Flaunt the Frock …

I had the BEST, most fun session last night with my Trash the Dress models …. we had a BLAST and the girls just worked it! Amy and Jenny, you gals are awesome! Thanks for (mildly!) trashing your dress with Gigi Photography!

First up – Miss Amy – mom to an adorable little boy, wife and business owner … and just as sweet as you can get!

This was in front of a funeral home – we were laughing, thinking, it must look kind of – er, strange – to have two brides out front of a funeral home … ohhh, good times!

We changed locations lots …. LOVED this alley (Thanks, Gid!) …

Amy brought along her friend, Jenny, who I just LOVED – her look was amazing! So unique and STUNNING! Jenny’s wedding dress was her grandma’s and her mom’s dress – how unique is that?

Ten points for guessing who she looks like in this shot  …….. my FAVOURITE person in the whole wide world ….  in the White Way of Delight. Does that ring a bell?!

WOW! Jenny, you are SO BEAUTIFUL!

By the end of the shoot, we decided to do the water shots, but only feet as it was FREEZING – only 12 degrees by this time of the night and I’m positive the water was about 60 degrees F., if that. Brrrrr!

… but don’t you love how the shots turned out?!

Rose WOW the pictures are absolutely stunning..the apple blossoms are breath taking:) Trashing the dress is way better than having it stored in a white box with a plastic window!lol

Michelle Those Trash the Dress pics are awesome!! I agree with you that the Alley pic is really cool! It looks like you gals had a blast. O.k. so my girls and I are true “sweets” lovers and for us the Pretty in Pink cupcakes are a must for our tea parties!

Amanda I saw these at a baby show in Brampton. I can’t wait till my girls are old enough so I can buy them. Why couldn’t they have had neat stuff like this when I was young???

Maple OMG Ally would go nuts over the heart shaped sugar cookies never mind the cake….they are adorable!

Sherri Smith You’re making me think of wearing my gown for my 40’s decade shoot with you later this year after I move there. I can still get into it 16 years later, as long as I don’t breath too deep. Hope you make me look as fantastic as these models.

Amy I love the cake!!! Great for tea parties ( if I could get Nora to sit long enough to have a tea party with me). The trash the dress pics are amazing. I hope that Natalie will do them after the wedding.
