Trash the Dress : Sarah & Sam

This is another great session from a few weeks ago when I had a photography packed weekend with some new friends: Allie and Chris, Annie and Toby, Cailyn, Amanda, and Sarah. We came from five different states and met up in Cincinnati for some photographic awesomeness. After reading this post click on their names and check out their talent.

This was not only a special shoot because we were trashing an actual wedding dress but the bride was our fellow photographer, Sarah, and her husband, Sam. The trashing weapon of choice-paint. I’ll admit while editing this session I was particularly inspired by the paint, blank canvas, and thought of unique creations. I did something a bit different with the images below. I always treat each photograph as a piece of art but tend to find a particular “look” I like with most of the images and tie a whole shoot together. Well, I’m not sure if it was the paint that inspired me or the memory of something Sarah had said while we we photographing her (she and her husband planned on framing the dress and hanging it to display in the house) but I treated each photo from this session completely as it’s own canvas and processed them each individually without regard to how I had edited the previous photo. It took a bit longer than normal but I really like the result.

Also, with this post I’m trying out a new image display and watermark. I think the result is a step up, with cleaner lines, larger images, and a more simplistic representation of the company name. I’ll be using “P.S.” for some creative branding in the future so stay tuned for that.
