Rock the Beach / Trash the Dress

Rock the Beach / Trash the Dress

Lucia and I asked a dancer/model friend of ours (Calista) to spend an evening at the beach posing in wedding dresses. I had a silk gown hanging around the studio she wore first, and then a newer style I bought just for this shoot. We wanted to create this session because we don’t think bride’s ever get enough time to be photographed in their dress on the wedding day, and so we’re hoping we can inspire you to put your dress on again for another photoshoot!

When we had all the images I was thinking of, I asked Calista to act her choice of scenarios, and she chose the Vengeance of a Scorned Bride. You definitely want to scroll all the way down for that – I think she nailed it.

This is the image I had in my mind before the shoot. I really wanted a beach with this reflective sand, and we chose Scarborough.

This is a pull-back shot, so you can see the light in the water that shines on Calista’s hair.

I mentioned a Facebook poll up above. This was my favorite image, and it rated the lowest. Go figure.

Calista smeared wet sand over herself for these last images, and I’m guessing found sand in her hair for weeks afterwards.
