Photography By Shelly

So with the Fall season officially upon us (now that school is back in) I am reminded of Tyna and Haithams wedding last summer. It was at the end of August and I remember preparing for back to school as I was also preparing for their wedding. I never did blog is as I wasn't as savvy a blogger as I am now....haha.....of course I say that with a chuckle because I know how  bad I am at keeping up with this blog!

Anyway......they had booked years in advance!! I was the first service they booked and I was totally honored about that. They were going to do something uniquely different......something that at first I thought was completely crazy.....they were doing their photo's THE DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING!! What!!! I asked her why she wanted to "get ready" twice. She assured me that this is the way she wanted to do things.

Well as we got closer to the "shooting date" I started to get more excited about the idea of doing their photo's the day before. So many times when shooting a wedding I am watching my clock and worried about having my couple back to their reception on time.....I didn't have to worry about that at all....not only that....she didn't have to worry about being to the Church on time! She texted me that morning and told me she was running 30 minutes late....ok, no problem we have no where else to be. How ideal is that! She took her time to get ready and then we were off and running.

So her groom was going to have his "first look" the day before the wedding. Some people are so into tradition that this would have been out of the question however it was still perfect. Here are some of the pictures from our time together. We took our time, got all the shots we needed (the most I've ever shot!!) and then by the time we were done and sweaty we went our separate ways to enjoy the rest of the day. It really was perfect!!
