If you’ve been absent from social media, you may not be aware that I attended United 2014 recently.  United is a photographer’s conference that was held in Santa Barbara at the Fess Parker Double Tree Hilton and put on by the crew that runs Showit (my website host) and PASS (a photo sharing system).  I’ll share more about my experience at another time because I think it truly deserves its own post.

During the first full morning I attended a Trash the Dress shoot that was organized by Samantha and Mikey of The Photography Smiths.  I was pretty excited about this shoot because I haven’t actually had a bride that’s wanted to do one but a little nervous because I’ve heard horror stories of these types of shoots gone wrong.  Of course, I knew that wouldn’t be the case for this shoot, but it did give me an opportunity to ‘dress ruining’ photos and make them elegant.  The models braved a cold and early morning in order for a swarm of photographers to grab some amazing shots of them on the beach prior to the sun coming out.

Thanks to the Samantha and Mikey for organizing this shoot: Models (in order)- Kristen Wiersma, Fernanda Santini, Heidi Watson | Hair: Taylor DeZavala  | Make-Up Artist: Marla Nyamdorj.
