Trash the Dress…Engagement Style!

Photo shoot #3 on Sunday was at the Indianapolis Sailing Club! We met up with Katy & Clay (who are huge blog stalkers of ours) 🙂 to shoot their engagement session with their adorable dog Toby! Toby is quite famous, he now has his own FaceBook page and you can friend request him HERE. 😉 (not kidding) LOL Toby’s mom and dad are getting married out of state next year and are going for a nautical themed wedding since they LOVE the water…and since Indiana is a bit land locked, they thought Geist was the perfect option for a photo shoot! 🙂 When we arrived, Katy surprised each of us with a box of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies too….she is soooo sweet!!

In love…. 🙂

Love this one with her flip flops in the foreground…

Katy is so adorable, she has a million different expressions, I loved it! Check out this sequence…

LOVE THIS!!!

Who knows WHAT he said to evoke this reaction!??! LOL

Check out their save-the-date shots!

OK, this has to be the funniest sequence of photos EVER…they were all taken within about a nanosecond of one another…Toby was sooo hot and he just looked miserable. Katy was trying to coax him in the water to get wet and cool off. So here I am, focusing on the dog (who loves to drink fresh water but doesn’t like getting in lakes supposedly) ….and Katy has his leash and he does NOT want to get in…

Then a split second later, I hear “aghhhh!” and the leash goes flying…notice no one is on the other end of the leash! LOL

And Katy fell in the reservoir! LOL So yeah, it quickly turned into a trash the dress session! 🙂 I love how Toby is just staring at her and it looks like he actually wants to come to her rescue at first!

Or maybe not…LOL

Her face was priceless! Then Toby decided maybe this whole water thing wasn’t so bad…especially since mom jumped in!

WET DOG!! 🙂

SO CUTE!!!

LOL!! Loved his face…so funny!

So then Clay decides to join them…and Toby swims right through his legs…

I think this should be your Christmas card photo you guys! No one else would have anything like it! LOL

So things begin to get even funnier…Clay tried to help her back to the shoreline and instead, they both fell in again. The slope was filled with slimy algae that was really slippery…

Did I mention she had her hair & make-up professionally done before this shoot?? Oops! LOL 🙂

Toby is LOVING it at this point!

So Katy starts splashing water on him…

I love Toby’s face, he’s like “what?!” LOL

We finally got all 3 of them out of the water so I sent John to get our emergency kit…he found our extra towels, hair dryer and women’s underwear…yes, we have almost anything you can imagine with us…just in case! 😉

Katy told me last week that Toby LOVES the hair dryer, so this was pretty fitting for the occasion. Doesn’t he look like he’s smiling here?! 🙂

Once they changed clothes, we continued the rest of their shoot ….on dry land this time… 😉

FAVORITE!!

LOVE this one too, doesn’t it look like a magazine ad with her hair flying in the wind?!

Toby’s turn…. 🙂

Thanks for such an awesome time you guys!! I think we started a new “trash the dress” trend…anyone else want to do this?!?! 🙂
