Shayda and I have known each other casually for about a handful of years now. When she emailed me asking me to photograph her trash the dress session, I was more than thrilled. When Shayda and her mom met at my place to prepare for her trash the dress, we were a little bit disappointed because it started to rain. Shayda was a little bit nervous because she just came from getting her hair nicely blown. So I had to think quickly of a place to shoot this session and I immediately thought of the West Loop area where we shot my trash the dress event a few short weeks ago. With that location, we at least had the expressway over our head to keep us dry.
I must say that I was pleasantly SHOCKED how comfortable Shayda was in front of the camera. She didn’t even need any time to warm up at all. As soon as I hit that first shutter, she was ON!! I had such a hard time editing her pictures because I was picking EVERY SINGLE PICTURE to edit because they all, in my opinion, turned out beautiful. Let me know what you think?? I love you Shayda!! Thank you for allowing me to “trash your dress”. Gosh we had soooooo much fun!!!! We were giggling like little girls!
