Who would have ever EVER thought that the dress that you have waited your whole life to buy, the one you fantasized about when you were ten, the one that when you are 20 you buy bridal magazines to figure out what kind of wedding you want to have…YES THAT DRESS….your Wedding dress…….Who would have ever thought that after your wedding you would want to have a “trash the dress” session….and totally “TRASH IT” but seriously these pictures turned out SO FREAKING AWESOME, I’m considering having my dress altered a few sizes to fit me (hahahahahah) so I can do one of these sessions myself……..On my last post I mentioned the soaking pool at McMenamins….what a treat! Its similar to a swimming pool, only closer to the temperature of a hot tub, only not quite so hot…..it was PERFECT….it was relaxing, it was energizing, it could be romantic, it was steamy, and a little creepy….all at the same time. I want to go back, just to sit in that thing! ANY HOO…..I got the honor of learning from Kevin Kubota at this PPO seminar. Kevin is an Awesome Teacher, and is so down to earth! There were like 60 other people down at the pool that morning and it was only about 30 degrees out!!!!!! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR…….

If you want to do a session like this, it is so much fun…..it can be any level of trashing you want….we can get your dress a little dirty or REALLY dirty it’s totally up to you! IN these photos we included the groom which was Awesome  in the pool, and I’ve never seen a trash the dress session including a groom, so that was a nice change!!! FYI-  girls, we can also do a trash the dress session with your prom dress! VERY COOL, and I can almost bet your BFF is not going to have those kinds of pics!!!!!!!!!
