Trash the Prom/Bridesmaid Dress Session, Detroit MI Wedding Photographer

I had such a FUN time with Chelsey and Chrystal on this Trash the Dress Photo shoot. These two ladies met up with me to "dirty up" some old bridesmaid dresses they had laying around the house. To be totally honest with you, I love the concept of getting another USE out of such pricey gowns. You can sit in the grass, lean up against a tree, lay in the sand, walk in the water- anything to get a good picture- because it no longer MATTERS if the dress gets dirty.
(Note: Almost all dresses can be restored to original condition with a simple dry cleaning).
And, of course, you look amazing in the images. If you have an old wedding gown, bridesmaid dress, or prom dress and want to do a Trash the Dress Session- send me a message. I would love love LOVE to book a date with you.

Chelsey and I met last September. We have worked together a handful of times since then and she has pretty much become one of my muses.... such a fun model to work with. She is local and for hire if anyone is interested. Her posing, dedication and ability to emote are fabulous- and she keeps getting better. Her girlfriend, Chrsystal, joined us for this shoot. It was her first time and she really did a great job. The three of us visited a graffiti area, some railroad tracks and a small stream. Check out some of my favorite images below:







A few from the Train Tracks... And yep! A train DID come while we were there.




Here are some from the water spot. Yes, we were ALL in the water, myself included...at least waist high. Considering it was 90 + degrees when we shot, the water felt pretty good. Aren't they beautiful??





There are a handful more images as well... I am working on the final touches and will put them in a gallery on my website for you two to view very soon. Hope you enjoy them. :)
