Mike and Felicia – Plaster City Trash the Dress
This blog is way overdue!  I shot this session over a month ago!  I’ve known Felicia and Mike for almost a year now! I actually shot their rehearsal dinner last May at Ocean View Villas.  They love going out to the desert and riding around in Mike’s jeep so we figured that was the perfect location for their Trash the Dress!
They took me out to Plaster City in Ocotillo and we had a blast!

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!

xoxo, M
