ocean city, NJ has a special place in my heart and not just because it’s our favorite family vacation spot. In 2008 my husband and I went there for a mini-vacation that I will never forget. We went for a walk on the beach and there in front of the Ocean City lifeguard boat he popped the question and I said yes! So when I saw Allebach Photography’s Trash the Dress post on facebook I knew I had to share their beautiful photos of this lighthearted couple’s fun day with our readers. Michelle (Chelley) and David have such a carefree spirit that jumps right off the page and a LOVE that grabs your heart and pulls you close. After experiencing their amazing day together you’ll want to be friends with them and their photographer!

I can never stop laughing- mostly because Dave and I enjoy each others company so much, so my smile is easy to catch; Dave, however, is more serious to my silly, yet there is a plethora of pictures showing his pure happiness. Being so comfortable with your photographer is important- with Mike, it’s like hiring your friend to shoot your most intimate emotions.

We had our Bikes at the TTD session, which was awesome! It’s terrible to ride in a dress, but it was so silly and a picture of us shouldering our bikes, is “us” in a photo- no doubt. Dave and I enjoy riding our bikes together, and with our hectic schedules, it’s often the only couple thing we get to do on a regular basis.”
