Julie

Yesterday was one of those days where work was wayyy too much fun to be work. I met up with Julie, Julie's mom, and one of Julie's best friends, Amanda, to shoot Julie's bridals. One of the neat things about it was that I had met them back in 2005 when I got to shoot Amanda's wedding. I was also excited to learn that Amanda was expecting her first child in November. Can't wait to do those maternity pictures!!

Anyway, I was very honored when Julie asked me to shoot her bridals, engagements and reception pics...notice I didn't say wedding...hmmm...something about Hawaii...

jk julie :)

Anyway, to get back to my story, we had the best locations and the best weather and overall, just a great day. Amanda and Julies mom were so helpful with the reflector regardless of what kind of precarious positions we got ourselves in. As of this moment, Julie and I were the only ones with minor injuries. Julie had a sore neck today from just different positions she was in and my bum is a little sore and bruised from slipping off the rocks that I was standing on. Camera was safe and sound and that is always the priority. I'm sure that we were a sight to behold! What we do to get the shots....here are a few of my favs!

Julie wanted to do a shot with Lauray's in the picture as that is where Andrew purchased her ring and this store has a long history with Julie's family.

I just had to get one shot of Amanda. She was such a trooper all day even though I think we wore her out. You can't even tell that she is expecting! She looks great.

Well, as you can see, Julie makes an absolutely georgous bride and I feel blessed to have been a part of such a fun and special day. Also I want to say thanks for the cold water that Julie's mom was gracious enough to have thought of beforehand and for the great dinner that we had afterward. You guys are great and made me feel like part of the family!!

Can't wait to meet up with you guys on Friday for the engagement shots!!

Thanks!
