A few weeks ago I received a call from Angela and Ben. They had just been married and weren’t crazy about their wedding pictures, so they wondered if we could go out somewhere around the Wisconsin Dells to do a portrait session. They just wanted some pictures in their wedding clothes that were “frame-worthy” to put on their walls.
SO… we met at Devil’s Lake State Park yesterday. I have to tell you that Angela and Ben had some funny looks since they were hiking around in a wedding dress and suit! But it was sure fun! This was the first time I brought my husband (also named Ben) to a shoot, and he had a blast. And he even got some really great pictures. A few of them made it into the slideshow!
Anyway, we hiked up the hill, taking pictures along the way (when we were winded!), some more at the top, and then headed back down. We found an awesome stone culvert, fun spots in the woods and the railroad tracks, and then my favorite: the LAKE! Yes, it was late September, but that didn’t stop these troopers from hopping in! And, of course, being the dedicated photographer that I am, I hopped in too. :) The water wasn’t so bad once you got used to it.
Angela and Ben, thanks for calling me to do this session with you. It was so much fun, and I hope to be doing more of these sessions in the future. Here are my three favorite shots of the day:
And here is your slideshow!
Last of all, this is just for those of you who may be curious what will happen to your dress after one of these sessions:
That’s awesome! And what a good-looking a couple. It’s a shame that they didn’t really like their wedding pictures, but leave it to Images of Distinction to save the day.
I see LOTS of wall-worthy shots, but my favorite is the one of them splashing each other in the water. Bravo!
Amazing pictures! Your work is great! I would be interested in doing a “trash the dress” shoot, however; i want it to be dirtier! Email me if you’d be interested
