So every once in a while as a photographer, I just have to get out there and shoot for fun, stress free.

One day last winter I came home to find three wedding dresses hanging in my kitchen, yes three! Just as I was wondering what was going on Ivanette walked around the corner and said “Look what I found on sale!”. Yes, the famous words women use to justify everything. Turns out “on sale” was actually because the boutique was liquidating the previous season’s samples, and she really did hit on a huge bargain!

Early in the summer I had found out that Jessica, a model we had worked with last year on a project, was back in Ottawa for the summer and wanted to do a shoot with her horses while she was home. We had gone over a few ideas and when she ended up sending me a photo of a woman on a horse in a white dress, it came to me that this would be a perfect opportunity to trash one of those dresses!

We had an amazing time making this shoot happen; hope you enjoy these shots and they inspire you to do something fun!

Rarely does a photographer find a bride who is so in tune with a concept for a photo shoot that she actually says “I could…” and volunteer to do something amazing for a shot before I get the chance to ask. Tammy and Jay were married last December in Cuba, and got in contact with us a few months ago regarding a Trash the Dress session. They live in a picturesque little village on the outskirts of Ottawa, and they have an incredible view of the water right from their house!
Ivy and I had the pleasure of spending the morning with them on their boat today, almost having too much fun to consider it work. The water was warm, the wind was cool, and the photos are incredible!
