These portraits are one of my most favorite things to shoot. My brides seem to trust me for some reason and go with my crazy ideas! These are the times I can be most creative and run with one of the zillion things floating around my head.
Angie wanted to do a 'trash the dress' session, or as I like to call them, an alternative portrait. Once she said water, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with her and was so excited when she drove six hours with her dress to come out to Malibu to pose for me.
We were kinda bummed at first that it was a cold dreary day but I am so glad Angie didn't change her mind! I think the shots ended up having a better mood to them then a bright sunny day would have. And she braved that frigid water!!! I can tell you now that the shoot is over that there is no way I would have gotten into that water! You were a trooper, girl!
Leave a comment and let me know which ones you like the best.
This next one is one of my favorites. This is the shot that I had stuck in my head for so long...
I love this photo. I can't remember if the wind blew the veil over her or if she was goofing around, but her spontaneous laughter and great smile makes this one of my favorites!
