Eureka! POTD 7.17.06
You all know what it feels like when something just "clicks" inside, right? I found that click for myself. Unfortunately, we don't have any beaches near home, so I'll just have to get a bit more creative, but I absolutely LOVE this trash the dress stuff! The messier/dirtier the better! My SIL and brother were also on vacation, so I got the chance to catch up with them. They are a very artistic couple, up for anything and also celebrating their 2nd anniversary while down by chance. I thought it would be kinda fun to do some non-traditional anniversary pics for them and suggested this trash the dress idea. They jumped right on it, which thrilled me for I didn't know if they would want to play "dress up" and then, get soaking on top of that. We headed to Goodwill and found their outfits for a total of $30 and then, headed to the beach while grandma/grandpa and Nana watched little son. I have never felt more alive and creative. This is just a sampling as I'm on my parents computer and don't have all my nifty PS stuff that I do at home, so I'll wait to post the rest. Of course, I think I'll wait to do much more of these types of shoots because it was a bit tough being 7months pregnant, trying to get all these creative angles and you should have SEEN the onlookers! You would have thought we were celebrities or something.

How fun. I need to try something like this. You got some great shots here. I can't wait to see the edited versions. Great Job.
I have to admit when I first saw the pictures my thought was "I can't believe she ruined her wedding dress." I am so glad they were only from goodwill. Very cool.
Oh Heather... These are just incredible!!! I love the poses you got--amazing!! This is really just so much fun. And, what a fab idea to get clothes from Goodwill. They look great, but hold no sentimental value in case they are really ruined. AWESOME IDEA AND PICTURES!! Too bad you don't have a beach near home. You really rocked these!
Speaking of your home... aren't you in the Springs?? My brother and SIL just moved there a week ago. They are in the process of looking for a home and trying to get settled. My bro lived there for 4 years about 3 years ago, so it's sort of like going home for him. SIL, however, has never lived outside of TX. Quite a change... Anyway, it looks like I'll be visiting that direction fairly often. Fun!
looks like you had a blast! the posing is great-very creative. and i love seeing your work. always an inspiration for me. lol about the people watching! i can only imagine.
That looks so fun & you'd never be able to tell it's goodwill, it just looks like a fabulous and fun couple on their wedding day... totally carefree & so excited to be united! I love the ring shot... so great! I need a beach now, I'm ready to go do the same fun!!!
These are beautiful! And looks like so much fun. The 2nd & 3rd from the bottom are my absolute faves!
