Trash the Dress Archive

Last year, Mandi and I had the honor of joining Jason and Shawna on a their cruise to Bahamas wedding!  We were among their closest friends and family and they went out of their way to make us feel included the whole week.  It was an awesome experience and I’m stoked on the images from their trash the dress and wedding day!

To be married in the Bahamas, you have to be in their waters for 24 hours, so on our first day there we decided to do their trash the dress (Shawna bought a 2nd dress for this!) in Freeport.  They were total troopers in the blazing sun (and then pouring rain).  These two rock and I am pleased to call them friends now!! xo

Sarah originally contacted me for her wedding day photography but I was booked on her date.  She opted to take some photos after her wedding with me instead!  Great idea!  We met down at Shelter Island where close to where they got married last year for some fun photos! Sarah and Mike totally rocked it out for the shoot, even with their own entourage there to watch!

Suzie and David decided on a destination wedding this past September and brought their friends and family out from South Dakota for the celebration!  I’ll be posting their gorgeous Hotel Del wedding this week.  But first, we met a few days prior to their wedding for a fun trash the dress session. They loved the idea when we met for the first time in my studio so Suzie found a cute 2nd dress and we had a blast!  I must admit, they were awesome troopers because it was super chilly and overcast the day we shot these!!

It was the wedding that never was. But Krystle wasn’t going to just hide in a corner and pretend it never happened. Instead she took 6 of her close friends on a girls weekend in La Jolla and had the party of their lives!

I was so pleased to be able to contribute to this celebration weekend! These ladies were so fun and outgoing and up for ANYTHING!

Thanks to Bryan N Miller for coming along (risking his man-hood with some bashing) and shooting some great images with my underwater gear!

They made these fun signs with empowerment quotes on the back!

Love this photo of Krystle and her mom!

The next two photos below are taken by Bryan with my underwater equipment:

Pool time!

Krystle, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your Undoing – we had so much fun on the shoot! You have the most amazing positive attitude and hope we can stay in touch!

xoxo, M

ps Oh yes, both Bryan and I were 100% soaked from this shoot!  If you are my friend on Facebook, there are some classic behind the scene shots of that!

A few months ago, Kat from Rock N Roll bride blog contacted me because a British wedding magazine had taken notice of my trash the dress session in the desert with Loni and Todd.  I had given permission for them to use the image and forgot all about it!  Until I got a scan of the spread from Kat in my email!  So fun to see my image in the layout (below the kissing couple int he sun).

So exciting!!  Thanks Kat!
