DWF Convention & Trash the Dress Photos
Adrian and I are back from the Digital Wedding Forum convention and Imaging USA. DWF was by far one of the most amazing and worthwhile conventions I have ever been to! Everyone I met was so wonderful and willing to share, and I got to hear some of my favorite photographers speak, like Jesh de Rox, Jessica Claire, the Bebbs, the Radlinskis, Michelle Turner, Susan Stripling, and SO MANY MORE!!! I also made some wonderful new friends and it was awesome to finally meet all the people I've been chatting with online on the forum for the past year!
On Sunday, one of my fellow photographers, Alicia D'Amico, organized a Trash the Dress shoot. She got some incredible models from the Tampa area, which is where we were all staying, and we ran around the hotel shooting and exploring and practicing what we had just learned in our seminars.
Here are four of my favorite images to start, from a model named Krystal who was definitely not afraid to get wet! More will be coming from the other model I worked with, as I process the images.
Hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed making them. For those of you who care, I edited these with a mixture of the Boutwells' Totally Rad Actions and my brand new Sallee Solutions actions which I purchased at Imaging USA. :)
Very nice. I like the tones and subtle colors.
Great job Karen. I love the first and second ones the most. Thanks for attending my shoot and thanks for the shout out too! -Alicia

Wow... that second-to-last picture is absolutely beautiful beyond belief. One of my favorite pictures by you EVER. The photoshoot in general was also absolutely beautiful. Great pictures!
These photos are more than beautiful. This is like an outdoor fantasy and you captured the shoot with style!
