Alli & Joe....A little unusual!

Alli and Joe are different...and we love different!  At the consultation I remember throwing at engagement session ideas and a cemetery shoot has been at the top of my list along with the library shoot we just did.  Joe loved the idea from the start and Alli, with her love of skeletons and trench coats said she was game too!  We set our sites on Greenwood Cemetery in Downtown Orlando, one of Florida's oldest cemeteries.  Since the couple is having a summer wedding I went with our rule of opposites and planned the shoot for winter in Florida.  We were hoping for cold weather and lots of browns and tans to work as our backdrop.  We actually ended up with temps in the 40's (for Florida that's cold) and we really enjoyed our time with this couple!  Alli's gorgeous red hair and Joe's cool guy swag really made everything pop!  These shots are just some of the great ones...we did include a series we have of Alli (a former dance team member) who said she was having trouble not doing spirit fingers and cheesy smiles...we worked with her...got her to laugh and she did great the rest of the shoot.  Joe...he just showed up :)  We paid our respects to the deep history of the cemetery and made sure we followed the rules!

We worked with our frame again (an idea now requested by many couples since our first time using it with Mike and Dawn in August).  Each time we use it we try to do a different spin on it...and this one came out great too!!

Two Great Reviews

We really wanted to share two reviews from some recent clients...both made me cry...Bill smiled...like I said I'm the emotional one!!  So Amy shared this with us and we wanted to share it with YOU..but for such a beautiful family and autumn themed wedding everything came together so perfectly!! 

"where do i start on writing a review for thirteenth moon? If you don't hire thirteenth moon for your photographs, u are out of your mind! I have never done business with anyone, anywhere who has done a better job than this company did! First off anytime i had the silliest or stupidest of questions they responded back to me right away. They came all the way to Ohio to do our wedding start to finish.... Looking back on the day I would whole heartedly say that all you have left to remember your important moments in your life are either etched in your mind, captured on video or in photographs. Having been through my wedding day now I would say the only way I am able to remember it is through the photographs. The day truly is a bustle and blur of activity. I would recommend to any Bride and groom that your most important vendor is the photographer! The music only lasts for so long, the food digests in 24 hours, the flowers wilt away, and the dress gets put in storage. But what i do have left are wonderful photos. I don't care how poor you are, I would definitely recommend that if anything you splurge on the pictures! Rachel and Bill where there to run every moment of the show with the use of their walkie talkies they made sure that the groom and I never saw each other even though we were in the same vicinity. They are very creative and unique. As one of my friends put it after seeing some of my wedding photographs, he said you look like you are in a wedding magazine! I feel this team far out shines any magazine, and you will not be disappointed. They have actually exceeded any expectations I could have ever had. Thank you so much thirteenth moon photography for capturing an incredible moment i our life! Love the Woodys 9-17-2011"

And for Mrs. Enquist and her new husband, Nick... the bride wrote a general thank you to many of the people in her life but really highlighted us and what we did for her.  As with every client we feel like family and we do everything we can to be there for everyone...but it's always nice to hear "thank you"!  Even though the day was HOT, HOT, HOT (back in Florida) Alley and Nick's Gothic themed Alice in Wonderland wedding was fun and memorable!
