Of all the shots we tried, this was supposed to have been the desired pose. None of the attempts for this pose ended up the way we hoped. For example, here, Luis closed his eyes.

The other attempts resembled this one. Luis started looking okay, but Marisol got bug-eyed and seems to be about to burst a vein! Haha. Naturally, we tried for this pose first because we weren't sure how long the sunflower would hold up underwater. We were right, it started disintegrating. In hindsight, we should've tried a couple shots before using the flower to give them time to get comfortable in the water.

Fortunately, we were able to get one great shot of just Marisol with her flower before half the flower ended up as individual floating petals. (Oh okay, it would have been better still if I'd realized someone else was off in the background.) Yes, as a matter of fact, Marisol loves sunflowers and the church was full of them on the wedding day.

One of the more adorable poses.

One of the last action shots before they got tired and wanted to finish the roll with shots that required less energy!

We tried for some serious expressions, but Marisol either grinned or closed her eyes. The one shot where she did neither came out looking like floating zombies (and a bit too dark to scan)!

Were it not for how well the last photo in this album turned out and that Marisol decided Luis needed a good choking (*laff*), this shot was nearly my favorite.

Trying for some individual closeups, I now have a tip for disposable underwater camera use: pay attention to the message that says your subject should be at least three feet away. It's the truth. Any closer and stuff gets a little blurry. The other shot I took like this was from about a foot or two distance and resembled what Marisol was seeing without a mask.

Luis decided to be a bit more goofy for his closeups.

Marisol isn't about to let Luis hoard all the fun as she swims to him and lets out some anxiety!

HAH! Such goofballs. Great shot, though.

Saving the best for last, this was the "money" shot. None of us were sure it would turn out well when I told them to do this pose but it, by far, was the best. Marisol liked it so much, she had an 8x10 made of it for the reception photo table.
