The date was September 15, 2012 and I finally got Trista & Joey in front of my camera lens. I had been planning a themed couple session for months and spent a lot of time finding models, the location that fit the vision I saw in my head, the perfect pair of wings...even the perfect outfits for my models. Though there had been a couple of set backs on the session date, it was finally here and I was beyond excited! This was something I had wanted to do for so long and it was finally happening!
Trista & Joey were awesome! They were more than I expected and so much fun! It was the first time having a guy in front my camera that took dictation so well and was willing to go along with everything I said even if it sounded silly! The two spent a lot of time literally acting out specific scenes as I photographed them in sequence...dancing with them in a sense...capturing the story as it actually happened. It was a bit windy, a bit cold and a lot brighter that day than I would have hoped for, but I made the best of the situation and totally love the result! :)
I had initially started the idea as a love story. A forbidden love that forces them to run away together, but something goes terribly wrong. I began writing this love story and even tried working in a few details of Trista & Joey's real-life love story....but as I finished working on the album, it became clear to me that words were not needed. The images were so beautiful and moving. They were a dream to edit. The images truly spoke to me and I hope they do for you as well. Take a moment to look through these breath-taking images and then just close you eyes and take a deep breath. Image the story in your mind. This can be your story...
The End...
I want to thank Trista & Joey again for volunteering to help me create this story! You two seriously rocked it! I hope to do more themed sessions this year...get really creative and inspired and help write someone else's love story. The perfect session for an engagement...hint...hint...hint <3
