This was my favorite shoot so far. Ever in my life. It was so involved and extravagant! On Monday, I partnered up with my neighbors (mentioned in previous post) and photographed my beautiful sister-in-law, Shannon, Trash the Dress style. We decided to shoot at the bunkers on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was FREEZING and even poured rain at one point, but you’d never know it from these pics! Shan did a great job toughing it out. We just kept stopping to bundle her up with a blanket. Poor thing. 4 hours later, the dress was soaking wet and muddy and we allowed her to put on warm clothes ;)
Shan looked beautiful. Shaya did an amazing job on the makeup. And Brian shot some really great photos. It’s cool to see the same shoot from two different perspectives.
Because this was such a fun shoot and cause it was such a long shoot, I’m posting a ton of my faves. There was just no way I could narrow it down any more than this.

If anyone is interested in a Trash the Dress or fashion shoot, please let me know. This is the area of my portfolio I still need to build.
Last weekend, I dove into a completely new kind of photography. I did two Trash the Dress shoots to start building my wedding photos portfolio. If you don’t know what “Trash the Dress” is, you should check out this website: www.trashthedress.com. Basically, it’s post wedding photos that are a bit more artistic and in very unique and different locations. Some people even completely submerge themselves in water in order to get some really awesome shots. There are some amazing photographers on there that I’ve been trying to pull inspiration from.
These first two sessions were pretty mellow, mainly because I’m still learning and need to build more confidence with doing “crazy” things. But also, both brides were a little hesitant about getting their dresses dirty. It was a fun time and a great learning experience. I’d like to venture into some real trashing of the dresses. I have a few sessions planned in the next month or so. We’ll see what comes of it.
