Happy Monday everyone! This week officially kicks off the true holiday season! Or do we technically start that at Halloween? Anywho- can’t believe 2011 is coming to an end already. So many amazing things have happened to many of us this year and despite any challenges we’ve each faced, there is so still so much to be thankful for.
And I’m always thankful for the beautiful blue oceans and true love. So what better way to start this week of thanks off than with those two things!
On this lovely Monday (p.s. aren’t all Mondays on a short work week the loveliest?), I have the most stunning trash the dress session from Michelle Castle Photography that I ever did see.
Here’s the scoop from Michelle…
Leslie & Rory are an amazing couple that have had 3 destination photo shoots with me! (the couple resides near Auburn, AL-Rainbow City to be exact) The 1st was their engagement session in Apalachicola, FL in March 2011, then their wedding in the fabulous 30-A area of Santa Rosa Beach, FL this September ,and then this daring Trash the Dress Session at the edge of the jetty’s in Destin, FL the day after their wedding! Don’t let this beautiful backdrop fool you, this couple worked hard walking some 100 yards across large uneven rocks to get the very tip of the jettys. leslie’s dress was heavy and the conditions were difficult with literally 100′s of jelly fish surrounding us! Leslie had one goal in mind and that was a beautiful wall canvas to showcase their destination wedding experience. Going on just a few hrs sleep, the couple braved their morning after the wedding trash the dress session with only 1 cup of coffee. After the session was over they cleaned up, headed to Atlanta, & caught a flight to the Caribbean.
Uh- that dress?! G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!
Hope everyone enjoys their vacation this week and/or at least a great short work week! Oh- and to thank everyone for all of your amazing support throughout the year and celebrating the recent launch of my new Etsy shop, Oceanside Designs, I’ll be kicking off 12 Days of Christmas deals and discounts starting this Friday. I absolutely can’t wait!!
