Freewheelin’ Freelovin’

I’m a huge Bob Dylan fan (who isn’t?!) so when I spotted these invites and posters on Ruffled that are inspired by his Freewheelin’ album I knew I had to re-share this awesomeness. Not only was this couple’s engagement session based on the album, but Josh proposed to Barb by singing one of Dylan’s songs – omg how cute is that?! The folks behind the scenes definitely deserve some praise: Chad Pickett (the designer) and Maia of Toast Photography, helped make Josh and Barb’s vision come to life.

Maia adds:
The whole theme of their engagement session was around Bob Dylan, specifically The Freewheelin’ cover. Bob Dylan and Suze had a dynamic relationship, as is the case of Josh and Barb. He proposed to her on thanksgiving, surrounded by their “family”; aka, friends, and as the circle was coming around on all friends discussing what they are thankful for, Josh started reciting a song from Bob Dylan before getting down on his knees and proposing to Barb, that she was what made me love this song out of them all. They truly are an amazing couple, and you can see it in the photographs. The concept of the engagement photo were on two specific concepts, Bob Dylan and the late nights they spent at cafe’s getting to know one another when they first started dating. The Freewheelin’ photoshoot came together brilliantly from their wardrobe, the album cover itself, and the random found blue VW bus I saw in the location we were shooting. The owner was kind enough to unlock the car to let us shoot in!
