Mrs. G, Don't Trash your Dresses!

OK, I have been cloud nine as of late as I finish a great wedding season and start my super holiday season. I think I have the best job in the entire world!
As an artist, I have to take time to breathe, try out new techniques, sharpen my skills, and sink my teeth into an project for art's sake. I love, "Don't Trash the Dress" sessions because they combine all these elements plus they're so much fun to shoot and we're in no hurry trying to get to the church on time.
Don't Trash the Dress sessions are a great way for not only a bride to say, "Sayanora" to her Vera Wang but a great way to add new memories into that gown. Remember how beautiful you looked on your wedding day? Why not change your look and take your dress out again before you drop it off at the drycleaners? Surprise your husband with that sassy modern bride chic we know every wife has! Our sessions are guaranteed to me you look amazing and we'll take you through several locations to get that editorial look!
Mrs. G surprised everyone on her wedding day as she danced to a secretly chroreograohed routine with her husband, Tony to, "I Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing in her second gown (The Princess Dress)!
It seemed appropriate that she had one more surprise for groom! She took out BOTH of her dresses to bid farewell to them.
Just like any other supermodel, Jasmine had to board a plane in two hours for Calgary after the shoot...Oh, the life of a supermodel!



Here are a couple of photos from our, "Don't Trash the Dress" session in Deep Cove!

Let me know what you think! Thanks again, Jasmine for asking me to help [not] Trash your Dress.

The Golden Hour is my Happy Hour

I had a most magical "Don't Trash the Dress" session with Montreal High Fashion Retoucher and Graphic Artist, Kate Mc Laren. She was ecstatic to help with our project.
In case you're wondering if I retouched the retoucher-absolutely not. She really is as beautiful as she appears on film. L o v e l y!

I can't wait to work with her again on some projects in front of the camera and behind the computer screen.

Thanks again, Kate!

Don't you Dare Trash that Dress!

Consider getting down and dirty for your anniversary or before you get your gown professionally dry cleaned. After your shoot, you can also donate your gown to Brides Against Breast Cancer.

My advice to all of you beautiful brides out there: don't torch your dress, spray paint it or cut it up just because you know your daughter will not be walking down the aisle on her wedding day in your gown. Instead, why not save your carbon footprint for an Escalade you want to test drive for fun!

"Don't You Dare Trash the Dress" shoots are available all year long and I'm open to any ideas you have about how and where you want to get dirty!

My Bride, Jani wanted to do this shoot to surprise her lovely husband for their anniversary. Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Chris and Jani! All the best to you both forever and ever!
