Day After Session: Jonny & Rebekah

Oh my poor, sweet, forsaken blog..

Mama’s missed you so!! You’ve been neglected for far, far too long. But I’ll be making it up to you in BIG ways these next couple of weeks. I’ve got two weddings, a honeymoon, and a new home to cover! And for today, a scrumptious little day-after session with none other than the Jause’s!

Day-after sessions are my FAVEEE-orite! Being the smartypantses that they are, Bekah and Jonny booked their session because they knew their wedding day timeline would be pretty tight. And fo’real? Who doesn’t like more pictures?! So on a Sunday just as loverly, Dylan and I spent three unrushed and fancy-free hours documenting the love and hottness that is Jonny and Bekah. And watch out world.. There IS hottness.

To our sweet friends: You are a joy to shoot, know and love! Thank you for letting us in on your life together! And thank you for the chocolate chip cookies. If my memory serves me correctly, they were gone by the time we got home. Which of course, shouldn’t be that hard to believe. :)

We all ventured back to the Hall of Springs for the afternoon. Seriously, how can you go wrong with Saratoga? Or Bekah and Jonny for that matter?

I just love seeing clients’ reactions to their photographer laying on the dirt, bug and whatever else-infested ground to get that one shot. This is after telling them they’d better look serious for this one! ;)

Bah’s glorious attempt to toss her train in the air so it would catch the wind. :) Couldn’t decide between these next two. You pick!

To the Jonny, Bekah, and yummy bokeh below. RAWR.

Bekah, you are beauty defined. I can’t get over you! Sorta like Jonny in that way. :)

“Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got. I’m still, I’m stillll..” Bekah from the block?

Bekah, Jonny.. You melt me.

Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles! No?

Bam. Foot shot!

These two were such good sports! My favorite part of this photograph is the title of Jonny’s book, which you can’t really see, but is nonetheless fitting: So Brave, Young & Handsome. Just look at him workin’ it.

Dylan scouted out this location. When I saw it, I asked him to marry me and be my business partner. :) He said yes.

Oh how I absolutely LOVE love. ‘Tis written all over them.

Happy Thursday!
