There's been lots of buzz about "Trash the Dress" sessions lately, and Adrian and I were really excited when Jen approached us and asked us to do her TTD session as a gift for her husband. She's married with kids, but never had the big wedding dress and always wanted to do a fun bridal session - but I don't think she expected to have this much fun!! This session was done at Bill Baggs State Park on Key Biscayne - it was a beautiful and secluded location - perfect for a photo shoot!

The term "Trash the Dress" is actually kind of a misnomer - the dress isn't really being trashed. In most cases, the bride is just doing something a little whimsical in her dress or simply allowing herself to have fun and not care whether the dress gets a little dirty. In fact, what happens to your dress is nothing that a trip to the dry cleaners couldn't take care of.

Anyway, on to the pictures - Adrian and I had the opportunity to be creative with this photo shoot, and as such, that's certainly reflected in the style of editing I chose to use. I wanted to achieve a really carefree, dreamy, fantastical look, and I think I succeeded! Please feel free to comment with your thoughts.

Some friends that I showed these photos to asked me how Adrian and I were able to get a few of these shots, particularly the ones in the water... so I decided to include two photos of us on the job!

Here I am photographing Jen and wearing my new Shootsac, a lens bag for professional photographers:

Adrian was a little more adventurous than me this time around (mainly because he'd actually remembered to bring a change of clothes, while I'd forgotten!), so I got this great photo of him in the water:
