Trash the Dress in Penticton British Columbia

Monday, August 02 2010

Despite the rumour mill, a "Trash the Dress Photography Session" does not neccessarily mean 'trashing the wedding gown'. It may mean different things to different people, so it's best to discuss the details of the shoot with your photographer in advance. Simply google this and you will find an array of sessions ranging from A to Z. To me however, it simply means doing things you normally would not do in your gown on your wedding day.

In Magda's case, it meant climbing a 45 degree hill in Penticton, British Columbia :) The Okanagan Valley is truly beautiful. My vision was to shoot on a windy day with black clouds on top of a hill overlooking the valley. Not too much to ask for ;) Needless to say, the day of the shoot was perfect. I got exactly what I wanted and more! As we drove into the Penticton vineyards, we found the perfect hill in the distance and our location was set. On our climb up, we met a local photographer and his nephew. Within no time, we were cracking jokes and sharing stories. They were nice enough to stick around and hold the lights during our shoot. Thanks again guys!

In the early afternoon Magda's hubby, Mike joined us. We had found an old rustic truck days in advance and shot the couple session there. I was really ecstatic and had an amazing time shooting these two love birds. Thanks so much for helping me execute my vision.

 Magda and I noticed this hill and knew the view would be spectacular up there.

It took a while to position Magda on this rock, but it was worth the effort!

The clouds started rolling in and it got pretty cool. I asked Magda to wrap herself in the red tule to warm up.

Great work Kinga! In the first image I see the umbrella holding up the tule. You may want to "PS" it out if you print it for her. Lovely work in all the images. :) :)

Kinga,

These images are exceptionally beautiful. The colors and tones are so striking and that model....wow she is gorgeous. Pretty incredible what you can do!

Mike on August 08 2010 at 02:53 PM says:

Wow! These are great dynamic shots with a beautiful model! She looks great! And to boot I got a chance to have some exposure to see you doing what you love. You supplied me with tips and gave me the spark to enjoy photography -as you do every occasion. I could learn much more, if only I was at more shoots! Your interest and personnal success has given me inspiration. I am so proud you are enjoying your talents and success abounds! Keep up the great work Kinga. Thank you.
