We started off the shoot with some photos on the beaches of Varadero and in the water. I was sooooo excited because they then wanted to get the entire wedding party to all jump in the pool at the same time with their wedding attire on. How exciting and fun!??!? I was in the pool to capture them in mid jump. I looked behind me at one point to see what was all the stir and their was about 50 people behind me watching!
Sonya & Leon, wedding party and family were amazing to be around for 2 weeks in Cuba! I loved their excitement for anything that I suggested.
What a beautiful girl with a flower in her hair!

We had this fun Empower the Dress session a few years after they have been married! Jana of course was as beautiful as I am sure she was on her wedding day! Besides the fact that they are sweet, friendly, cute, fun, awesome..and a million other amazing characteristics! Jana & Steven were willing to do anything, even lay in the middle of the road! No wonder I fell in love! No wonder I love my job!
Now I just found out that it is Steven's birthday today!!! So you must wish him a Happy Birthday in the comments! Plus a "Comment for a Can" wouldn't hurt anyways! Happy Birthday Steven! I hope you have an amazing day with Jana and the family!

1 - It is a totally relaxed easy going session, no time limits like on the wedding day, although most are around 1 hour a session.
2 - New Locations that may not have been used on wedding day. My couples are awesome at finding these hidden spots.
3 - My brides and grooms are awesome, and will do whatever I need them to do to create fun, beautiful photos.
4 - Couples are more relaxed after the wedding day which makes the session go smoothly and naturally.
5 - The Environmental Elements can be used to create a vision.
6 - I get to roll around on the ground, and act like a fool.
7 - It will give the bride and groom more time on their wedding day to mingle with guests and family, and not have to rush through photos.
8 - These sessions are not necessarily the day after the wedding but within a month of the wedding, depending on when the couple goes honeymooning!
9 - No Limits = Art
10-Empower the Dress sessions with my awesome couples make me smile :-)
