Rock The Dress/Trash The Dress | Abandoned House with Jenny | Edmonton Photographer

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

I have to say, I absolutely love Rock The Dress/Trash the Dress sessions! It’s a super fun way to get more than one day’s wear out of a fabulous wedding dress. Now, this location might not look like the potential for trashing was there, but it was! What you don’t see nestled into the tall grass and through the abandoned house was large piles of, um, presents, left behind by the cows that hung out in this place! I was photographing Jenny with my Friend Becky from Just for You Photography (you should check out her shots of Jenny too!) and it was fun trying to avoid stepping in all the goodies left behind. I loved this location and Jenny absolutely rocked this dress!!

I just can’t resist doing detail shots!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Rock the Dress session with Jenny

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Rock the Dress. Trash the Dress. Day After Session. Post Wedding Portraits. It’s all the same thing really, just a different way to say that you got dressed up again in your gorgeous wedding clothes and had a fun and fabulous photo shoot that had none of the stresses of your wedding. Seriously, why wouldn’t you want to play wedding dress-up?
Jenny and I got together a few days ago in my studio so we could play wedding dress up. It’s been a few years since Jenny was married, but wowee, did she look great in her dress! We started off in the studio and Jenny broke out her cowboy boots and hat to go with the dress. She looked adorable, I especially love how relaxed she looks and I love when she is laughing. Afterwards we headed off to the creepy sprinkler room in my building (I love this space, it looks perfect for a horror movie) where we played with even more dramatic light and I love how she contrasts so gorgeously in such pretty, formal clothes against a pretty industrial looking background. These are a few of my favourite shots from the session.

Rockin’ the Dress for Breast Cancer with Colleen!

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Colleen is another one of the awesome ladies who decided to wear her wedding dress again (just 2.5 years after her own wedding) for the Rock the Dress for Breast Cancer fundraiser. We shot near 124 St and at an awesome parkade downtown Edmonton. I have to admit, I love the parkade shots best, and they are a sneak peek to where we will be shooting formals for a fabulous wedding coming up this weekend.

Rockin’ the Dress for Breast Cancer with Shauna

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

A while back I signed on to do a fundraiser for Breast Cancer with Rock the Dress Sessions. I met up with Shauna around the 104 St/104 Ave area of downtown EdmontonĀ for hers. Shauna’s husband came along to watch, and she told me that their 29th wedding anniversary is in July! That’s pretty darn cool! It also shows it’s never too late to Rock your Dress again!

Rockin’ the Dress with Molly Minx of the Hook ‘Em Revue in Edmonton, AB

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Yesterday found me shooting a super sassy burlesque dancer named Molly Minx. She was amazing in front of camera and just knew what to do! I think the dancing and performing burlesque really helped! We shot just down the road from the Matrix Hotel where a building was torn down and there was a great pile of bricks and a big hole in the ground. We then went West and took advantage of an awesome truck that was shot up and grafitti-ized (I know that’s not a real word) to awesomeness! It got super cold so we came back to the studio and shot a little in the alley before calling it quits. I’m still in love with the gorgeous flowers from The Wild Orchid! It’s fantastic when you can tell your florist your budget, the colours, and let them run wild with it… and it turns in to pure gorgeousness!

Anyway, here’s some shots from yesterday… I know it’s going to make you want to wear your wedding dress again for your own Rock the Dress shoot, and I will be more than happy to make you look just as awesome!
