Engagement Photos: Dress Contenders

Luna's friend Christina takes amazing photos and we're positive that we want her to take our engagement photos for our Save-The-Dates. Take a look at some pics she took of Luna at a previous shoot:











Pretty amazing, huh?

So, I'm searching for the perfect dress, which must be green (because if you remember, that's what he met me in). The location for the photo shoot will, of course, be Humboldt Park. Take a look at some options I'm looking at. What'cha think?


DRESS #1
Why I like this one: This dress is inspired by one that was worn by Sigourney Weaver. It feels goddess-like with the one sleeve. The details around the bodice are very form fitting. The green hue would look gorgeous with my skin tone.

Worries about this one: I've worn long dresses 3-4 times, with each dress having an opening that show just enough leg. Maxi dresses on a short person tend to make them look even more like midgets... unless the photographer and the model can photograph the right angles (that's my pageant training coming out).

DRESS #2
Why I like this one: This dress was designed based on one that Sarah Jessica Parker wore to the Sex in The City movie premier. It's whimsical and has cute little ruffles at the top. Wearing this, I wouldn't have to worry about being too short

Worries about this one: I may be skinny, but I am Puerto Rican! What's that mean? I have a small waist, generous behind, and decent hips. I'm not wanting to look too wide, and this dress has that potential.


DRESS #3
Why I like this one: I think this one was inspired by Gossip Girl. I like the belt and panels. The little train in the back can be detached.

Worries about this one: Hmmm is it a little old-lady like?








Which Dress Should I Choose
