Hello! I have been promising and promising to share with you tales from my journey with Matt into the world of photography (more specifically wedding photography) and I am here to live up to those promises.
Here we go!
Matt has been shooting weddings for about two years now and has been trying to talk me into shooting with him for at least half that time. I was sort of shy about it at first, a little nervous...."fancy" c(ameras are quite intimidating and I also didn't know if I would be any good, I had never really used a camera before ( unless you count disposable...which I don't lol ) and so I had no idea what kind of "eye" I had.
We decided to travel with our good friends Nikki (a.k.a. Misses Octopus) and her husband Travis to St. Augustine for a trash the dress session, which seemed appropriate since they had gotten married in St. Augustine a few years earlier. We ventured out early to catch the beautiful morning light .
Now I was still pretty green when it came to using my camera so I spent most of my time trying to get fun behind-the-scenes shots .....here are some of my favorites!
(captions UNDERNEATH photos will let you know which shots are mine and which are Matt's)
I LOVED the look of this huge moss covered wall on the outside of the fort!

This shot really shows of the beautiful hair piece that Nikki made especially with this shoot in mind!

I love the way the big grey walls of the fort look in the background!

Another behind the scenes peek! I love that Matt is so willing to roll around in the dirt to get the best shot!

By the time we trudged around the fort a bit, the bottom of Nikki's dress had taken a beating! But she wasn't quite filthy enough = enter big ol' dirt pile!

Once again Matt sits in the dirt for the best shot.

I adore this photo! I think she's looks so ballerina-like!

Thank you all so much for joining in on the adventure! This shoot was months ago and we have done MANY engagement shoot and weddings since then so I have a TON to share!
So check back soon and don't be shy...... I would love to here your thoughts!
