Love, Sweet Love: Strike a Pose

August 12th, 2009 @ 1:39 pm by Mrs. Powder Puff

Immediately after our first look, Mr. Powder Puff and I took a good long time to pose for some portraits.



Rawr! Who’s that handsome guy?!

Mr. Powder Puff contends that this is a gratuitous boob shot. Umm… hello! It’s about the flowers. But I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth—if my boobs look great then that’s totally awesome!

Why, lookie here! A chair, near the train tracks?! Well, let me rest my weary bones for a mere moment.

Rest my bones, with a side of SASS!

Mmm… the smell of sweat mixed with your perfume is such an appealing scent on you, milady.

Oh, Mr. Powder Puff! How you do go on!

Nothing says love like a man carrying your train. Am I right, ladies?

And now for my very favorite image of all.

This one is getting slapped on our wall, STAT!

Up next? We add a dash of bridal party members to the recipe for some serious fun!

Lovely! And I hope you will always be grateful for having a groom willing to spend that much time getting his picture taken on his wedding day! To his benefit, he got a gratuitous boob shot out of it all and a pretty hot wife too:-)

Weren’t you woried about trains coming? I always think about that when i see pictures of couples on train tracks. Not to mention I think the gravel on the tracks would ruin shoes.

@kayakgirl73: I had to have a little of an adventurous spirit to do this. We weren’t worried about trains coming, I think we would have noticed them in time to jump out of the way. :)

And we stepped on the wooden beams crossing the tracks. So I didn’t ruin my shoes. It’s not for everyone, though!

Did you already write about that chair? Is it yours? Your photographers? How did you transport it. Love the photos and I secretly want to duplicate them, which explains all of my questions. :)

@Mrs. Avocado: I haven’t written about the chair- it actually belongs to our photographer. After we were done taking photos at the ceremony site, she packed us into her car (with the chair in the back, she has a large car), and drove us over to the train tracks.

She had a whole bag of tricks- the chair, Polaroids, and poster boards that said “Thank you” that we used in photos that will be in turn used for our thank you notes! :)
