Becky & David - Trash The Dress Session

Whether you would rather "Cherish" your dress or "Trash" your dress, a day after photo shoot is a great way to show your man your commitment by saying you'll never need the dress again! Besides, they're a lot of fun. Especially if you include your special guy.

I first had the pleasure of photographing Becky & David 's wedding. Becky knew right away that she wanted to Trash her Dress even before she married. Of course I was game! So we gently broke the dress into the session by starting in a nearby field as I remembered that this couple really love the outdoors. Then we headed across the lake to some cliffs. Joining us was Becky's maid of honor as well. I think I can say we all had a good time. The owner of the property had to come see what was going on and took some photos of her own. Then another cottager came over in their boat with a bottle of wine for the couple to Congratulate them. I thought that was really terrific. Even a snake curled around a branch checked out the commotion but was freaking Becky out a little!

And in the end, after mud being slung around, they all took a jump in the lake.
Here's some of the photos from the day.

Isabella & My Garden

After the fair, Isabella wanted to play outside in my yard...as you can see, she loves the balls!

then it was time to pick a pretty flower to take home to mommy...

I laughed at Isabella at the house because she kept asking if she could be "a fairytale with a beautiful dress and wings", and was disappointed when I told her it was late and we'd have to do it another time. She loves putting on the dresses I have for photographs...I can't blame her. If I were a little girl like her again, I'd love to wear these dresses too!
