Playing with color~

Could this weather be more beautiful? After yard work, car washings, dog washings, and a good shower myself, I found the need to go for a drive.
I am never without my camera, because you just don't know what you might see and I don't want to miss a thing if I can help it. I was actually scouting for locations for an engagement shoot that I have tomorrow when I came across the most colorful of buildings. I walked the grounds wanting to take pictures of everything, but its the weekend and it was packed. Note to self: go on the weekday when its not so crowded!!!
They say that a true artist can find and capture light and beauty in every subject matter... that's the reason why I take so many pictures!
Enjoy...

Trash the Dress!!!

Picture this... it's late afternoon. A bride and groom celebrating their new union. The ceremony was moving, the reception... long. Now, as the sun sets on another glorious wedding day, the happy couple take a moment to be alone as they drive off into their future.

It's 4 hours later and on a back alley they find themselves lost. The engine is overheating and so is the groom. They get out to address the issue when things get hot, steamy... greasy???
By the time it is all said and done they are minus one white dress, one designer tux, and a whole lot of oil.
Thanks for the fabulous "Trash the Dress" session Crystal & Daniel. I couldn't imagine a better couple to go play with on a Sunday afternoon~
Enjoy your images!!!
