When I went to WPPI in 2009 I didn’t get a chance to shoot at all!  So I knew when I went in 2010, I had to make that happen! I helped organize a group trash the dress for my friends and even got some tag-alongs along the way!  And Mandi and Charise decided to don their wedding dresses and play model in front of the camera instead of behind for once!

We had fun traipsing around the Strip of Las Vegas, with lots of onlookers and catcallers and even Spiderman!

This is what a group trash the dress looks like!

You tend to get a lot of arms in your way… 😉

These were my Vegas roomies!  Such a fun group of girls!

Couldn’t resist a photo of us!  New About Us photo maybe? 🙂

Cannot wait to see what WPPI 2011 has in store!

Nicholas had to jump in a few photos, of course!

It was pitch black and we were driving home. I asked Mike to pull off on a deserted road and they probably thought I was crazy!  But I got an idea in my head and wanted to try it out…below is the result and Mike’s favorite image of the day! (I think its’ my favorite too!)

Felicia, Mike and Nicholas, thanks for sharing your Saturday with me, I had a blast!

I adore Kat and her Rock N Roll blog! Every time she posts something new, I get a giddy feeling in my tummy! Can you imagine how giddy I feel when I see MY OWN WORK on there? 🙂  Loni and Todd’s desert trash the dress (check out my post below this one!) was featured yesterday on one of my favorite blogs

Check it out here and leave a comment if you wish!

Thanks Kat!

Loni + Todd

I only met these two about 3 hours prior to this shoot, but I have to say they know how to Bring It!  I could have sworn Loni had a model background, but no!  She is just that photogenic!

But see for yourselves…

And yes, she rides dirt bikes too 🙂

My favorite <3

Todd is a fireman so I told him to pick her up in a fireman’s carry!

It was so great to meet you two!  You are so cute together, I love how he makes you laugh! 🙂

Milisa + Chad

These two are former clients of mine, they were married at Ponte Winery this past September.  Milisa had approached me last year about shooting her Trash the Dress session in Ocotillo Wells.  I am a big fan of the desert so of course I was up for it!  We had such a good time!  Their friends Loni and Todd also wanted in on the TTD action, but you will have to wait until the next blog for theirs!

Nipple alert!!

<3 this one!

Thank you so much for a fun desert weekend!  Tim and I had such a blast with you two!  Buffalo wings are in our future!

xoxo, M
