CRYSTAL | TRASH THE DRESS SESSION

On a rainy afternoon this past Spring, we met up with Crystal, a wedding planner for I Do Events By Crystal to photograph her in her very own Trash the Dress session. Crystal has worked with several of our clients, so we were excited to get her out for a little fun of her own! Despite the drizzle, she trooped on and broke out her cowboy boots as we hit the back alleys of Berkeley, and the warehouse district in West Oakland. She looked fantastic, and we never had so much fun trashing one of our industry colleagues!

Kelly's Trash the Dress session!!

We had a blast with Kelly as our 4th and final contest winner of the Trash the Dress portrait sessions!

Kelly has the most amazingly beautiful long hair and it was such a couture photo shoot.
Our team got down and dirty with Kelly when we hit the industrial warehouse district of Oakland. An abandoned tractor, a cargo semi, and abandoned boxcars were just a couple of the highlights... She brought an amazing 20 foot long cathedral veil which we even shot on the I-880 freeway on the way to Alameda - incredible!
We ended the evening with some absolutely stunning shots of her floating in Lake Temescal. It was haunting and beautiful. Perhaps one of my favorite shots of her was among the fallen leaves on the street. It's hard to believe but summer is nearly over and the leaves are falling... where does the time go?

We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our amazing and beautiful brides who participated in our contest. These Trash the Dress sessions were truly one of the most memorable times of the summer for our team.
We look forward to more of them! Please drop us a line if you love any of these photos and want to be the star of your own shoot!
