simone wanted to do a trash the dress session to celebrate her two year wedding anniversary. not wanting her husband don to miss out on the fun, they decided to do a joint session to celebrate their marriage with some fun, sexy photos. simone swore to me all this week that she is shy and self-conscious in front of the camera, so i was prepared to have to do some coaxing to get her to open up. was i in for a surprise!

simone and don were both so natural! not only is she incredibly sexy, but she and don both have amazing chemistry together. they were a dream to work with. i would start to give them direction or have them change positions, and before i would even finish the sentence they were doing exactly what i had envisioned. we had a blast walking around station square (in the rain, no less) making some great images and sharing some laughs.

here are a few of my faves:

this is actually the dress simone wore for her wedding. there’s not much traditional about simone. that’s one of the things i like about her.

simone is originally from jamaica. she has the most beautiful skin.

the chemistry between these two is incredible.

i love this one.

we were pretty wet by this point

seriously. how sexy are they?

i love that you can see the rain falling in this one.

and some more in their slideshow

happy anniversary simone and donny! you guys were amazing to photograph and work with! thanks for making it a fun evening.

I shot a bridal session (with maybe a little bit of trash the dress action happening) with rachel this past weekend. The always fabulous dee dee did her makeup, and we went to a playground by her house, then stopped at some train tracks on the way back. Super fun:

i was in love with this green wall at the park

isn’t she stunning?

and then a quick stop at the railroad…

and here’s the slideshow. (The song is she moves in her own way by the kooks- I have it incorrectly listed on the slideshow). enjoy!

i’m editing a bridal session i did with rachel on sunday, and i just had to post this image. isn’t she stunning?!

i’ll post more later, i was just so excited about this one i had to share.

i love to photograph abandoned spaces. a lot of people know that, and give me hot tips on great places to check out. someone told about this junkyard at my last gallery show in march, and i’ve been dying to get out there to photograph since then. i finally made it this weekend, and did an amazing trash the dress session with emily. here are some of the results:

check out her rockstar shades- aren’t they awesome? they fit so well with the locale that we decided to keep them on for most of the shoot.

incidentally, the dress didn’t get totally trashed- just a little dirty. for more pics, check out the slideshow from our session.
