Sonja & Matt's 1-Year Anniversary Photo Session - Jacksonville, FL Photographer

I've been anxious to showcase this lovely couple in my blog ever since Sonja contacted me to have a photo-shoot somewhere there is a barn :) Immediately, I thought of the cornfield where I did a trash the wedding dress session about two years ago. I was in Waynesville/Asheville, NC area a couple of weeks before our session, and everywhere I turned made me think of Sonja and Matt because there were tons of barns, cornfields and cows grazing on the meadows.

We've all been looking forward to our Oct. 24th session, and it was so much fun working with them two :) It was projected to rain on that day, and it had been very cold earlier that week, luckily, it turned out to be sunny and warm during our photo-shoot. I have to give props to Matt for being the sweetest hubby to Sonja and sucked it up by wearing a thick sweater at the session. To top it off, it was Kid's Day on that Saturday at Conner's A-Maize-ing Acres, and it was soooo crowded! That didn't stop Sonja & Matt to have fun and kiss in front of the crowd :)

You guys rock! Thank you for letting me capture this eventful photo-shoot :)

Beautiful Hana Trashing Her Dress Country-style!

God is so awesome to bless us with good weather and lighting two weeks ago at the Conner's A-Maize-ing Acres. He just knows how to plan things well! I originally was going to have a trash-the-dress session with one of my brides back in June, Brandy...but something came up that she had to cancel a couple of days before the shoot. Wonderful Hana who goes to Celebration Church with us and actually the group leader for our "Marriage on the Rock" class agreed to trash for me at the last minute...and we all had a wonderful time that Saturday!

I had tons of fun doing my photoshoot on Mrs. Hana Hunter as she trashes her wedding dress country-style. Thank you, Hana--you are a beautiful bride of God! I also want to give a special shout-out of thanks to the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Conner for welcoming us to their "a-maize-ing" cornfield. They're awesome Christian people and seriously, ya'll should check out the place! Thanks to Brenda Bush for helping me coordinate the photo session. Margie, you know what you did--thank you! Lastly, thank you to my wonderful husband, Bobby, for being my "camera-bag boy." He helped me carry my heavy camera bag and arranged Hana's dress for me. Bobby was such a great trash-the-dress publicist to everyone that asked him what was going on when they saw Hana laying all over the hay and getting her dress dirty.
