It’s finally fall and yesterday was the perfect day for a sunset session with an awesome couple.  I enjoyed sharing the evening with you two!

We got together with Christine and Kevin the day after their gorgeous wedding for a trash the dress session.  We visited a nearby abandoned mansion, we jumped (and rolled) in the ocean and took a dip in the very chilly (read: not heated) pool.

I don’t think I’ve ever had that much fun during a session, nor have I ever gotten that dirty during a portrait session.  Lots of sand, sun and surf and the icing on the cake was finishing our evening with a drink at the pool’s swim up bar.

Amazingly all of the dirt and sand that gathered in Christine’s dress washed away in the outside shower/pool.  They hung it on the balcony to dry over night and it looked brand new in the morning… so much for trashing her dress.  I guess we’ll just have to try again!

Enjoy!

It just struck me that I never fully blogged Christine + Kevin’s gorgeous Playa del Carmen, Mexico wedding. I am quite behind on blogging due to capturing and editing weddings, sessions and some business and personal travel, but I am going to do my best to get back on track and play some catch up.

Every single time I look at these images I daydream about going back to Mexico and I call, email or text Dustin to ask (beg) him to pretty please take me back.  If you’re looking for a Mexican destination I cannot recommend Secrets Maroma Beach enough.  If you decide to go, will you pretty please take me with you?

We had such a great time with Christine, Kevin and all of their fabulous friends and family.  Enjoy!

Oh my goodness what can I say about Nora and Tim’s perfect Hawaiian nuptials?  It was quite simply AMAZING.  From their sweet first look, to the romantic ceremony overlooking the gorgeous grounds of the Grand Hyatt Kauai and the endless blue ocean, to the TWO gorgeous gowns,to  the delicious dinner and the amazing party; it was all about the details and oh my was it perfect.

Many thanks to Nora & Tim for allowing us to share in such an incredible time in your lives and for making our 8th wedding anniversary better than we could have ever dreamed!

I’m breaking these images up into two posts to help them load faster.  Here are a few sneak peeks from the pre-ceremony & ceremony images…enjoy!
