I met up with a super cool group from OSP down in Laguna Beach to shoot a “Trash the Dress” session with a bunch of models/brides. For those unfamiliar, think of “Trash the Dress” as a type of bridal photo shoot where you don’t have to worry about how your dress will look for the reception. A lot of people misunderstand it and think that the dresses are being ruined, but that is rarely the case. They’re pretty good after a dry cleaning. To me, it’s really just a fun session that allows the bride and the photographer to try all kinds of creative ideas that usually end up in pretty amazing and hot images.

Anyway, I caught up with some friends and also met some really cool people that I’ve been waiting to meet for a while. There ended up being 11 brides and about 20 or so photographers and it was so fun. It was a similar experience to some of the shooting we did in Seattle, so it was kind of a cool flashback. I got pretty soaked…stupid me for wearing jeans. Just imagine how I got home! There was also a crew from the OC Register and the article is up already! Also, Elysium Productions was there to capture the whole thing…I’m sure they got some pretty funny footage. Thanks to the brides/grooms that shot with me, Kelli, Kim, Wendy, Karen & Ben, Allison & Phil and Shannon & Marcelo.

If any brides out there are interested in the concept, let me know and I’ll fill you in on the details. If you are, then you will get some HOT images!!! Check out trashthedress.com for more info. They have a good Why Trash the Dress ? section.

Thanks to Nataly for organizing the whole thing!

Here are some goods…I should do a slideshow!

The shot above was my second click of the day. Kim set up by Greg.

Love this shot of Kim. It’s very James Bond-ish.
