The holiday season is here, and I find myself playing catch up with my fall posts.  I’m sorry internet…I will try to do better in the future:)

Sharri wanted to do a bridal portrait at Monmouth University with a splash of trash the dress.  I think most brides love the idea of a trash the dress session, but don’t actually want to ruin their dress.  I completely agree, in fact, I think the term “trash the dress” has a broad definition.  It can simply mean more daring poses than the wedding day such as sitting on the ground or dirty pavement, or it can literally mean trashing your dress i.e. in the ocean or rolling around in the dirt.  Either way…I love shooting these sessions.  Often they are so much more relaxed than the wedding day and you get some really fun shots.  Sharri was awesome…she chose to climb a tree in her dress.  How a cool is that…tuille and satin contrasted with bark and foliage.  I love it.  I totally give her props:)

Enjoy!
