Sometimes people will ask, "so, what do you like to take pictures of when you're not photographing weddings?" Apparently, I still like to photograph brides. So, I decided to dress up my sister in a wedding gown and take some pictures. She was a good sport and enjoyed being my model. We started out with a more traditional bridal session, in which we went down to the Seattle Needle at dusk, and took some pictures at the EMP and thereabouts. You can see some of the pictures from that session below. Then, we did a less traditional shoot in our "backyard," aka Matthews Beach Park. You can see some work from that session over at TrashTheDress.com.This sort of session is a really fun idea for before the wedding (more traditional pictures) or after the wedding (more risky, fashion-y type pictures). In fact, even though we dragged the dress (which I ordered off of ebay) through the mud in the lake, I took it to the drycleaners and it came out looking brand new. The other great thing about these sessions is that it is a real collaboration between the photographer and the model(s). We can explore any themes that you are interested in and create a session that immortalizes you (the bride) or you (the couple) at this amazing time in your life.
We plan to do another session like this while we are both in Europe. If you have any ideas for cool places (I'm thinking maybe Stonehenge), drop me a line. Thanks!

This post along with the link to trashthedress.com made me want to TRASH MY DRESS with you guys!
I just dont know if I have the guts to do it! HAHA!
But seriously, I am such a fan of your work, I can only imagine what we could come up with!
I'd love to do a Trash the Dress session with you, Adrienne! If you don't want to risk your wedding dress (totally understandable), we could use a second, or prop, dress. Ebay has some great deals. -- Priscilla
