My Magical Disneyland Engagement Photos

First off, I just need to say as a general disclaimer for anyone wanting to do this - taking engagement photos in Disneyland is not as magical as it seems. There were moments of pure magic, don't get me wrong, but there was also a lot of standing in weird positions, waiting for crowds to clear, very long hours in the summer sun, awkward staring and people blatantly taking our photos like we were celebrities. I could go on forever with the funny stories we have of things people said or would do, and I could also tell you the story of how our tour guide almost got in trouble because we took photos on the Mark Twain and (unknowingly) upset someone, ruining their experience.

But honestly, the best part of it all for me was the way some of the cast members went out of their way to be helpful if we just asked (or sometimes didn't ask at all). On the day we did Fantasyland, we went to the Fantasy Faire first thing since it tends to get very crowded in there. I really wanted photos in the Royal Theatre, but its always roped off when not in use. We found a cast member and asked them if we could get five minutes in there, so she sneaked us in. The pictures were absolutely beautiful, just like I imagined. Then we went to the Rapunzel tower statue and a different cast member, without us ever asking or even expecting it, started to hold people back between shots so we could get our photos more quickly.

And everything turned out so beautifully. I couldn't thank Brittany enough for going through this insane adventure of a week with us, especially after she got food poisoning on day one. It was long, and hard, but so very worth it.

Now for what you've really been waiting for....
