Laura and John-the advent of the "fashion show" shoot.
















John and Laura were another couple who were so game for anything I asked of them...and thus the fashion show shoot...

Each side of the wedding party lined up and I did a (very horrible) dance mix by mouth, to which each member of the wedding party performed a fun little catwalk. Ah... good times! I had to put one of my favorite John pics from the dance off. He was a natural.

I also had the pleasure of doing all the photos before the ceremony. Yay!! I love when this can happen, and especially so when your reception is in the same building as (and immediately following) the ceremony. Since all shots were gotten before the ceremony even started, we were all able to head straight out the sanctuary doors and out into the reception in the church's foyer without missing a beat, or a bit of conversation. Plus...I'm rather fond of the images we made when John and Laura saw each other for the first time that day. Laura was so nervous, and they were so taken with each other at first site. And because of the intimacy of the meeting spot, it was just us-not everyone on the guest list. It was truly beautiful. I'd highly suggest this option, even if you're a wee bit superstitious, because the stress is all gone before you even say "I do"-the rest of the day is for celebrating. But no pressure. LOL I'm also not going to force you to do something you'd rather not do. Just sayin', it's pretty awesome if you do... :)

John and Laura, I love you both together. I can still remember how John reacted, completely and honestly, that he was soo lucky to have you, so incredibly lucky, luckier than he even knew. You're BOTH lucky, imho. I know your marriage will be amazing.
