As you may or may not know, I have a small obsession with shopping on eBay. Lately, I’ve been buying wedding dresses. I just can’t pass up a good deal. So, with the collection of dresses I have amassed, I decided I had to put them to good use. I’ve been wanting to show the possibilities of what wedding photography can be, and Rock the Dress sessions are a useful way to do that. Sometimes it’s just not possible to get to do everything you want on your wedding day with time constraints, not wanting to get messy, etc. so a Rock the Dress session is a great way to get to wear your dress again and have a fantastic photo shoot. It’s also a great opportunity to get fabulous shots of you and your honey in your wedding attire if you were disappointed with your wedding day photos.
I met with Kiki yesterday, I had found her on Model Mayhem, and if anyone is in need of a fantastic model, check her out! I’m already dreaming up new schemes to photograph her again! Here’s her profile: http://www.modelmayhem.com/1111085
We first headed out to the old Edmonton Spring Works building on Jasper and 95th. I really love this spot! The area was a little busy, especially with the crazy traffic at the grocery store next door. After working around the building, we headed North a few blocks to where the LRT heads undergorund on 95th St to enjoy the awesome grafitti on the tunnel. Both spots are totally unconventional, but yielded amazing images! Always fun to have a few accessories, and I’m really enjoying balloons and a long stretch of veil to blow in the wind. I’m also in love with the orange orchids in the bouquet, and very thankful to girl at Flowers by Merle who put it together for me at the last minute!
Here’s just a few of one of my new favourite shoots, and if you’d like to see more, check out the gallery on Facebook!

I love the shot of her in the street with the balloons – nice work!
I love the balloons, adding the contrast between colors in them made them even better! Also love the parasol, great shots!
Ooooh la la… the colourful contrasts, the props, the model and that dress makes for some beautiful photographs.
