Stephanie and Matt are from Edmonton, Canada, but were out here in Arizona for vacation. I met them in Queen Creek for photos. They were married last year, but Stephanie dressed up in her wedding dress again so that we could get some fun, creative, beautiful images of her and her new husband. I loved how they turned out.
I was trying to make this one (above) look like a platinum print. In my college photography classes I did some platinum-palladium printing and I think platinum would look so beautiful for wedding photography. So this is my try at creating a digital platinum-like image. Not exactly like platinum, but reminiscent of it, maybe. I think some day I want to do real platinum printing of wedding photos!
Stephanie told me that she had been in a wedding that Jesh de Rox photographed. I really love his work, so it was very interesting to hear what it was like to have him photograph a wedding that she was in.
For a lot of the images below, I tried different filters and actions to create different looks. So while I usually try to be really consistent with the post-processing of my images, this time I was trying new things and having fun coming up with different looks.
We drove to a dry creek full of yellow flowers, just as the sun was setting.
Thanks Stephanie and Matt! I had so much fun with you guys! :) I'm so glad you found me online, Stephanie and were up for these Trash the Dress/ Day After photos! I'm so glad you were willing to transport your wedding dress all the way from Edmonton too!

Thank you Brenda for entering my Trash the Dress contest and bringing your husband Phillip along to get some fun photographs of you guys! I loved how they turned out and can't wait for you to see more. :)
Stuff for readers to know:
1. No dresses were harmed in the making of these images. Brenda's dress was so gorgeous that I was afraid even to ask her to sit down on the concrete for this image. But she was up for anything.
2. I love love love capturing those in-between moments like this one with Brenda laughing.
3. This bride has the coolest name! :)
I got to gether with some other photographers to shoot these images of Deborah in her wedding dress in downtown Phoenix, near the Icehouse. She got married a few years ago, so I think it was fun for her to have a chance to get more photos in her dress.
If you are interested in doing a Trash the Dress session, enter my Trash the Dress contest here. Winners will be drawn on December 26th, 2009 and photo sessions will be done sometime in 2010.
To enter the contest, you tell me where you think it would be cool to have a Trash the Dress session and what other ideas you might have. So if you like graffitti and urban areas, like we did for Deborah's photos, tell me about that. But if you prefer more out in nature images, tell me about that too.
There will be two winners.
(And don't tell anyone, but if I really like more than a few ideas, well there might be more than a few winners!)

The second image here was taken with a 24mm tilt shift lens that I rented. It was so much fun to play with that lens, but it's definitely a lens you need to use a lot to get a sense of what it can do and how to best use it.
