OLIVIA - BRIDAL

A few weeks ago, I headed up to Cincinnati to shoot a bridal session with the wonderful Amanda, Annie, & Toby.. Oh, yeah.. Kevin came, too! We were all afraid that we would be rained out of our shoot, but luckily the rain held off just long enough for us to have a nice session in the Spring Grove Cemetery.

I know what you're thinking... Bridal shots in a cemetery?! Yep! If you're not familiar with Spring Grove, I would definitely check it out. We barely scratched the surface of this HUGE cemetery. There are a ton of beautiful locations to shoot, and they have quite a few chapels where they even hold weddings. Check it out!

Now, meet Olivia.

Isn't she a knockout? The tiny flowers poking through the grass were really great for the beginning of our shoot.

I went back and forth on this one in color and black & white, but finally settled on black & white. Sometimes, I just can't make up my mind.

Work it.

This one is a little dark for a bridal session, but Olivia ended up stick on some black, lace gloves toward the end, and "dark" seemed the way to go. I love it when brides decide to go a little funky. 

Seriously, Olivia.. You're gorgeous.

Are you interested in doing a fun bridal session before or after your wedding? It can be arranged! These sessions are always fun and laid back, and it's a great chance to get some more pictures of yourself wearing the awesome dress you picked out for the wedding!

Andrea & Lucas -- Trash the Dress

You may be thinking, "What? Another post today!?"

Yes, I am a notoriously bad blogger, but I'm trying to be better. I'm trying to post everything within a week... Or two. Cut me some slack!

Andrea was our second trash the dress victim... Er, model. She and her boyfriend Lucas were so much fun to work with, and they were great sports about their trashing tool. You'll see what it was when you scroll down!

Again, to check out more amazing photography work, check out the other photographers that were along for the ride: Chris, Allie, Annie & Toby, Sheila, Amanda, and Sarah.

First, Andrea is s-t-u-n-n-i-n-g.

Here are a couple from before we started trashing.

I couldn't decide whether I liked this one more in color or black and white. You decide. It's definitely one of my favorites, though!

Then, we started trashing. Lucas and Andrea were given ketchup and mustard to trash with! This would have looked a little murder-movie if we didn't have the mustard, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Andrea has the best smile!

This last one is Andrea threatening to turn the mustard bottle on us... I'm pretty sure we all said, "Ok. Let's pack it up!"

Two more Trash the Dress sessions to come, so stay tuned! Check back for your chance to wiin a FREE trash the dress session, too!

Erin -- Boudoir

***This post contains pictures that show a little skin.***

The Trash The Dress weekend extravaganza in Cincinnati also included a boudoir shoot with one of our models, Erin. Boudoir photography is becoming increasingly popular with brides-to-be because an album of the shots makes a great wedding/honeymoon present for their future husbands.

Erin was really a great model for us, and we all had a great time photographing her. For more information, and more photos, please check out the other awesome photographers from this photo field trip: Chris, Allie, Annie & Toby, Sheila, Amanda, and Sarah.

Buckle up, this will be a long post!

Isn't Erin beautiful?

Thanks for getting all the way to the end!
