Our new blog is up and running.  Please visit:  www.yourexpressivemoments.com/blog to see pictures from the Star 102.1 Dancing with the Stars event or to get more information on our engagement contest.   We are working to get the new blog set up and will no longer be posting on this blog.    Thanks for looking!

More photos from the Star 102.1 Dancing with the Stars event will be posted at www.yourexpressivemoments.com/star.

Getting married?  Engagement photos are a great way to capture some memories in a stress-free way before your “Big Day.”  Engagement pictures should be fun and a way to express who you and your fiance are.  We are looking for the couple with the most unique idea for engagement photos.  Is there a special place where you met?  A favorite past-time you enjoy together?  We want to hear your creative ideas for your engagement session!  Did you meet at a Farmer’s Market?  Do you both like to bike?  Maybe you like to dance and your fiance likes to race cars.  Why not incorporate both?  The more creative, the better!  Check out our website: www.yourexpressivemoments.com.

1. Your name and fiance’s name

2.  Contact number

3.  Wedding date

4. Your idea(s) for a fun engagement session
