So, as tempted as I was to just publish these photos without a blog entry (because when busyness ensues it tends to just take over the fun parts of life ::Ahem:: like writing about the photo sessions!) this one was just too special to not give a story to it! And so the "so..." begins again:
This is a "Trash the Dress" photoshoot. This couple was married four years ago and have spent that time together building a family of four. Not only is this my first time being asked to photograph moments in former wedding day attire in a non-wedding setting (i.e.: let's roll around in the sand and take the kids in the ocean while all fully dressed!) but also good friends of ours whose wedding we were able to happily look upon while on a cliffside Costa Rican Resort that overlooked the rainforest and the sea four years ago. So, cheers to to you, Melissa and Tony, for enjoying your time along the way and wanting to relive the fun of dolling up while being surrounded by your little ones! Here's to many more years! 
So lovely! Melissa looks SO pretty! {As does the rest of the lovely family, but she looks especially glowy in her close-ups!} :)
ReplyDeleteErica, As always you capture the moments so perfectly. It was an honor to not only have you at our wedding 4 years ago but to be able to have you photograph our family in the last few years! We love every single one of them!
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures of my daughter's family. I agree she definitely glows here, I guess you can't hide happiness :)
