Katie and Paul|Trash the Dress {Part 1}

Katie and Paul are fabulous. They are such a fun loving, easy going couple; a joy to be around. Eric and I have truly enjoyed working with them this year, shooting both their engagement session and wedding in the past several months. So, when they asked us to photograph them yet again, we were thrilled! While their wedding was phenomenal and unlike any other we've seen, it was the same as most in this respect.... we didn't have much time with just the two of them. This is why I think post-wedding bridal sessions and "trash the dress" sessions are such an amazing idea. The four of us met at Bernheim Forest on a lovely fall day when the leaves were at their peak in color, and we spent the afternoon chatting and shooting, on no one's time but our own. We LOVE such relaxed sessions! So much so that we go a little overboard :) Here are just a few of my favorites from the first part of our session.... enjoy!

















Isn't Katie's dress fantastic?? I love how simple yet stunning it is. And it came from the most fabulous dress shop around... the Couture Closet!







Paul couldn't help himself... he had two professional photographers there just for them, and he still pulled out his iPhone to grab some shots :)













The rest to come soon!
