Chelsea's Bridals

Seriously, this girl can't take a bad picture.







Her grandmother's pearl necklace







Yes, she brought Spencer, her fiance'. He was such a great help and I'm so glad he was there!


He was always more than willing to help with the back of her dress. He is the perfect man!!













This was my first time attempting off camera flash. Always trying new things!

Chelsea and Spencer Engagements

I love this couple! They are so fun and perfect together. We got along perfectly and they trusted me with every crazy idea I had! Too bad their clothes got stolen because of it. Wanna know the story, I'll tell you in a bit!

This first picture is the one they picked for their announcement.






















These are the infamous jeans, you'll have to keep going to find out the story!






These next pictures are definitely out of my comfort zone. I wanted to play with low light situations, reflections, and edits for them. I like how they turned out. Definitely something I want to get more practice on.




As promised, here is the story! While shooting these shots below, we had their change of clothes on a sign post across the pond. While shooting, Spencer looked up and said, "Where are our clothes?" We walked over to where they were supposed to be and sure enough they were gone!

His expensive designer suit and her True Religion jeans, gone!!!

Spencer took off running and found the clothes stashed in some bushes but the jeans were still missing. We saw some teenage boys way off in the distance so he took off after them. After chasing them about a mile, he caught up to them and had to frisk them to find the jeans tucked into one of the boys pants.

Crazy huh? Needless to say the shoot got cut short so we met the next day to finish the shoot.


I have to admit, even if we hadn't recovered the clothing, this shot was soooooooooo worth it!!!

Wait 'til you see Chelsea's bridals. This girl cannot take a bad picture - I'll post those soon!
