by: We love to feature engagement sessions! And here's why ... it's incredibly fun to showcase how MagnetStreet couples are personalizing their Save the Dates! From fab color changes and extraordinary photography, to romantic and clever quips, it's more fun than you know to show off each and every unique wedding style. Often times, couples use photography from their engagement sessions on their Save the Dates. Ashley and Aaron got our attention with their hilarious save the date photo.
Enjoy the story behind why Ashley and Aaron chose a golf course and two different universities for their e-session locations. Plus, they're a super cute couple--saving the date for November 17, 2012.

Save the Date Magnet: MagnetStreet Weddings
Ashley & Aaron personalized "Devoted" Save the Date Magnet design.
When we asked about the significance of their engagement locations, this is what Ashley & Aaron had to say:
Ashley played golf at Texas Tech (couldn't do a shoot there), but got her Master's at OU. Aaron got his degree at OSU. Since we both played golf, granted Ashley actually plays golf well, it was only natural that we used a golf course as a backdrop. As for the schools, although we weren't in school when we met, each place provided a foundation for the people that we've become. Did I mention that coincidentally, OSU and Texas Tech are playing football on the date we've picked to get married? Honestly, it was pure coincidence.
Vendor Shout Out
Meghann Jaline Photography
Meghann was phenomenal. She is starting to really grow her photography and came locked with many great ideas. She's the one that came up with the idea for the infamous sand shot. We received countless praise for our save the dates. It only took 3 tries to get the sand shot to work. If there were any more, I would be taking half of the golf course home with me in my shirt. Meghann was great at coming up with ideas and coaching us through the posing and reassuring us that the awkward positions looked phenomenal through the lens.
Mandy French Photographer
Mandy is a co-worker who has taken on photography as a hobby and stress reliever. After paying for many photo sessions of her new born, Grady, she needed to pick up photography. Needing practice on someone that wasn't 6 months old, she sought out volunteers to which Ashley very quickly accepted. Being an OU grad as well, Mandy knew the ideal photo backdrops for our session and was able to piggy back off of the "training" that Meghann had given Ashley and myself on how to pose for the photo.
MagnetStreet Weddings
MagnetStreet was very fast, professional, and exceeded all of our expectations. For the price that was advertised, we had our reservations as to the quality that we would be receiving. After the package we received (on time as promised), we were blown away with the detail, quality, and care that went into our order. I feel bad for ever having any doubts.
Thanks Aaron and Ashley for sharing your style, story and engagement session with all of us! Congratulations on your engagement and we wish you the best of everything as you plan your wedding and life together!
