When I met Keith, Julie and their daughter 10 months ago, I was struck at how down to earth they were and how relaxed and easy going Julie seemed about her wedding day. We had a great first meeting and I was counting the days until their wedding. She had been a hair client of my best friend Jen for many years and she had referred Julie to me. Jen did her hair and it looked absolutely amazing.

It was a perfect summer afternoon. The sun was shining, the breeze blowing and a wedding was about to take place.  The Newland Barn was the perfect setting for this beautiful couple and their closest friends and family.  Their daughter, almost 3 years old, was ready for her big moment as she sat twirling around in her purple skirt. Thank you both for letting me capture your wedding.  Many blessings to you, your family and to your new marriage.

It’s funny to see the faces of people when I tell them about a “Trash the Dress” photo shoot.  Most people have never heard of this, and can’t understand why you would want to trash your wedding dress. But, for newlyweds that want to get those super sexy pictures post wedding, it’s a great concept.  As part of the So Cal Photog ShootOut group I’ve had some amazing opportunities to build my portfolio, meet some cool people, connect, network and learn from others. As always, a big shout out goes to my friends Hanssie Trainor and Matthew Saville for organizing a spectacular event.  You guys rocked it this time!

There are many people to thank for this amazing shoot.

Here is the “Trash the Dress”.  The “Trash the Dress” session I picked was themed “Dirt”.  Although Lindsey didn’t get all that dirty, we used many “dirty” elements and props to help her out.
