Boy Meets Girl














A Bundle of Joy






Portraits for the Non-Traditional Wedding

There are two interesting new trends in wedding photography for the couple that doesn't mind living on the edge.

First Look: This is for the couple that knows seeing each other on the big day will help calm their nerves.  It also allows a photographer to really capture the first moment where the couple sees each other in their wedding finery.  The photographer will stage a meeting an hour or so before the wedding.  This time together before the stress of additional people allows for some especially romantic photographs.

Destroy the Dress:  So after the wedding, most women aren't quite sure what to do with the wedding dress.  After all, it's something you don't want to just throw out, but do you really want to store it forever?  Some women are memorializing and saying goodbye to their wedding dresses in "Destroy the Dress" sessions.  This includes doing all those fun things that you wouldn't dream of doing in your dress before the big day: swimming, painting a picture, running a foot race, getting in a food fight with your husband, or anything else your heart could desire.  Not for the feint of heart.

How close to the edge do you live?
