melissa + jordan

But aside from my extreme talent in embarrassing myself (Rich also tossed out a pretty epic one that I won't say on the blog... not because I don't enjoy embarrassing my lovely husbad, but because it was so something that should never have been admitted, I'd be embarrassed for him if you all knew the extreme measures to which he tried to rid himself of his acne as a teenager), our shoot with Melissa + Jordan was so rad. Anyone who has ever shot with us knows I have a really bad habit of intending on going somewhere to shoot and getting distracted by fifteen other things I want to shoot on the way, so poor Jordan was desperately trying to get me over to this super rad wall right from the start of our shoot, and we finally arrived there about an hour in. :) So, I'll start off this post with my favorite of Rich's from there...


This shot killed me when I first saw it just a couple minutes ago - freakin love it, hon.


On the shoot I believe I was sporting my giant Mickey Mouse hoodie,(hey, when you're the size of a house, you'll take what's warm and fits), a rainbow stripped hat, red plaid boots and purple gloves, which could be why Melissa and Jordan were laughing so much in these photos. I'm so fashionable! :)
But the light was stunning, M+J just killed their photos AND we got to shoot in an epic spot, so when it came time to whittle down our finished images for the ones we selected for this post, it was hard. Besides - I couldn't very well have a post where 7 of the 15 images were from the lichen wall, now could I? With all the other rad stuff? Seriously, selecting for the blog is tough! You can do it next time. :P




Seriously, you two - you guys were stunning!



We'll probably find a few interesting walls.













Anyway, I slid the disc into my laptop and WOW. It was a bunch of point-n-shoot stuff from our wedding and honeymoon. We didn't get the opportunity to purchase our wedding photos from our photographer (just six years ago, that was normal), so all we have outside of our album with 20 photos is the snapshots friends took. Even the crappiest, blurriest shot on whatever 1.3 megapixel POS made me smile the biggest smile I've had in while. Seeing what we were like just six years ago was amazing to me. I couldn't wait to show Murphy. I'm a nostalgic romantic for sure, and not everyone is built like me - but I love that I have those photos and, hell, I might even print a couple.
I hope, six or seven years from now, the stuff we're doing with couples now can have the same impact on them when they pull out their DVD or look at prints hanging on the wall. I think photographs of the people you love the most are incredibly important. We all change. Sometimes dramatically. As we get married and start lives together and maybe have kids, it changes before you even know it or can manage to process it at a million miles per hour. When you look back at a certain outfit or a certain haircut in a certain photograph maybe your wife had years before - man, it brings some really amazing feelings rushing back.
