Okay, so I couldn’t resist a sneak peek at our photos on IG and in this post on my personal blog – featuring the wrap dress, BUT HERE ARE EVEN MORE!
We shot these photos with the lovely Halle Kennon a few weeks ago, and I have been dying to share them ever since. If you have read the past few posts, you know I ordered three dresses from Rent The Runway and couldn’t decide which one to wear, so I wore all three! {More about Rent the Runway and Why I am Loving it, in this post, as well.} From the dresses, to the location, to the shots that Halle captured, this shoot turned out exactly as I had imagined it! Considering that all of my photos for TCP & RP are usually all black, simple and minimal, I wanted to try something different for this shoot and I am SO glad I did.
I don’t have much more rambling to do, as the photos speak for themselves but just one quick suggestion. If you have an upcoming couples shoot, I recommend checking out pinterest beforehand for inspo (pin this post for later!) because the photos where we used some inspiration that Halle found turned out much better than John and I just wandering around in the field! Sometimes a little direction goes a long way. Don’t get me wrong, we did capture some great photos at the beginning, but it helps to change up the posing to get a little variety.
TO JOHNNY: I love you. Thank you for always supporting me and encouraging me; for always making me laugh and being the straight up weirdest, most unique person that I know. I am so glad that we got to celebrate in our favorite way, at our favorite place, The Homestead and hope that we continue that tradition as long as we live! Quar with you wasn’t always easy, but I am so grateful for the extra time we got to spend together. May we keep on laughin’ hon! CHEERS TO MANY, MANY MORE YEARS!
