So I told my awesome wedding photographer, Montage Photographers, my vision on what I was looking for and he totally delivered!! The weather was not very ideal. There wasn't any sun light and mainly it just very cloudy. Luckily there was no rain. Thank goodness! I really want to take pictures in an open field. We found a development behind Old Town Spring. There were some gorgeous houses back there, but there were also alot of open fields that we took advant...
