these cats have been blessed with great weather x2- first for their early february wedding with 60 degrees and sunshine and second for their after session friday afternoon.

liz and rob, thanks for doing everything i asked!  you guys rocked out!

i dig after shoots (a.k.a. trash the dress minus the "trashing").  they rock.  we started at turtle park and then moved on to the graffiti wall and our top secret north side locations.

UPDATE:  thanks, rob, for reminding me about the pimp car!  how could i forget to mention that????  as we were driving up our secret, undisclosed street, we saw this shiny, candy apple red pimpness with two equally pimp guys sitting in it.  we kept driving toward the gas station.  when we passed back by, it was still there.  i slowed down and almost stopped in the middle of the road as i tried to get a feel for whether or not liz and rob would be up for stopping.  and THEY WERE!  i parked the car, got out and walked over.  i was almost swallowed up by a pot cloud, but i mentioned that i had a crazy question.  i am a wedding photographer...we love your car...can we take a few pictures...you sure can.  WOOHOO!  the car owner congratulated liz and rob and then the two men just disappeared while we shot a few frames.  you'll have to view the slideshow for the results.

i've been eying this abandoned gas station for a long, long while.  i was thrilled to finally make use of it!

each nook and cranny of this warehouse brought another ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh, omg, i LOVE this.

and their fabulous slideshow!
