vc10um's Post-Wedding Session and Trash the Dress Session!

[vc10um]

I am SO excited to share these pictures with you ladies (finally!)...

A little background...I always envisioned getting married in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I went to college (GO BLUE!). When I met DH and we realized that most of his family wouldn't be able to attend an out-of-town (for them) wedding, we decided to get married in Kansas City, Missouri. On one condition: that I get to have pictures taken after the wedding in Ann Arbor, just like I'd pictured since I was 18!

The amazing Dionne Haglund of The Shooting Gallery (who also shot Rachie and ladyciel's weddings) followed DH and I all around Ann Arbor getting some A-MAY-ZING shots. A few of my favorites (out of the 500+ images) are below...

Beautiful VC!

The first photo posted of you wet from the fountain is my fave. Joy personified = magic!

Thanks, AB! I think we cross-posted so you missed the last four pics...unless of course you're talking about the ones IMMEDIATELY after I hit the water, which are HORRIFIC because I didn't count on my butt hitting the bottom of the fountain so quickly! Nearly knocked the wind out of me!

FutureGirl, you're SO sweet! Thank you for the lovely compliment! I think what most amazes me about the fountain pictures is you can't really tell how FREAKING FROZEN I was during them. The air temperature was about 52-55F and the water was colder...about 45 degrees. BRRRRRR. It's amazing I'm not this color in them:

Absolutely beautiful!

Re: vc10um's Post-Wedding Session and Trash the Dress Sessio

OU, violet, SB, and Trekkie, thank you so much! Hopefully I've inspired some other brides to get out there and do something wild after the wedding in their dress they NEVER would have done on the wedding day!

SB, you know I love me my sassy hair! (Speaking of which, we're overdue for a sassy drink!)

I love the new photos! How lucky are you getting to dress up twice?!

My favorite would have to be of you in the tree! just perfect.

Re: vc10um's Post-Wedding Session and Trash the Dress Sessio

Oh goodness, you ladies make me feel special!

monnie, ladybug, and rosetta, thanks so much!

FMS, they totally are my dream pictures! Thank you, lady!

HOT, I'll admit it...I actually got to dress up THREE times! Between the wedding and the photoshoot, I had a local reception back where DH and I live (since we got married out of town and the wedding was pretty much family only)! But man, I got all the use I could out of that dress!
