Most days, during the summer I refuse to join the world till about 10 am. This is a personal choice and it may not work for you but it makes Collettie very happy. (ps In my defense I stay up till 3am). But the last few days I have had to get up at, are you ready for this... 7am! It's a very disgusting time! (ps.. I was still going to bed at 3am cause why would I compensate knowing I had to get up early).
So yesterday was one of those get up early days.. cause it was a marathon of a day! First, I had to LEAVE the house by 8am(gasp!). So at 7:45 I rolled out of bed, (my alarm went off at 7 but Hey, that's what snooze buttons are for!). I get to the door and low and behold the best assistant is there with a Dr. Pepper (no ice)! Ahhh the breakfast of champions!
And we were off.. first on the list was Cypress Gardens.. this is also where the boat scene was filmed for the movie 'The Notebook'. Twenty minutes into the car ride I finally woke up!
So here is the deal, You have to row your own boat merrily down the stream. Well yeah I cant row the boat. I have tried, I went in a circle... Hence "the Chad". So my super cute couple is in the boat in front and Chad, myself and the Canons are in the next one.
The shoot went great.. lots of laughs! The groom to be is rocking the boat for bride to be though at one point so hard I am considering making couples now sign a "Collette Mruk will not be responsible for the end of your engagement due to groom tipping over boats and bride being eaten by gators." (this didn't happen just thinking of the 'what if's'!
So Chad and I turn to head back to dry land (insert picture of me kissing ground when we arrive) and this is when the first beauty of the day is shot.... as we leave our super cute couple on the lake Chad decides to set the mood:
So in case you can't tell.. we are a bit crazy here at Collette Mruk Photography!
As soon as this session ended we were off to the next. We were shooting the appearance of Guy Harvey at Palmetto Moon. Of course i had one mission to accomplish there.. I wanted a picture with him with both Chad and I turned around pointing to our shirts.....
It started normal (we don't let um see our crazy right out the gate)
Than it was time.. we knew what we were doing but no one else.... I failed... Epically!
Dear Collette.. while the back of your head is ridiculous... this was not the pic we needed!
Oh well its time to head to the next:
The shoot with Noel... Now I wasn't expecting some crazy but we let our freak flags fly high! There aren't proper words for what went down all I can do is show the pics...
Planking!
Superman on the random chair
LOL.. We love Noel!
This is an abandoned building and honestly I don't want to know what else lives in that hole!
Reminds me of the 1980's super glue commercial
Don't block the ramp!
Umm yeah... Almost pee'd my pants for this one.. this is the last shot of the day!
So in the end... I love super busy crazy days! Most people are not as lucky as me! I have a wonderful hubbie who listens to me while miles away talk about all my fun and goofy times! A great assistant who joins in and waves his own crazy flag! And clients who make me laugh and smile with every outing and shot!
And.. last but not least I now promise to have a video of Collette Mruk Photography.. teaching you 'How to Dougie' from our next wedding... stay tuned.. Fun times, amazing clients and good laughs will definitely continue!
