Archive for the ‘Trash the Dress’ Category

Breanne and Brad were married back in June of 2008 and she had come to the realization that her wedding dress was dirty and taking up too much space so she messaged me to book a trash the dress session! When she told me what she had in mind I instantly got giddy and excited and I couldn’t wait to get out to shoot this. Brad and Brea LOVE to ride their quads and dirt bikes and Breanne’s parents live on a beautiful acreage  just out of the city where they could ride and have some fun. Knowing that spring is just around the corner and that there is PLENTY of mud out at mom and dad’s we headed out of town with the gassed up toys and went to play.

James and I had so much fin with this session and we have to hand it to Breanne because not only was she brave enough to trash her dress, but the water/mud she was standing in and getting soaked with was FREEZING cold and smelled a bit like “farm” :) It was SO WORTH IT and I could barely narrow down photos to fit on this blog, so here is a sneak peek. Enjoy.

PS- OH! and we must also give a huge shout out to Dar, Breanne’s mom. She was nervous about doing this session but by the end, she was on a quad totally getting in on the action along with Brea’s dad and some other friends!

We traveled out to the west coast to shoot the wedding of Curtis and Krista. The island was beautiful, the weather was gorgeous, the bride and groom are two of the coolest people ever, and I LOVED every minute of this trip! Krista and I went to High School together in Calgary and haven’t seen each other in over 12 years, so it was so amazing to see her again and to meet her amazing husband and beautiful daughter Zanika.

Thank you so much for having me at your wedding guys, I loved catching up with you and I am truly honored to have been a part of your special day.

Today I had the pleasure of enjoying a beautifully sunny afternoon with Brenna and her horses! Brenna is a new model for the Slade model.management team and we did her first photo session with Diamond and Angel. Brenna, as you can see, is absolutely gorgeous and so easy to shoot and work with. Her personality shines and she will certainly be an asset to Slade’s team!!

Thanks for letting us spend some time with you and your family today Brenna, we look forward to working with you in the future.

On Sunday afternoon, we met up with Bob & Mardell one more time to have a little fun in her dress before she took it to the drycleaners. Mardell loved her dress so much that in the days leading up to the wedding she would even watch TV in it after Bob would go to bed, so doing a Trash the Dress session really was a perfect way to end the weekend! Her dress ended up looking more clean than they do on most wedding days, so don’t worry, nothing actually got trashed ;)

The two of them were great sports, because the water was freezing! Mardell wasn’t going to go too far into the water, but Bob decided to misbehave and start a bit of a splashing fight…
