Aaron and I have been pretty seriously throwing around the idea of starting a photography business when we eventually move back to the US. How could we possibly work an 8-5 office job after all the freedom we've had for the past 3 1/2 years! Plus, we love the creativity of photography, and would rather be together than not during the day, so why not try doing something we love, and do it together, right?!
We're pretty sure we'll end up settling in Charleston, SC, and lucky for us, there happens to be a good market for wedding photography in that area! With that said, we figured we'd get our feet wet (literally) and get a little practice in. Our sweet friends Ashley and Adam allowed us to do a couple's photoshoot with them for 2 1/2 hours! Hey, free photo's for them, free practice for us! It's a win win!
We decided to meet up at Da Daepo Beach, on the west end of Busan. Pretty, right?!
I ended up being more of an artistic director, while Aaron snapped photos, which was really fun for me and actually more my speed! I did, however, snap a few of my own little behind the scenes photos, just for kicks! These solo shots of Adam (& later Ashley) turned out REALLY stunning!
You'll have to wait to see those though! SORRY!
They were so fun to work with! Neither of them had ever done something like this, but with a little direction, they were total pros!
Aaron climbed up on this huge rock to get them from above. (Another EPIC pic that you'll have to wait on!)
Oh yes, there was a dirty dancing move!
Lots of laughing was involved in making this one work! The final photo is really cool! They look like couple ice skaters that just happen to be practicing their lifts on the beach! ***
I'm not sure I'd be as brave as Ash! Props to these two!

I snapped this one while Aaron was changing his lens! How great is this heart rock that Aaron found as we were walking along the beach!
More behind the scenes of Ashley and Adam...
I had to get in a little artistic shot between giving directions to the gorgeous couple! :)
The sun was setting perfectly in front of them as we were working on this shot. The one Aaron got of them kissing with the sun between them makes me practically drool!
Another fun one that I caught between positioning them!
Aaron's going to be working on putting together a little photography blog for us in the next week or so, so you can check there to see the final pics! I'll keep you posted when it's up and running!
HUGE thank you to Adam and Ashley for being our guinea pigs! You guys were AWESOME!
