Rachel’s Trash the Dress

I’ve been trying for three years to find a bride willing to use and abuse her dress after the wedding with a trash the dress session. Finally Rachel stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park. We started at the Stephenville City Park for a few.

Then we headed out to this great little road where Rachel had seen a tree that had been cut down. It made the perfect setting for a shoot like this.

We finished up at the Erath County Volunteer Fire Department. Rachel’s husband Kevin is a firefighter there so she wanted some shots that would mean a lot to him.

Then we set up for the shot that we’d planned for weeks to get. To be honest, I still can’t believe we convinced Rachel to do this one. It was cold outside before we ever fired the water up. This is really one of those ideas better suited for a warm summer day, but we pulled it off anyway. Rachel was a trooper. And thanks to her mom for talking her into this in the first place.

With Mallorie, we shot for a few hours at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. I’ve shot there before and loved it. Mallorie was really brave with her dress, which made for some great shots.

For the second half of the shoot, we went to DKR Memorial Stadium in Austin where the Longhorns play. Unfortunately, they were working on the field so we couldn’t shoot there. But, we made up for it by shooting inside Mack Brown’s office and the Longhorn locker room. It made for some amazingly unique portraits.
