This is by far the coolest thing we’ve done lately and I know we’ve blogged couples like this before, but since then I’ve given it a bit more thought…and I LOVE IT!

Over the past couple of months we’ve had several brides approach us asking if we do “Post Wedding Photos” i.e. the bride gets back into her dress and the groom all suited up, and we go to a few places and get some fun, relaxed, and romantic images of the just the two of them. No time restrictions rushing them to get to a reception, no coordinators tapping their foot waiting for the photos to end; no stress at all! I think this is the most fun thing to do, and while some may call it a “Day After” session or a “Post Wedding Shoot”….we just call it an excuse! What bride doesn’t want to relive the feeling of getting her hair and makeup done and sliding into the dress she wore on one of the happiest days of her life? To top it all off, she gets amazing photos and that feeling of being a bride at least one more time!

So to answer all of our already married audience’s questions, this is so much fun, makes an amazing gift (guys you get MAJOR brownie points), and your wife will be glowing and smiling from ear to ear…trust us…we’ve done this too!

Our latest glowing bride was Cathy, who after seeing our session with Henry and Betty wanted the same experience! Her husband Long, scored some major brownie points and was the arm candy for the afternoon; he was a stud! Both could not have been any sweeter and we are so anxious to share a few of our favorite photos! We hope you enjoy!

** If you are looking for an “excuse” to get back in that dress, let us know! We’d love to get you even more amazing wedding portraits…we have a great time! Leave us a comment with your information or email us at info@gavinwadephoto.com **

We’d talked about it. But for sometime down the line, say a year or so from now.

It wasn’t anything serious. We started looking because honestly, who doesn’t like to be around puppies? Harmless enough, right?

Well before we knew it we were bringing home a little floppy-eared ball of heart-melting cuteness! We wanted to make sure we did our due diligence before leaping into such a responsibility, and spent 9 hours going around to various breeders, shelters, and homes looking for the perfect fit for our family.

Lo and behold, we returned that night with Ella (El-la), a Mal-Shih, and we are so thankful to have her! From moment one, we knew that there was something special about her, and she has been the most amazing pup! We can’t wait to share the joys, sleepless nights, and comedy that inevitably comes with being new puppy parents!

Ella hadn’t even been home for an hour before we had to bust out the camera and do our first (but definitely not last) photoshoot with our little fur ball! Don’t worry, we’ll find better light than our kitchen for her next close up…but for now we just had to share the good news!

World…meet Ella
