photo – Just a Girl Photography

We are usually a wedding blog, but more importantly, a photography based wedding blog. However, sometimes we like to take a step back and look at couples from all walks of life. From high school loves to 50 year anniversaries, our goal is to be able to photograph couples in every stage. So this week we are giving you a break from your regularly scheduled wedding content, and taking it back to a time most of us adults sometimes wish we could return to. High School Homecoming…

This week while Josh had the unfortunate duty of mandatory over time, I picked up the camera, returned to my hometown and once again participated in the pre-dinner homecoming ritual that is picture/portrait time, where the tradition for getting fancy and going out as a couple started for most of us. 🙂

Location: La Cita Golf & Country Club Titusville, Fl

For now, that is all

Wedding Highlight #2

Summer Weddings, can be both a blessing and a curse. Typically, here in Florida they would be a curse, especially with an outdoor wedding. It was way too hot, humid, and unpleasant, which is why when I was asked to go back to Utah to shoot yet another Utah wedding my immediate answer was Yes! (Even if that wasn’t Josh’s exact response :P)

Starting from the beginning the wedding was untraditional. Most of my brides are the traditional “I want him to see me at the altar and get his true reaction” type brides, this wedding however gave me a whole new challenge. First look photos that will be ready to be printed for the wedding the next day. We arrived, we shot a whole day of getting ready and first look/bridals, and I made sure those photos were edited and ready by the next morning…..even if it meant editing in the back of a car on an hour long ride.

First Look & Bridals:

The first look was stressful, but I adored it, I honestly wish there were more locations like this here in Florida. 🙂

Going into the wedding day, things were stressful, but thankfully Josh and I could kind of relax until the ceremony started. We got a chance to enjoy our time in Utah, at least for a little while. Backyard weddings have a certain sort of whimsical element to them, and that was the essence we tried to capture while working on the details before the wedding.

Details:

With the details out of the way, it was time to start the ceremony. Without really any vantage point to shoot from this time around, I had to find my groove. So, I decided to try something completely different. I decided to move around the small ceremony space to capture the intimate, sentimental ceremony from all angles (Actually, where our now staple dual angle perspective came from)

Ceremony:

A beautiful ceremony officiated by the one and only Christine G (Also my and the brides grandma), the night quickly moved into the reception and family formals. Unlike the typical wedding with a sit down dinner, this crew was ready to party the night away from the minute the newlyweds said “I do”!
