"Trashing the Dress" at the Salton Sea!

For those of you not familiar with the latest trend in wedding photography, "Trashing the Dress" is an event some brides do after their wedding day is finished. They sacrifice their dress for some terrfic and dramatic photographs. The most common type of "trashing" is on the beach or in water. Photographer Chris Austin organized a Trash the Dress photo shoot last month and invited brides, models, photographers, stylists, make up artists -- everyone -- to the Salton Sea (middle of nowhere in Riverside and Imperial County). I was fortunate enough to participate and came away with some great shots, new friends, and even learned a few new photography techniques.
