Back in December, when it snowed, I had the pleasure of freezing my extremities to numbness with Jessica and Chris, whose wedding I’ll be shooting next summer. (Summer. Sweet word.) They brought their new puppy Paxton with them for part of the shoot—which I thought would be a fantastic way to have fun and set everyone at ease from the get go, but then I didn’t consult with Paxton. This was the pup’s first time out of his back yard, never mind his first encounter with snow. He was so excited and distressed that he didn’t quite know just how to behave. One stunt he kept pulling during the shoot was the ‘let me run free or I’ll choke myself and vehemently gag till you feel really guilty’ thing. It did upset his owners, but I was still able to get some shots of Jessica and Chris adoring him, as well as each other, so I was in the end very glad to have him along.
