Ali and Brandon get dirty! - 06.05.10

We have absolutely wonderful timing when it comes to weather. The story starts out harmlessly enough, we did not have a wedding scheduled for the weekend of June 5th so we decided to just have a fun photo session for the heck of it. We invited Brandon and Ali, who were married last year, to head out to Maumee Bay for a Trash the Dress session. We also brought out Dawn from Marshall Photography as well as Merin and Joe. Merin was also kind enough to document some of the behind the scenes action for us. Unbeknown to us though, a giant storm was rapidly rushing towards us that would eventually drop tornadoes all over Northwest Ohio. All in all the shoot was absolutely awesome, and the threatening sky added a very dramatic backdrop to all of the images we captured. As the shoot wrapped though, the weather rolled in, and Joe and I had a very tense 45 minute drive back to Whitehouse Ohio, which involved literally driving through the heart of the storm, and running over a median. It was quite the evening. Anyways, check out the recap from the shoot below! Plus you can check out the entire gallery right HERE!



The shoot started out great, with beautiful clouds floating over the lake...

Here Joe assists in handling our lighting rig as we grab a few shots of Ali down by the waters edge...

We then moved on to a quick series in the field...

And finished up with a nice dramatic series in the water and on the beach as the dark clouds came rolling in....
