Alina & Vadim 06.19.11 TTD

So...my first Trash the Dress session...it was quite an experience.

Verdict: I loved it!

The water was absolutely freezing!...I was amazed at how well Alina held her cool!! I think we got an awesome set...here are a few I wanted to share:

Julie & Alex: Engaged 03.28.11

Beautiful weather, beautiful location, beautiful couple...this engagement session was cool, fun, and easy-going. We just had a good time hanging out and I even got the honor of having lunch with this couple afterward :))

Mary & Alex 04.15.11

This engagement session was awesome...Mary and Alex are both such sincerely kind people. Alex was a trooper that day...first of all, the guys are usually not very thrilled to be having pictures taken while the girls are usually all excited...but besides that, he had spent all night driving from Portland and I imagine, he couldn't wait to take a nap at the least. So thanks for your patience, Alex. 

And Mary, overall, it's just been amazing working with you...it's really a pleasure staying in contact with you through this whole process. I had an great time making the invites with you and your sister. Thanks for letting me be a little part of the most beautiful day of your life!!

The Koroteev Family

Such a kind, fun family...Natalie and Victor are such open people. Always offering and giving...this family will continue to grow with God's blessings. I loved shooting them...it was an adventure, I'll admit. Getting into this marina was a wonderful surprise for us--thank God for the opportunities we get when we least expect it. This was definitely a shoot I looked forward to until it happened and one of the best ones I still look back on now.
