I met Ashley and Alex through a mutual friend of ours, who suggested they check out my work. They are getting married in beautiful Sanibel, Florida and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding. They brought their dogs to the shoot as they are also going to be in their wedding. This is the first time that I have had animals join a photo shoot.
Sanibel holds a special place in my heart. It was the first "real" vacation that my wife and I took when we were dating. We had such a great time and it really sealed the deal for me thinking I could spend the rest of my life with her. One of the funniest stories we have came from there, too. Apparently, Sanibel Island is one of the best places to go "shelling" on the beach. You are supposed to go at low tide, fight the crowds of people and have a good time. So, Lynne and I were pumped to go... but low tide was at something like 3am. We went to the store bought a flashlight, pail and shovel. We roll out of bed, walk to the beach (right outside our back door) and the first thing we notice is that there is NO ONE around. Hmm... first clue.... Second thing was that it was PITCH black. You couldn’t see your hand at the end of your arm!! Lynne has the flashlight and we walk out into the low tide. As Lynne spots a nice shell with the light, she yells out "Here's one!” So, I bend down to start digging it out or just picking it up... when suddenly she spots something else in the dark and moves the flashlight to see what it is. When she does this, I cant see a darn thing and lose the shell in the darkness. We both laugh. This literally goes on the entire time... by the end of our experience she is doing it on purpose and we are laughing so hard. Its hard to put into words how awesome that night was. Its the simple things in life that are so memorable.
Anyway, enough about me!! Check out the photos from the engagement shoot. Leave me some comments on what you think!!
