When I heard it was going to snow on the cherry blossoms, which only bloom for a little bit of time each year (and generally long after it’s stopped snowing), I got very, very excited.  When I couldn’t convince any of my friends or clients to get out this morning, I decided to go myself.  Sometimes you have to be your own bride.

In the end, I was glad I couldn’t talk anyone into it because the one inch we were supposed to get was far closer to a dusting and had melted off by the time we got down there at 9am.  My vision was dashed and the sun was out – not what I had in mind!  But since we were out there in our wedding gear, we decided to go for it anyway.

To get my husband in the shot, we set up a tripod and used my remote.  One of my best (and cheapest) photography investments.

We’ve got about one week left of cherry blossoms before this show hits the road for one more year. If you’d like to schedule a portrait or bridal session, get in touch with me now!
