Beth + Brad | Engaged
This session will definitely go down in the MVP history books as one of the most memorable. We met up with Beth and Brad on a beautiful Sunday morning last September. These two are down-to-earth and so much fun, and we couldn't wait to start taking pictures of them. As soon as I pulled my camera out to adjust my settings, I heard what sounded like water leaking from a roof and then felt hard, wet drops on my head and back. I looked up and realized a HUGE bird had pooped on me! Click here to see just how big this creature was. Beth put it perfectly, "it was like a waterfall of poop!" I could not believe a bird went to the bathroom on me before the session even started! For those who don't know me well, things like this completely freak me out. Beth and Brad were so patient and understanding while I ran away to clean myself up in a nearby bathroom. Beth even gave me one of her ponytail holders so I could put my smelly hair up - another reason why I love this couple so much. After I cleaned up and regained my composure, we started shooting!
We took a few shots around the Pier V Hotel (where they're getting married today!) and then made our way to the streets of Canton. Thanks to Brad's awesome connections, we were able to take some shots inside Mama's on the Half Shell and try their famous Orange Crush drink for the first time - it was delish! And then we headed over to Bo Brooks where Brad knew more people, and we were able to get some fun shots of him and Beth behind the outdoor bar. It was the perfect ending to their session! A big thank you to Beth's brother Jeff (who works with our friend Kim) for referring them to us! We can't wait for their wedding today!

Beautiful pictures!!! Don't worry Maria, in many cultures getting pooped on is GOOD luck. I think that this means you just have a lot of good luck headed your way! Google "bird poop" and "good luck" and you will see your good fortune :)
These pictures are amazing Maria! We had so much fun on Sunday with you and Drew and we can't thank you enough for capturing the most special day of our lives so beautifully! Thank goodness the pesky bird was MIA this weekend :)
I've always heard a bird pooping on you is good luck. :-) Sooooo... it seems to have worked out because the pictures are awesome! (as always!)
Hola Maria! Small world...Beth and I work for the same company. :-) I JUST sent your website address to a friend of mine at SSA. She is just getting into photography and I told her she has to check our your blog. I saw this post and said, "HEY - I know who that is!" Beautiful pictures!
