EPIC E-PICS

Did you know renting linens (and chairs) cost an arm and leg?  Oh oh, so advice of the day... ELOPE.  If you can't or are unwilling to, find a place that provides linens and chairs.


Anyway...


I am here to elicit more e-pic session ideas!  Since last time y'all weren't very helpful with thinking outside the box...  (Sorry Penga, hippee costumes in GGPark didn't make the cut)  :oP

So the other day I realized if you take out the dash in e-pics (engagement pictures), you get EPICS?  You know... like lots of epic.  :-P  And like I mentioned in this post about wanting to do something interesting and unique for them...  they shall be EPIC E-PICS!  :-D  (Can you see what Tim puts up with?)

On a sidenote, here is a cool article from Herman Au on how to "make the most of your engagement: what to wear."  Good tips, and one of his best shoots to date, I think.

Still don't know what we'll be doing.  We could go with the classic e-shoot with the poses and smiles.  We could do an activity, but I don't know what.  (I feel like they should maybe be activities that we do together.)  Here are my ideas so far...

A picnic!  Like Bee from BP Wedding's e-shoot.  (Source)

Or we could read to each other like this couple...  (Source)

Wouldn't a "pretend" picnic be so cute?!  It would be "pretend" because... Tim and I have never actually been on a picnic.  haha.  I've been talking about it for YEARS, but we just haven't been on one yet.  It could be that I have a tendency to bring them up in the midst of winter.  :oP

Row row row your boat...  (Source)

Since we were thinking of doing the shoot at Golden Gate Park (good variety, yeah?) you can rent paddleboats or rowboats at Stow Lake.  Tim and I have also never been in a boat together, but it could be CUTE yeah?  :-P  I've rented a paddleboat many times but never a rowboat since it looks like so much work.  But Tim would do the rowing right?  But then I feel like I'd need one of those sun hats that would be very Anne of Green Gables/Pride & Prejudice-esque.  :]  But THEN... we might have to rent a paddleboat for Herman to follow behind so he can get the shots since I don't think it'd be the same... from the shore?  Maybe that would work.  Anyway, it'd probably be easier to rent a paddleboat instead of a rowboat but... Gilbert Blythe didn't use a paddleboat.  :oP

Cuuuutes.  Yeah.  I know this isn't a picture of him in a rowboat.  But.  There is water.  (Source)

So crew, whatcha say?  Lets hear your brilliant ideas!
