Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Between planning my own wedding (which is happening in a little over 2 weeks), family portrait sessions, editing and Christmas shopping…I found some time to plan a group Trash the Dress session!
Lauren and Helena are two former brides who donned their dresses again for the sake of art!
A group of about 15 photographers came out to brave the chilly San Diego weather (like 60 degrees people!) We had a great time and met some new people! Thanks to everyone that showed up and thanks to our awesome models (oh and Helena’s hubby Erik too!)
Trash the Dress is just a term. Neither of the dresses were full harmed in this photoshoot!
First up! Helena!
And Lauren!
Batter up!
Lauren braved the icy cold water for the shot!
Here is one of the group shots I took…
I had such a good time with all of you! Let’s plan another outing (after my wedding of course!)
xoxo, M
