It was unseasonably cold in Northern California and I was really looking forward to a Trash the Dress session with Michelle in sunny, warm Florida. Well, it was sunny – but freezing! Michelle was great – if I hadn’t been there I couldn’t even tell it was freezing cold.
Here are some of the shots I got with Michelle. You can check out Michelle’s blog here.
Sometimes opportunity just arises. While shooting a hotel cart drove by. The driver was very friendly and offered to join in the shoot!
We discovered a restaurant on the hotel grounds and went inside to warm up. Then we saw this window with the palm tree outside and had to try a shot.
After warming up, Michelle went into hotel fountain. The water was so loud she couldn’t hear anything. So, she just started posing. She did great!
Behind Michelle and the white tile is another layer of the fountain. We figured it would be a few inches deep so she stepped into it to be near the glass wall. It was actually about four feet deep!! Michelle sank up to her chest in the cold water, but she didn’t blink – she just climbed out and kept on posing!
It was really a pleasure to meet and work with Michelle. She is one of the many new friends I made in Tampa!
