Underwater Engagement Session Wilmington NC // Melissa and Brett (part 2)

 Posted on September 22, 2011      by Eric

This was an idea that I’ve had in my head for a while now!  I’m by no means the first person to think of tying the idea of getting married to ‘taking the plunge’ or ‘jumping in’ to a body of water, but boy was it fun to try to pull off!  Brett and Melissa were so awesome to work with.  When I pitched the idea to them, I really hoped they would take me up on it, although I had an inkling that they would… (we’re shooting their wedding in a few weeks, and part of their wedding package includes a trash-the-dress surf session the day after the wedding!)  After an amazing morning of shooting beneath ancient Live Oak trees and Spanish Moss this was such a great way finish the day.  For this part of the shoot I played director more than anything, with my good friend and fellow EBP photographer/videographer Jason Andre getting all of the underwater action.  My in-laws were gracious enough to allow us free reign of their property and pool.  From the very beginning, I had this picture in my mind of Melissa and Brett kissing in front of the single pool light, back-lit, and serene… we had to wait until nightfall to get it, but it paid off!  Let me know what you think in the comments section below!

I know this may sound completely random, but I happened to stumble upon your blog from cycling through some of the featured photos on the GoPro Facebook page, and wow – am I ever happy that I did! All of your work is quite impressive! The themes you chose for this engagement session and the underwater captures are phenomenal. I’ve recently started to dabble in photography, and I just wanted to say that your work is inspiring. And I know this may not mean much, but you’ve got yourself a new fan from Canada! Keep up the great work!
