An Orchard Morning

Catherine's wedding day was almost eight years ago, but you wouldn't know it from looking at these photographs; her dress fits like she picked it out yesterday! A few days prior to her Trash The Dress session, we excitedly discussed our plans for a sunrise photoshoot in a local apple orchard!

As a michigan resident, I love living here! I love all of the seasons and the quite unpredictable weather. As a photographer...I still love living here. There are so many options for backdrops to a photo session! All you need to do is travel 30 minutes and you can go from a forest to a beach! BUT, it can be very frustrating that a clear weather forecast for the next morning can change while I am sleeping!
So, Catherine and I did not get our beautiful sunrise, but the clouded morning cast a dreamlike lighting that translated amazingly into another wonderful photoshoot!

I photograph Catherine's children constantly, but have only had a few opportunities to catch her on film, so this was a treat for me! 

AND then there were these boots...

(so we walked them across the road to the woods)

We couldn't resist these last two shots, you know, being in an apple orchard and all...
