A little clue to what photo it may be. Getting wet to get the shot!
Great angle Dave! thanks 
This past week during the photography showcase at The Wedding Cafe, part of their Wednesday night workshopseries, we were asked “What is trash the dress” by one of the brides. Trash the dress sessions are typically (but not always as shown below) done after the wedding day and are intentional (that means you know you are most likely going to ruin the dress!) This session is for the bride who has no intention of saving the dress, think about it, are you really going to wear it again? Or save it, did you wear your moms dress? These sessions are so much fun and some great photos come out of them! So to all of you who aren’t familiar with trash the dress I have attached a photo for a sample, this particular trash the dress photograph was not planned and was totally unexpected! I was actually coordinatingthe event when I saw my beautiful bride and groom running towards the pool! Knowing the photographer had left for the night I grabbed my camera and snapped away! I always bring my camera to get a few general set up shots for our coordination portfolio and it just so happened that in this case that I was able to catch a great “moment” for the books too!! Thanks Thu and Arek for “breaking loose” you to ROCK!!! Dave and I had so much fun working with you on your event and will never forget your fun and outgoing spirit!
Below is another Trash the dress session, done with client Maya. For this session we took the day and toured around the island taking shots of Maya in different settings ruining her dress! We went to the beach, a waterfall and then finally back to the beach!

Tip of the Month… Be Dressed up and Daring! Look at it this way, this may be the only day you can where what ever you want and get away with it. SO if you have always dreamed of wearing a dazzling peacock feather with a funky little mini veil, a couture gown, and those fabulous shoes that you are sure you’ll never wear again…GO FOR IT, it’s your day!
One of my favorite day of shoes-so fun and funky!
I LOVE this hair piece, simple, unique and full of expression!
A perfect tea length dress, something not many brides will do, but perfect for Hawaii’s sandy shores!
Take a traditional crinoline and make it unique, this bride dyed hers purple!
