Elegant Lanterns

I love the beautiful curves and spikes of the iron work. 

I first fell in love with these wrought-iron lanterns when I saw a line drawing of them on my library card as a child. When I was old enough to go to Copley on my own (around middle school), I was absolutely giddy when I saw them in-person at the Boston Public Library. All those years, these lanterns were just a simple drawing to me. I didn't realize they actually existed. When I saw them, I kept on thinking "Oh my goodness! Those are the lanterns on my library card! They're real!". It was a special moment for me. So whenever I see these beautiful lanterns, I always think of my library card and can't help but feel happy :)

My beloved library card. I don't have my first one but this one is at least 13 years old! (I'm such a hoarder lol)

Another look at these lanterns from our engagement shoot ♥

Love's In The Air

I am so excited to share our engagement photos! We had such a fun time taking them all thanks to our wonderful photographer Ned :) As you know, photos are extremely important to me. The first thing I did after we got engaged was to look for a photographer. The search was quite daunting. I must have looked at a hundred websites before I found Ned's. Once I saw his blog, I knew. His photos are so natural and simply beautiful. He captures all the joys and emotions of the day and it makes me feel like I was there. I contacted him at the end of 2010 and meeting him was truly icing on the cake. He is so nice! We met up again last month (I can't believe it has been over a year!) at the Boston Public Library to do our engagement session. Ned did an amazing job (Thank you!!!). Here are some of my favorites. (Please excuse all the lovey-doviness ahead hehe.)

James and I love this library. We went there all the time during high school :)

I love the green lamps and architecture of this room.
