett. or the missing head.}

 since steven proposed to me while flying kites, i thought it'd be fun for us to be flying kites in our engagement photos.  so, i made this beautiful kite.  but then...it was two layers of home fabric, so it was pretty much unflyable.  but this one is totally cute.  good job, hops.

and you'll find this one in our announcement in the next few days!
