Trash the Dress... (not so "trashy")

So "trash the dress" has become a little scary for some brides who spend ALOT of money on their wedding gowns and don't necessarily want to "DESTROY" the gown they cherish so much.. . There's always the option of making it a "clean" trash the dress session... All 2009 couples are invited to book their wedding with me and are given a FREE BRIDAL SHOOT after their wedding, once they return from their honeymoon...

After Ivette and Mauricio's lavish Venezuelan Wedding back in September and after their amazing honeymoon in Mexico, we teamed up again to shoot their session... (you'll also meet my newest assistant, Danny Gilbert) seen in one of my shots... Stay tuned to check out some of Danny's Photos featured on my blog soon. Danny and I have been shooting for the past 3 days, so you'll defenitely want to check out the blog in the days to come. I'll be featuring all his work on one blog post from our 3 day sessions! Danny's really young in the career of photography and is defenitely stepping up to the demands of being a photographer for ALINA M.... He has extensive experience in the Event Coordinating business and his artistic vision comes to life in his photography as well!

Here are just some of the pictures from the shoot today.. :)
