Josh and Stephanie | After Wedding

After their wonderful wedding (which you can see here), Josh and Steph were hungry to capture more memories from their day. So after all the guests left the reception, the bridal party met at Coolidge Park. We had to move quickly because it had been raining on and off throughout the day and it certainly looked like it was going to rain again.

After this initial shot, the wedding party seemed to lack energy and were just going to pose for the camera. “Posing for the camera” doesn’t define this group of young energetic people, so I had to get them out of their shell.  Once I gave them “creative freedom” to run any of their crazy ideas past me, it got really fun really fast.  They were coming up with wild stuff and we decided to act on all of their ideas.  Here are some of my favorites!

Each guys’ personality came through here. I gave them basic instruction and turned them loose – and I love what came out of it!

Allow me to shed some light on this next picture: we decided to run in slow motion down the hill!

It was fun to watch the bride calmly watch the groomsmen nearly kill her new husband.  She had full faith in them. Such a fun series to photograph!

I love the contrast here: beautiful, classy ladies and a rusted, dilapidated staircase!
