What a fun time we had today! A few days ago when I photographed Samantha and Noah for their engagement, I asked if they’d be interested in trashing the dress. After a few quizzical looks on their part and a short explanation on mine, they were all for it. So we planned it for today, and luckily the weather held out for us.
Samantha chose a dress and the bouquet was made of orchids and seashells, edged with baby’s breath flowers, and made by Holiday House Flowers. Thank you Kim and Wes for the gorgeous bouquet!
We started at the edge of the ocean, lying in the sand, then venturing out into the waves. Oops…it was a little too rough and we retreated back to the sand.
After we finished up on the beach and rinsed all of the sand out of our clothes, we headed to the pool. Noah took Samantha by the hand and they ran and jumped into the pool! Just like that! Then I climbed in (minus my camera) and made some adjustments to Samantha’s dress, reached for my camera and as they say, the rest is history.
Thank you Samantha and Noah for being such great sports and so much fun to work with, you too Paula and Michael, and thanks for loaning me a dry shirt to wear home!

Great series of photos. It is great to see both the photographer and the subjects willing to go beyond what is traditional to get some fantastic shots. These will be the photos they cherish for years to come.
