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!

Just for a Fun Friday post, here’s the last collage with the misc photo shoots. They consist of: Ringed-that-didn’t-get-married-this-year, Portraits and Passion shoots.

I know this is long but I really do hope you read it all!

After we shot The Heimstra’s Fam Session, Jeremy had an idea to take just the two of them for a shoot by themselves. They’ve been married for 22 years and have never really had a good shoot done. We didn’t know this going into it but we wanted to do something fun and different. They were up for it. Jeremy drove around all day looking for the perfect burned up place and he found it.

It was really touching to see a couple that has so much love and passion for each other after all these years. We can only hope for half of what they have! We realized after doing this that we want to do more! So we decided to call these types of shoots our “passion shoots.” And we can do it for new couples or couples that have been married for years. The concept is kinda like a Trash the Dress but one doesn’t necessarily have to wear the wedding dress. The point is to have fun, get dirty (hopefully!) and get some really great photos where the experience will be remembered forever.

The images came out great. More importantly I feel like we were changed just by doing this. It was definitely an experience!

So here is Jeremy’s vision. There’s a lot more that we can’t post because it’s too personal. But here’s what we can:

I know all you blog stalkers have been waiting for some Yosemite posts since our vacation last month (by the way, I heart you blog stalkers!!) and finally I have something to show you. I just sent out the Yosemite film to be developed so stay tuned for that post.

This couple isn’t really engaged but it’s close enough! They have been married for a few years. We thought it would be fun to do a session with them in a beautiful place that we all love! I couldn’t convince her to trash her beautiful dress there but there’s always next year! (C’mon Chrissy do it!!)

A few from one of my favorite places to shoot, the meadows. A mixture of mine and Jeremy’s shots (not sure who took what and I’m too lazy to look it up!)

Jeremy shot this on our way to another spot. I love, love, love it!

We saw a baby bear on our ride (good thing Jeremy had the telephoto lens on!)

Momma bear and two baby bears!

A perfect place for a little make-out session. It’s okay, they’re married.

Thanks Steve and Chrissy for the fun shoot!
