Day After Session: Stacie & Chris

Clouds filled the sky and provided a nice break to the streak of extremely hot weather we had been having. I arrived a little early just to have time to relax and plan the morning session…then my phone rang… “Hey, this is Chris…we are going to be a little late…” I smiled and just laughed- I told him not to worry about it at all. The weather was beautiful and I did not want Stacie to stress out about time, after all- that is the beauty of a day after session… There is no lack of excitement and beautiful memories created on the wedding day-however, there is one thing you can bet on...a lack of TIME! So often the photos are cut short after all the formals of the wedding party and family groupings that little time is given to the bride and groom themselves. Though we always make sure there is time set aside for the bride and groom to be alone, they usually wrap it up wanting more... but also are eager to get back to their guests.
When a couple schedules a day after shoot, I am so thrilled for them because not only will they have the wonderful images from their wedding day, but also a special session just for the two of them to reflect, enjoy one another and in a way relive their big day all over again...and even share it with special little friends!
We met at Atlantic beach where Chris had purposed to Stacie and had a wonderful little adventure around town together. I never get tired of hearing the love stories and incorporating special places into the sessions...it's all about preserving the memories that will live in their hearts forever :)

Hope you enjoyed the little sneak peak of Stacie and Chris rocking their day after session- aren't they just the cutest!

Stay tuned for Stacie’s trash the dress session where Dress+Ocean= AWESOME!!!
Stacie and Chris thank you again for such a wonderful morning- every time we work together it is always so much fun and such a pleasure...and did I mention FUN- I love you guys to pieces!!!

  2. LOL- thanks Char! The thing I LOVE about it is that they are sooo stress free and it really is a special time just for them- and also not having to worry about the dress so much... something that every bride and groom should have the chance to experience!
