April 14, 2012 Carol + Torey = Baby P

October 18th 2008 was a very special day. It was the day that Carol and Torey were married in front of their family and friends and our cameras. After we photographed their wedding, and delivered their album, we didn’t see them for a while until we received an email from Carol saying “we’re having a baby!”. We were thrilled for them, excited to see them again, but also felt very honored to called upon to capture such a special time in their lives once again. Baby P arrived two weeks early – she just couldn’t wait to get in front of our cameras ; ) Here are some of our favorites of a then 6 day old Baby P.

Carol and Torey, thank you for sharing your lives once again with us, we feel very privileged.

October 21, 2011 Kristen + Tyler = Rock the Frock Session!

After all the anticipation, excitement, and investment that goes into a Wedding gown, it is a shame that often times it ends up hidden in the highest shelf of your closet. Packaged beautifully and meticulously preserved perhaps, but still only having had one day to shine.

Some brides have many different directions that they would have liked to go in with their Wedding attire, but due to logistics, it just wasn’t possible to include all those details within their Day. Dreaming of different shoes and accessories, or perhaps a more casual interpretation than what suited other elements of their Day, a location that couldn’t be reached due to timing, weather, or season, can leave a bride feeling just a teensy bit disappointed. Others just want to spend some more time in their fabulous gown with their new hubby! All of these are great reasons to “Rock the Frock”!

As photographers, we have seen the movement of the “Trash the Dress” over the years, and although it can work for a couple that is ready to take it that far, we really love photographing gorgeous gowns and have a hard time imagining “trashing” them. A few years ago we started our “Rock the Frock” Sessions as a way to give a gown a brilliant send-off before it goes to its next destination (packaged carefully in a box, sold or donated to an excited bride-to-be, or saved for a future generation to enjoy). Kristin and Tyler’s was the first Rock the Frock of the 2011 Wedding Season, and we had such a great time with this fun couple!

The only element that stayed true to their Wedding Day was Kristen’s gown. The rest of their attire – from Kristen’s gorgeous hair piece, fun shoes, and cosy sweater, to Tyler’s attire, hat and red messenger bag, were all thoughtfully put together by Kristin and Tyler for their Session. Bring in a new location, and a sunset session on the brink of Fall, and it was a fantastic way to enjoy one last evening with Kristen’s perfect dress. I hope it had as much fun as we did!
