Katie and Ian – After Wedding Session

Monday, March 9, 2009 at 11:05am Posted in trash the dress

Katie and Ian are such troopers!  The walked all over the train depot, sat in itchy weeds, dodged oncoming trains and avoided crazy men with shot guns!  It was an eventful shoot for sure!  We headed up to San Juan Capistrano to find some yummy light.

Katie and I met on a local chat board because we were both getting married around the same time.  Its been so fun getting to know her over the last year and share our experiences!

Shout out to Megan Tyson (916-267-4868) for the awesome job on Katie’s makeup!

We drove down the road and ended up at this gorgeous field of weeds, among other treasures!
