barbie & heather - trash the dress

i've always wanted to do a trash the dress shoot, so when heather contacted me i couldn't wait for the opportunity. little did i know there would be a twist to this session. heather's friend...barbie...also wanted to join in on the fun.

i was little apprehensive about how this was gonna go but much to my surprise, shooting 2 brides/friends...was the best that could have ever happened. they took turns in front of the camera, playing off of each others ideas.

barbie/heather...thank you for making my first trash the dress shoot a great one. you both were awesome. hope you like this sneak peek...

Okay that was just very cool! I really liked the ones with all the archway thingies behind her. But I'll tell ya, those were all very cool. How can you choose from those John? I LOVE the one with the santa hat/beer bottles. And the one right below it.

Makes me want to get my dress out of the box it's preserved in and do a shoot! lol...but I doubt I could wiggle myself into that dress anymore :o( That was back in the day, b4 3 kids. Ahhh, I loved that dress.

Some of those were very sexy too. Tastefully sexy I mean. Very Very nice work on this shoot. Did they actually really trash the dress? I would have soooo trashed my dress. lol

thanks sheila. when you're ready....give me a call :)

i think i may have inspired sara to do the same. that shoot...IF it happens...will be amazing.

the dresses never literally got trashed. both brides planned to have them cleaned after the shoot :)

Great shots John. Love the idea of having the bride posed several times in the same shot.
