Wow. I think summer just got away from me. I can’t believe it’s September!
Well, it’s about time I posted these pictures of Heidi. We did a bridal photography session for Heidi in Salt Lake City. We had so much fun shooting these pictures, I can’t wait to show you the wedding!
While Bryant is off in Mexico shooting a wedding, I thought it would be appropriate to post some winter bridals. My hope is that he will check the blog while he is gone and have pity on those of us who are stuck back in Utah enduring the cold. Part of me hopes that he forgets to put sunblock on and comes back looking like something Red Lobster would envy.
When Missy and I got married, we were pretty much broke. Funds were so tight that we decided to skip out on the bridals, and just have a photographer at the wedding. We sometimes regret that we skipped the bridals. While we were visiting my parents in Star Valley Wyoming for Christmas, we thought it might be fun to take some winter bridals. I had a warm winter clothes on, and I was a bit chilled, yet Missy kept insisting that it wasn’t too bad (I couldn’t feel my fingers for part of the shoot).
One of the most difficult things about photography, at least for me, is deciding which way I want to go with the post processing. Sometimes very natural looking images just look so good, others I just love the uniqueness that is added with some creative post processing. For this post, I decided split some of my favorites up into groups depending on how they were processed.
This one is probably my favorite from the shoot.
I’ve had some ideas bouncing around my head for a while now. Something different than my usual style of photography. All I needed was someone willing to give it a shot. Enter Ciara.
Ciara is a good friend and a fellow photographer (Check out her work at Fancy Bred Photography). I practically begged Ciara to be my subject. Luckily she felt sorry for me (I tried to sound as desperate as possible), and agreed. She even went so far to tell me that she was excited to wear her wedding dress again, since she has been married for a couple of years now.
This was such a fun shoot even though I nearly got hit by a car. Hey, the shot was worth it.
One thing you have to remember about Ciara and her husband Brett is that they are ridiculously skilled at the board game Sequence. They consistently beat us when we last played, even though I stacked the deck. Seriously.
