Aeriel & Matt… A Day After
Unfortunately I was not the wedding photographer for Aeriel & Matt, but VERY fortunately I was their “Day After” photographer!! YES!! Technically it wasn’t the day after their wedding, but we did spend an entire afternoon getting some amazing shots of them in their wedding get up. I haven’t done one of these in a long time, and I’m pretty sure I was more excited about it than even she was (which, she referred to it as her Christmas… which I guess would make me an elf..). Anyways, you can ask anyone - there is nothing I love photographing more than couples. And on the actual wedding day, there typically isn’t anymore than 15-20 minutes of couple time allowed which always frustrates me a little. SO, having a full afternoon of couple time was awesome!!
So, obviously we started at the grocery store. Where else would we start?!
Yep - that’s right. It’s was pouring down raining. I adore this shot
And this is where it also became a Trash the Dress - this hunk of junk left a huge black spot on her dress. Did that stop us?!
This was the cleanest tattoo parlor I’ve ever seen. It was disappointingly clean!!
I had so much fun with these two because they are very silly like me. So, when I asked for a serious shot
This was the reaction
By far my favorite shot of the day!! haha!! This just happened & I almost peed myself I laughed so hard.
The wind was our friend
delicious
Aeriel is so incredibly natural & intense in front of the camera. Fierce!!
The “Hallelujah it’s Over!!” hug
It was a long afternoon of shooting for them, but I had an amazing time & I think it was well worth it!!

ps- did you get in trouble for shooting in a grocery store? i have before :(
By ashley on Dec 01, 2008
You know.. I was scared about shooting at the grocery store & I warned them that we may have to bolt out of there if someone looked at us a little too long. I did get kicked out of an ice cream store once.. and I mean, almost violently. But no “GET OUT’S!!!” lately!!
