Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking engagement photos for my cousin Odessa, and her fiance Tony. Tony and Odessa are planning a vintage carnival themed wedding for February 19th of next year, and I’m super excited to celebrate their special day with them.

Tony and Odessa dated for seven years before getting engaged. Tony asked Odessa to marry him on his birthday this year, a perfect present in my opinion.

The park that we took photos at had a carousel that went along perfect with Tony and Odessa’s wedding theme!

(even though you can’t really see the detail, Odessa’s ring is spectacular (hint, hint Scott!).)

(one of my favorites.)

A little fun with instax:

Tony and Odessa were great sports during this photo shoot, and certainly didn’t let the hot and cold weather get in their way of taking incredibly sweet photos.

I feel like I should ask, do you think Odessa and I look alike? She is my first cousin on my dad’s side, and over the last few months I’ve realized how similar in personality we are (she gets my OCD ways.).

I am honestly so happy for Tony and Odessa, and also for the fact that they asked me to take these special photos for them, photos that they will have to look back on the rest of their life.

Congratulations Tony and Odessa, I love you both very much! Welcome to the family Tony!
