First of all, just want to say that I am uber-excited about shooting Jessica & Jay’s wedding next year in St. Maarten in the Bahamas! Now what can I say about these two? Jessica was upbeat and ever so excited about the session, and Jay, well -let’s just say like any other guy wasn’t as fond of doing this as she was. The session was full of humidity, rain, sarcasm, and boats. We started off the session uptown, because they both work in buildings opposite from each other and is essentially where they first met. It was raining lightly. Or maybe the air was so thick with humidity it turned into mist? I don’t know. But I love the way they turned out, nonetheless. And I think I got a few good smiles out of Jay and some great moments between them two
Then we headed out to downtown Davidson to get a few shots before they jumped out of a boat into Lake Norman. Yea, you heard me.
Now off to Lake Norman. I snapped this while they were gettin’ their boat ready.
Love how they bickered with each other. Mainly because he didn’t want to jump in the boat and that it was all her idea. Of course I got a little blame because I’m the photographer and he thought maybe I had something to do with getting the “shot” or something. But I told him it wasn’t me!
He didn’t believe me, so he went crazy-style fast on the boat to the “jumping” location, disregarding what the wind would do to my hair. So he got me back. My bangs grew about 3 times the size from all the wet air that hit me in the face on the way.
So before the “jump” off the boat. I told them I wanted a couple of test shots before the real deal. Here are a few test shots just before the jump that I thought were hilarious.
Now here is a series from the jump into the water. Now keep in mind, I was trying to keep my balance on the boat and also trying to keep the back of the boat out of the picture too. Their facial expressions are hilarious. Especially Jay’s
See you two in St. Maarten!
