The dumpster behind McDonald's...

The dumpster behind McDonald's is where a good portion of this post wedding, "trash the dress" shoot took place! "A" hadn't had a chance to eat dinner before we set out on our adventure, so we decided to hit the drive thru at McDonald's. That is when my photographer's eye noticed that the dumpster matched the necklace she was wearing perfectly. It was love at first sight! It was perfect how dirty and grungy the setting was compared to how gorgeous she is. Since it was dinner time, there was a full drive thru with our shoot in full view. We were getting weird looks and questions right and left, but "A" kept her composure (for the most part!) and we got these amazing shots!

I apologize in advance because this is going to be a LONG post. We had such a great time, and there were WAY too many exquisite images to choose from. Many of the images had absolutely no post processing editing done! They were perfect straight off of the Canon. Posted are my top "17" favorites!




















If anyone is thinking of doing a "trash the dress" session I STRONGLY urge you to just go for it!!! The images you will get out of it are soooooooo worth it, and in most cases the dress doesn't really get THAT dirty. It is worth it to just dive in, and then pay to have your dress professionally cleaned.
