As a photographer, I get these ideas in my head.  A lot of times they take years to actually be put to use.  In the meantime, they hang around in my notebook or in my folder full of magazine tear outs.  For years, I have wanted to put together this vintage-esque shoot around the vintage arcade.  Alyssa contacted me because she and Derek were friends of a near and dear client to me.  They had just had a small intimate wedding and wanted to have some pictures done.  Imagine my enthusiasm when she told me she had a short white dress with Red Cowboy Boots.  Yeah, I LOVE IT!  So, Alyssa and Derek worked it out for me, made some of my photo dreams come true, and beared the first taste of winter with me.  They are an incredible couple who have been together since High School.  They look at each other with shear joy and happiness … which I am thrilled to have captured on film :)  Alyssa and Derek, thank you!  You two are FABULOUS and I had such a blast with you!  Congratulations on your wedding!  Hugs!
