I Swoon.

I Swoon.

Between moving to DC, and Mr. D being in England - I really dropped the ball on setting up a portrait session during cherry blossom season. I had also hoped that my dear friend of Jenna Cole Photography would be able to do the shoot, but alas she was busy… birthing a baby!

So I held off and considered 2011, but that puts us almost a year and half after our wedding! The vast majority of our portraits involve us kissing or about to kiss… what can I say, we were really happy to be married!

My thought process was that I’d swing by Whole Foods, make a decently looking bouquet that only needed to last a few hours at most. Then we’d take photos a bit like these (except, in a wedding dress) and Mr. D and me not kissing!

Huzzah!

But then… well. I saw these… from our photographer! Mr. D and I will be in San Diego in August - maybe we do a shoot like this instead!

I guess we could do both, but I know that I will be incapable of NOT trashing my dress. I’ll be all, “you know what would be awesome? Me cliff diving in my dress… weeee!” Right. Like I won’t end up 10 kinds of dirty when we finish.

What would you do?

Tough choice. I’m still deciding on whether or not to do a TTD.

Oh my gosh, when we got our engagement/wedding photos back, we loved them so much, but we were like, “we’re kissing in way too many of these!”

I totally get what you mean, which is also why the hubs and I are doing an anniversary session, and our goal is to NOT kiss so much We’re making it a bit more stylized, bringing along some props this time around and going all out. I’m really looking forward to it.

I hope you post the photos if you do it too!

Evan is my photographer too!!! As soon as I saw those shots on his blog I said I have to do something like that, so we’re going to first have a shoot at In N Out Burger and them move on to Sunset Cliffs. I say definitely go for it while you are in San Diego!

omg, my jaw dropped when I saw my engagement picture on your blog (photo #2). I definitely recommend taking photos during cherry blossom season, but I will say the crowds are crazy! they are too beautiful to pass up!

I love TTD photos. They are always so stunning to me. I would check around on craigslist or other places to buy a used wedding dress for cheap if you don’t want to trash your own.

I see a lot of cherry blossom photo shoots from my friends back in the DC area (including many from prom back in the day) and they’re completely sweet and beautiful - and extremely possible to do without anything getting trashed. Do the cherry blossoms AND then the amazing totally different San Diego ones.

Hey while you’re around the bee, perhaps a recap or two might be on its way? Pleeeease?

I’d personally go the beach route, but that’s just me!

If you don’t want to risk destroying your dress… what about picking up a clearance one from a wedding dress store? A substitute dress to be trashed? =)
