Some people say the Getaway Car is overrated… we completely disagree!

In today’s economy, it makes perfect sense to be careful about how you spend your wedding budget. We have seen some really amazing and creative ways that our couples have saved money on their weddings, and encourage you to do the same! In that spirit, we think that some couples tend to overlook a few things that could provide a huge value for the money. One of them, without a doubt, is a stylish getaway car.

A getaway car is a luxurious, relaxing, and fun way for newlyweds to take a few minutes and enjoy each other’s company after getting married. Usually, the chauffeur will have champagne chilled and ready for you to sip on during the ride. What other day in life can you think of that would be a better excuse for such opulence?!? Yep, we are totally biased because a getaway car can also create a perfect atmosphere for sexy, romantic portraits!

Let the prom-goers keep their standard limousines. Instead, consider renting a classic limo or your favorite classic car.  Is your wedding going to be glamorous and ritzy? Go for a Rolls Royce.  Is your style more relaxed and casual?  Don’t tell me your fiance wouldn’t want to ride away in a 1976 SS Camaro or 1965 Convertible Mustang!!!  You’ll be surprised at how spending a couple hundred dollars on something usually deemed “frivolous” can truly add to your experience!

Check out this perfect example from a recent wedding we did!  Kira & Eric love old black and white movies and decided to rent a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow to show off their classic style. We really love how the images turned out– they ended up being some of our favorite romantic portraits from the day.

Live It Up! Acqua Photo featured in Latter Day Bride Magazine 2010

We are excited to be included in the 2010 Latter Day Bride Magazine, in bookstores now!  The theme of this year’s magazine is “Live It Up! Celebrate For Life” and our images were chosen as the main feature to help illustrate the overall spirit throughout the issue.  We couldn’t think of a better couple to embody the joy and excitement of marriage than Jen & Rhett Walker.  We had such an amazing time shooting their Rock the Dress session in La Jolla.  To see more images from the session, click here.  See below for tear sheets!
