You might remember Becca + Jim from their stylish wedding, their feature on the Southern Weddings blog, and their fun engagement at The Viceroy. It was time for The Day After shoot and Becca chose the airport for something a little different. As usual, we had such an amazing time. Any excuse to hang out with these two!

And you MUST check out Becca’s stylish blog! I’m really excited about a project that I’m going to be doing with her!

A little windy!

This is why the wind is good!

So Becca!

Love, love, love her hand in this!

We were lucky enough to actually be there when a plane took off. The pilot waved at us!

One of my faves!

While in Walnut Grove, California, we decided to do an impromptu day after shoot with Melissa + Patrick. While driving down the road to Grand Island Mansion we saw the coolest spots and HAD to do a shoot there!

They were up for all our antics so we had a lot of fun!

This library called to us:

There was a liquor store, Alcoholics Anonymous and a church all in a row!

Thank you Melissa + Patrick for so much fun on the wedding day and day after!!

For our last shoot of the four day weekend, one of our favorite couples Candy + Dave came out for a fun Day After shoot. If you remember their engagement, it was entitled “Death of the Single Life” and we shot it in a cemetery. And their wedding was Day of the Dead themed. Flash forward several months; our super-fantastic blog designer Will found this perfect cemetery. It was just begging for us to do a Day After shoot with them in it!

We’re very attracted to the idea of the dark side of love. What I mean by that is; marriage is hard. Like, if you don’t think about getting a divorce at least once, there’s something wrong with you! (Maybe that’s why so many marriages end in divorce; they just don’t realize feelings of wanting to kill the other person are completely normal. Rest assured; they are! Ha.) And we love that Candy + Dave get that. That’s why their shoots have meant so much to us.

And we got to work with our very talented friends again: Makeup: Amy Marie Clarke and Hair: Hair by Melody

This is the shot I had envisioned and I didn’t even take it!

They’re so sweet; they melt my heart. BTW, anytime you see shots like this, it’s usually by my melty heart man, Jeremy.

Candy is amazingly gorgeous.

This is probably my fave. It’s always hard for me to choose!

He was a man.

What’s up with cemeteries closing so early?!
We ended up getting locked in and had to hop the fence! Dave climbed over first and got our handy ladder out of the car so we could climb over more easily.

Thanks Candy + Dave for being up for this and for dinner!

Okay, I’m a cheater. Previews are ways of doing blogs without REALLY doing blogs. I’m taking forever picking them. As usual. Plus Polaroids are good on their own.

Guess where we did their shoot?

We did Amy and John’s wedding four years ago (next month!) and we wanted to do something fun with them. So we decided to incorporate their guns, since they are quite found of them. Kinda like our version of American Gothic.

Interpretation number One:

Interpretation number Two:

Happy Anniversary Next Month! We love you!

The morning after Julie and Jose’s wedding, we did a day after session at The Queen Mary, where the wedding took place. Side story: Don’t walk around the Queen Mary alone. When we first got there, I went to find the little girl’s room. I walked down a long hall, no one was around and there was scary music playing. I got totally creeped-out! Then I couldn’t figure out how to get back because everything looks the same. Scary! I would NOT ever want to stay the night there!

We started inside. I love how old The Queen Mary is.

Then we went outside for some rainy day fun.

I processed this one to look old. I think it looks really cool with the rain and the texture that mimics it.

Jeremy rocked the rainy photos!

Jeremy had envisioned this shot for a long time and it finally came together.

Thanks Jose and Julie for braving the cold rain with us!

I had to add what Julie said in her email to us,
“WOW!!!!!! Those came out amazing. I have to say I was a little concerned because of my hair and face “the morning after” but that doesn’t even show in the finished product. I am so glad you pulled us out in the rain too…I bet no one has wedding shots like that!”

Thanks for your kinds words, Julie!

While in Rivera Maya not only did I get to shoot a destination wedding, but a trash the dress session too! Here are a few from the day after the wedding:

Looking at this really makes me want to go back and relax!

Getting the dress wet:

I think this one’s my favorite.

Who wants to go to Rivera Maya and trash their dress?! I’ll settle for anywhere around here. We have some ideas… Let us know if you want to do one!

The next morning after the wedding, we did the day after shoot at Del Mar Beach. Even though the couple was not in the best shape, we still managed to get some good ones.

This one is my favorite. Her dress is so fun to photograph!
