Trash the Dress] Ottawa Trash the Dress photographer

Welcome to a preview of Dagmar's recent trash the dress session in Ottawa. Dagmar didn't get the chance to wear her dress the way she wanted to on her wedding day when the shop released a crinoline of the wrong size. Among other things, D was looking to create some amazing images with her dress the way it was meant to be. With her enthusiastic mother-in-law as my lighting assistant (thanks mum!) and her hubby Jim -the hero who drove back almost an hour for the special order orchids and some amazing early November weather we rocked it! Here's is a preview of our super fun trash the dress session. Thanks D, Jim and mum for a super fun time...

WHAT SHE SAID:
I saw the "sneak preview" and I love it already! I can't thank you enough. I feel like there has been a big weight lifted off my shoulders and I FINALLY have peace of mind being able to wear my dress as it was supposed to be and having memorable pictures of it. My mother-in-law had a lot of fun as the photographer's assistant and the 3 of us enjoyed a wonderful dinner at our wedding location afterwards. Jimmy agreed that you are very bubbly, fun, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Anyways, thank you again and I have already recommended you to all of my newly wedded friends. Jimmy and I will definitely have you at the top of our list for future family and, hopefully, baby photo shoots!

I just missed the Jason Meyers collection, which was a real shame, because this young designer is amazing and has been featured on Fashion File. I encourage everyone to check out his collection which will be available online -awesome for all of us! Here are some of my favorites from the Lizares and Thieves by Sonja den Elzen this evening:
