{The one} where we swim…

This gorgeous woman is one my Boudoir clients.  She recently got married in Chicago, and so I told her when she got back we had to do a “day after” session.  Well, three months later, and quite a few dress obstacles, and we finally did.  Of course, we had no intentions of “trashing” her dress, I mean it was a Vera Wang, who would trash that? Well, it ends up the dry cleaner did, and shrunk it 4 inches! Fortunately, after our session, the dry cleaner said he could stretch the dress and make it look like new- and that was after she jumped into the pool at One Ocean during our “Day After”.

If you have not been to One Ocean yet, you are really missing out- Its UNBELIEVABLE! Its where the old Sea Turtle used to be, in Atlantic beach, and the re-did the entire hotel- Magnificent to say the least.  But even better than that is the wonderful staff.  Each person we encountered while there was beyond accommodating! From the special Events coordinator, Hetty Ubilla,  to James Manual at the front desk, we were truly treated like Rock Stars! It was fabulous!

Loren and I started on the beach before the rain came

Then we went back into the hotel for some shots

Then we headed out to their gorgeous patio area, and took a few…

Oh yes, she jumped into the pool…

And then we took a few after she Trashed the Vera…

This session was one of the most fun I have done.  Thank you Loren for being up for anything, including swimming! You are such a beautiful person, on the inside as much as the outside, and it has been a true blessing to work with you this year.  Chicago is lucky to get you back, and Jacksonville, soryy to lose you!

Thank to One Ocean for the incredible back drop and staff, it was the perfect location!.  And, a special thank you to Lynette at Rose of Sharon for the bouquet, it was perfect!
