Tracy & Benny's Trash The Dress Session!

Meet Tracy and Benny!

This amazing couple is no stranger to my blog posts. I first introduced this fun couple in June when Amber and I photographed their engagement session and then their wedding in July. This time I was lucky enough to photograph their Trash the Dress Session! Trash the dress sessions are a fun way for a bride to get another chance to wear her dress and take some amazing photos in unique and unusual locations. Sometimes brides will do this and not get their dress dirty, this time we got it- and the bride and groom muddy and wet! Kim and I had an amazing time working with this wonderful couple, we started photographing in Arcata Plaza and then moved onto Warren Creek Pumpkin patch located in the Arcata bottoms and then later splashed around Trinidad State Beach. In the end we were all wet, muddy, and of course cold, but we all had a really fun time! Below are just a few of my favorite images and to see an online slide show of more great images please click HERE. Enjoy!

Amber and Ed's Trash The Dress Session

Another trash the dress session, this time with Amber and Ed! Amber and Ed who were married at Oak Meadows in Temecula wanted to do a Trash the Dress session at Lo Jolla Beach. Now for those of you who don't know what Trash the dress is I'll explain. I feel there are two different versions of "Trash the Dress" sessions, there's the Trash the dress session where you go around wearing your dress and take fun beautiful pictures on a different day then your wedding and then there's the "Trashing" the dress session, where you go swimming in a salt water ocean, or lagoon or get mud all over it or even rip it all to shreds.

This session was more of the safer version although they did venture into the ocean and came out sandy and soaking wet. Although the weather wasn't as sunny as we would have liked, it turned out to be a great evening and I had a lot of fun "trashing" the dress and shooting with them. Below are a few of my favorite images from that day and to view a fun slide show please click HERE. Enjoy!
