Here are a few pics from the day. (careful, some of them are pretty steamy)

I feel good each time I am asked to photograph a couples special day, but I was SO excited to have been trusted so much that they had to take me with them to Montego Bay.

After meeting with Chad and Lindsay – I was even more excited, as the wedding and reception was held at the all inclusive, 5 star resort – Iberostar Rose Hall Suites.

Destination weddings are a lot of work – not only for me, but for everyone involved and attending.  It means taking a full weekend (or more) off and lots of travel and commitment.  That makes it so much more special when you have over 60 people there with you!

Since I was in Jamaica for a few days after the wedding, I suggested to Lindsay and Chad that we walk around for a little while for a day after session.  They were both really excited and ready for it.

Take a look at some pictures from the day and be sure to check out the slideshow at the bottom.

you may notice a new name and logo – same great pictures though!

“Your Timeless Photos”  has served me very well, but it was time to transition to something that spoke a little bit more “Me”.

There are a bunch of new posts coming down the line – and a new website should be launching soon! – till then the original site is still up and running.

The wedding and reception were all held at the very beautiful Addy Sea Bed and Breakfast.  Eva, Brian and their guests were all extremely welcoming and fun to be around.  This crowd came to party.  The band hand to tell people to stop dancing… yeah, it was that kind of night .

The day started off with everyone getting ready then on to the ceremony.  Immediately following the ceremony, Eva and Brian asked me to follow them back inside.  Eva grabbed an envelope that they have been holding onto for a little while now.  This was when they found out that they are having a baby girl!!!!  I was especially honored and excited to be part of that special moment between them.

At the end of the night, we took a walk to the shore line and got in a day of trash the dress session!  Ok, so it just got a little wet… but that is more than most brides want to do the day of the wedding.  It was lots of fun!

Here are a few from the day.

I was lucky enough to get to spend time working with Rachel.  If you think she looks familiar… you’re right.  She was one of the fun brides that I got to work with a while back at the huge Trash the Dress event, at the same location.

Here are a few from the shoot.  Check the link below for a full gallery on Facebook.

Atlantic City Photog Shootout

(feel free to add me as a friend too!)

Leave a comment below about what you thought about the clip!

Last week there was a conference/seminar being held in Atlantic City, NJ. On Tuesday night, 11 brides and around 50 photographers gathered for a new trend called “Trash The Dress”

Some people are now thinking…”you do what to the dress!?”
The idea behind this type of shoot: To go out, after the wedding, and take some really cool looking images with out worrying if the dress will get a little dirty or not. Some photographers/brides take it to even more extremes by submerging themselves into water, mud, climbing up trees and all sorts. Also, you would be surprised what actually does wash out!
TTD may not be for eveyone. But for those that who want to get some very unique images, and don’t want to just leave the dress in a box in the back of a closet, Thats who these are for.

The group I was placed with was working with Jessica, who’s wedding was earlier this year. She was great to work with and super energetic through the whole shoot.

For those interested you can check out the official TTD site at Trashthedress.com.
…why trash the dress: (from the TTD site)

“Go ahead, you know you want to. Trash it. Get it dirty. Get it wet. Roll around in the mud. Drench it in the ocean. Totally trash it.

Why? … Why not? You’ve made a commitment to your husband. He’s your one and only true love, right? Then you’ll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won’t wear it in 20-30 years. So you have two choices:

1) Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet
2) Show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun pictures while you do it”<
