Weird, Wacky Places and Ways I want to Shoot Wedding Portraits

A list for brides who don't mind getting dirty:

A laundromat
A mom and pop grocery
On a stoop eating ice cream cones
The hot dog cart by the Orpheum Theatre
Surrounded by Peacocks
Jumping into a pool
Underwater? YES! underwater (preferably a destination wedding in the Carribean)
On a motorcycle
Skateboards, anyone?
Playing on Railroad Tracks (oh yeah, been there, done that)
Lying on the ground with puppies, lots of puppies...
Dogwalking really alot of dogs
Playing in the snow


...what's the most insane place or way you'd like to have a series of your wedding portraits done? What kind of ideas do you have?

Dan and Danielle had a wonderful wedding in Downtown Phoenix at Bentley Projects.

Liz and Rich did it! Another beautiful wedding at Boojum Tree!

I'm so excited! I finally have my blog on my website!

My good friend Jefferson Todd gave a little talk on blogging that convinced me that I could create this on my site and he was right. Thanks JT!
