I have been working on this shoot since March, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t get a little emotional when the day finally arrived. These are my absolute favorite types of shoots as they not only give me a chance to work with some of my industry favorite vendors but also work with my own timeline and shooting something completely different than what I usually do and hopefully, inspiring my future brides with new ideas for their own wedding.
I was truly amazing and honored with the caliber of talent I had working on this project with me and not to mention the perfect models, Anna and Eric. They were one of my couples from last year and I 100% fell in love with them right away. It wasn’t because they wanted to do all of their pictures outside and really wanted different pictures, or because they suggested a location that I had always wanted to shoot at, or because they are two of the nicest people you will ever meet… it was because of the way that Eric looked at Anna. He loves her with all of his might, and the amazing thing is, that almost a year after their wedding, he still looks at her the same way. He knows he is the luckiest guy on the planet.
It was unfortunate on their wedding day that it was FREEZING out and raining and just not ideal weather to be out in, so this was a great way to make up some of those outdoor shots they wanted!
Not only a HUGE thank you to them, but to all of the vendors involved for believing in the concept and agreeing to help out… I couldn’t have done any of this without you!
