A Day with the Kellys

We visited Melody, Kendall, and Jared last Saturday and had the best time. I love these guys so much.

Kim & Jeremy - Trash the Dress!

We. love. Kim and Jeremy. We met them through our friend Rob, and we can't get enough of them. You may remember our Stunt Doubles post from last November where I listed the things we have in common with them (everything's still the same - except we no longer shoot Nikon!) Kim and I had been corresponding about doing a Trash the Dress session for awhile, so I was happy that we finally decided on a date and could start scouting locations. Thankfully, they live in Baltimore, so there's character everywhere you look...it provided the perfect backdrop.

Kim looked elegant and gorgeous in her wedding dress, and Jeremy looked dapper and hip in his suit and Vans. We started out at their fabulous row home and took some shots in the backyard with their cute doggies, Emily and Petie. Then we headed down the block for some more awesome locations, which included a barbed wire fence and train tracks (we had to climb up some huge steps to get there - I don't like heights, but it was so worth the shakiness I endured :) It started to rain when we were up there, so we jumped in the car and headed to Hampden. Luckily the rain stopped and we were able to get some hilarious shots of them jumping in front of a recreation center mural. Then we decided to hit up the Honfest, which was SO FUN! Kim & Jeremy were showered with attention from all the festival go-ers...we got shots of them with a bunch of Hons and then ducked into an alley for some sweet shots of just the two of them. To end the day, we drove to Mount Vernon and they jumped in one of the fountains. It was pretty much a perfect day. They were open to all of our crazy ideas and we never heard one complaint from them! What I love about all of this is Kim plans on donating her dress, which is such a great thing to do. I encourage all brides to have some fun in their dress after the wedding and then give it to charity. She has inspired me to do the same (as soon as I can get back in shape to fit into my dress!)

I'm also addicted to Kim's blog, My So-Called Wedded Life. She's an amazing writer and always has entertaining stories. You must check it out. She and Jeremy are also going to start a photo blog soon, so watch out for that! They're both VERY talented behind the lens and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them and their photography. Bookmark her now!

So here are our favorites from the day...and you can view their slideshow HERE!

A-a-a-a-and...we wiped them out. Mission accomplished :)

I know I've already said it, but you must check out their slideshow. It's only 2 minutes and 17 seconds long, and we packed in over a hundred images. **CLICK HERE** to view the KJ goodness!
