When we saw John and Dalisa this past summer, John mentioned that he has always wanted to photograph a pregnant bride.  Knowing John’s affinity for the bizarre, I asked “so are we talking totally redneck/white trash kind of pregnant bride?”  Yes and more was the answer! :o)  Sean and I promptly volunteered to be John’s guinea pigs for his latest vision.  We are Tennesseans after all and who knows the ways of the redneck better??

Here’s a quick sneak peek.  If you want to see more, go check them out on the AltF Blog.  Picture big hair, frosted lipstick, a powder blue tux, and the preferred beer of Nascar…

Thanks for inviting us out to play you guys!  We had a blast and the resulting images are too much fun!

    Holy blue tuxedo, Batman! This is the most amazing picture ever! It’s official– Andrew and I will never be as cool as the McLellans.

    My family is wondering why I am chuckling so much at the computer. This is awesome! The expressions, the wardrobe, the hair, the “tin can”…all are amazing!

    That tux is so pimp! It reminds me of the one that Jeff Daniels wore in “Dumb and Dumber.” I love it!

    hahaha! Thanks Tara! We’re just trying to be as cool as you guys! Jane – you are too cute. :o) Thank you! I’m guessing Frazier has got to be Brian and not Sharon since I’m pretty sure Sharon doesn’t use “pimp” as an everyday descriptive word. ;o) Isn’t that fun?? I can’t believe they still had one in the store. Only in Vegas! Hey Marcia! Thank you! We’d love ot see you soon! Mindy and Phil – we told you they were crazy huh?? haha! :o)

    wowsa! … ok that’s about all I have to say about that. Mel, your hair is getting so long! Love it. You need a re-shoot once the little man shows up. Beer, the trailer, cut-off shorts, and a baby on the hip.
