We had Christa out to the studio yesterday to take her bridal portraits... We've had the privilege of taking her Senior Portraits a few years ago, and are again blessed to be asked to photograph her wedding... Her wedding is in September, so you know what that means, really hot weather for bridal portraits... The funny thing, or should I be honest and give credit where credit is due (to God), is that it wasn't really hot.... As she drove up there was a huge (I mean huge) set of dark clouds to the Southeast of us... And it was thundering really loud.... the wind picked up and I thought, "this is going to be interesting". To make a long story short, it passed over quickly, cooled the temperature down about 10 degrees, and kept a cool steady breeze... you couldn't have asked for better weather... Thanks Lord (for the millionth time). Anyway, this is the only preview we can show, due to the nature of the portraits (I know you'll understand), you can't be showin' bridal portraits to everyone before the wedding... where's the ettiquette? Getting back to Christa... She's a tall, extremely beautiful young lady... when she was all dressed up, she was exquisitely gorgeous... Her sister kept saying, "you look so grown up"... I love my job... The only image I can show is her shadow, in case anyone was wondering what this is....
Towards the end of the session, we put her on an old bench we've had for a while now... About 5 minutes into this placement, the bench began to slowy move... We stopped, made one or two adjustments... I made the comment, "well, if it breaks, we'll all get a good laugh"... 1 minute later, "Kaboom", it collapsed, bride and all.... we all were laughing so hard... Christa, you are truly a good sport.... anyway, here's a pic of what it looked like afterwards... and no, it wasn't because of her, it was just old.... we got some great images, and we all had a great time.... Christa, can't wait to see you again for your engagement (and meet the lucky guy)....
