This is the post that most people have been asking me about! I have many excited readers, not to mention Brenda, waiting for this!
My good friend and travel companion, Brenda Swann, lugged her wedding dress all the way Down Under for a trash the dress shoot! We decided to stay close to our hotel, and explore Hyde Park in downtown Sydney, Australia!
We had about 30 minutes of sunlight left when we began the shoot. Day 1 of Sydney brought us to these rows of trees and I just knew I would want to stick a bride right there!
Hyde Park has some cool Aboriginal Art in it:
And of course, I was in awe of the gorgeous St Mary’s Cathedral
This is a neat fountain just outside Hyde Park, there is actually a swimming pool underneath this!
After the sun went down completely, we decided to keep exploring and using available light where we could find it! I brought a flash with me on the trip, but it did not leave my bag once! Every single photo in this post was taken with light that was available in that particular area!
Rad gate!
Again, the row of trees like the first photo above, but this was after the lights were turned on!
Modeling in the subway! I love how not one person thought we were strange shooting here! Nobody even paid attention to us!
Probably my favorite shot of the night!
I hope you have enjoyed my 4 installments of the epic Australia trip! I had such an amazing time, I can’t wait to go back. Next time I will get to the Great Barrier Reef!
xoxo, M
