One of my all time favorite types of photography is the Trash the Dress shoots! For me as the photographer it lets me be ultra creative. The thing that makes it even more fun is other fellow photographers on board with the fun. I had the pleasure of having my fellow photographer and friend, Jessica Lemmons of Jessica Lemmons Photography, have the desire to do a trash the dress session since she is going through a divorce. We have come to find that Trash the Dress sessions are very therapeutic for those going through such a stressful time, such as divorce, in their lives. What topped it all off was that I was not shooting this alone! My dear friend Stacey Hamilton of Time’s 3 Photography in Racine, Wisconsin was here with me too. Keep checking her blog out for the images she captured from our amazing day!!!
I can not tell you of the FUN we had! We had crowds stopping and asking questions right there in downtown Seattle as we worked our camera’s. We had one man stop and say he wanted to be in the movies and that we should take shots of him because he had blue and green eyes!
We had others just stop in the middle of the road to have a chance to speak with Jessica – our amazingly gorgeous model! Then we went into an interesting alley way to get a new feel. After those adventures we took it to the beach – docks – and yes! You all know me – we were in the WATER!!!! Here it is for you all to enjoy:


































That is a Wrap! Well, at least as far as you know
. We are definitely going to have to have future updates or shoots. If you are interested in a fun Trash the dress session just email any of us ~ And do not forget to visit both Jessica and Stacey’s blogs.
