Over 4th of July weekend I had another AMAZING friend associate shoot here on the island. Cherry Thomas.. a dear and amazing photographer has made a pact with herself that she will come photograph on the island once a year... I of course love this because it means I get to utilize her great skill and get to visit!
When I first spoke to Lauren on the phone we hit it off wonderfully... I had to be a part of her wedding somehow... but I was already off island for Erich's wedding (see below)... but it actually worked out perfectly that Cherry was able to fly out from California and photograph Lauren and Brian. I actually ended up with the best part of the shoot... the trash the dress!!! First thing Monday morning I left Ohio to get to the Mighty Mac in time to photograph them jumping in the water... funny thing is I left Ohio that morning... and Lauren and Brian were driving back to Ohio that night. So we met in Mac City... and went to the bridge.
It was SOOO much fun!!
Lauren and Brian, I may not have been able to be at your wedding but the trash the dress was amazing!! I had so much fun getting to know you two even better. You two are so fun and adventurous... i just know your lives will be the same way!! (btw Cherry said it was such a blast... the pics show it too).. my mom loved the pics too and said hello :-)
Love,
A
..and a huge thank you to Chris West for letting us use the Ugly Anne last minute... so much fun... if anyone is in the Northern Michigan area I highly suggest checking out Chris's boat tours Straits Area Tour Company ... SOOO much fun!
OH MY GOODNESS... this was by far the coolest shoot I have ever done... in the ocean (not just them... Me too!)... in Mexico ... the day after an AMAZING wedding...
Elizabeth & Will were splashing around... having fun... loving on each other..and not caring about a thing in the world except for having fun and being in the moment... and these pics can definitely show it.
Elizabeth and I had been talking about this shoot for months... Will, I think, may have been a little hesitant at first (and he wasn't even wearing the dress)... but the minute the volleyball court came into play... he was all about it... he just kept asking... "can I throw her in yet... can I throw her in yet ..."
SO MUCH FUN... man I love my job!!!
Take a look...
I love these pictures! And I love that our Trash the Dress photo shoot made it on your website before our actual wedding photos...Hahahaahahaa! That's why we love you =) xoxo
