Five BEAUTIFUL women, all life-long friends, had gotten married within the last couple of years. As I was photographing Terese&#8217;s wedding this past summer, I heard about their wishes to all get in their dresses one last time, for a few fun photographs&#8230;and the idea took flight from there!<\/p>\n<p>So I posted around in some photographer forums seeing who would be interested in joining me, and got 7 of us together to travel to St. Joseph, Michigan for the day! We all shared our knowledge with each other, froze our behinds off (Late October on the beach&#8230;but these girls were troopers and up for anything!), and had MORE than a couple laughs with our gorgeous models&#8230;and their moms! (traveling stylists?)<\/p>\n<p>Here are a collection of my favourites from the day. I will put up my shots first, and then in a separate post, I will spotlight some of the work from the other photographers who came to shoot alongside me!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all of the photographers who came along, and the Five beautiful brides who hopefully have a day (and photos) they will remember and treasure for the rest of their lives!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
