They danced, in the middle of the Oak Grove on IUP’s campus to the sound of an acoustic guitar! No, we didn’t plan it, but it sure made for some awesome photos…sometimes you just have to go with it! Max, the guitarist was CRAZY TALENTED! I was listening to him while waiting on a bench for Jen and Hayden to arrive and I thought, THIS is going to make some awesome photos. We asked his permission and he filled the Oak Grove with tunes……and I got some awesome shots! Thanks again Max….ps: I’m loving the glasses! 🙂
Jen and Hayden met while attending IUP, so we went to the place that brought back lots of memories for two of them…..IUP. We had gorgeous weather, beautiful light bouncing off of all the buildings and fall leaves! We raced to get these shots before we lost the light….one huge downfall about winter fast approaching…less and less day light. I’m totally jealous of you west coast shooters and your gorgeous light all year long! I’ll be shooting their wedding in August next year and since they already know what to expect with the portraits because they had an engagement session, portraits on the wedding day will be a snap! 🙂
Jen, you are gorgeous…..and Hayden, you’re not soooo bad yourself! Jen….I hope you got that boy some McDonald’s! LOL
