Trash the Dress- No more excuses!!! Wedding photography

Many people out there just don't know what to think about trash the dress bridal sessions. I had to share this story with you. First off- I love trash the dress sessions! I love taking these girls and making them look completely HOT in such a different setting than the same ol' church setting! Mud? Who would think a girl could look completely gorgeous in mud? (besides a guy:) Check out my TTD photos and you'll think otherwise! I LOVE TTD sessions because I think they are such a romantic way to show everyone that this is the man your going to be with forever so there is no need to keep the dress for any other reason! Get a beautiful photo of yourself and then blow it up really big and put it in your home, in your room even better to remind your hub of your dedication to him!
Here's the thing. Just because you have testified this to everyone does not mean that you are really done with the dress...get it dry cleaned afterward and your good to go! My dress has been in my closet for 4 years now and I WISH I had a photographer way back when to shoot me in it- in an awesome location! Where would the dress be still, now? Still in my closet! All wrapped up nicely however I would have some killer photos hangin' on the wall right now!
So get this...My trash the dress photos were noticed out in Europe. Someone loved a dress so much from a trash the dress session that she offered to BUY the dress of the bride! Luckily- this just happened to be a dress I bought for the sole reason of doing a few TTD sessions to build up that part of my portfolio. This dress has been through 4 sessions! 2 in the river, 2 in the mud! And guess what? It looks awesome! Still white and beautiful. What did I do to clean it off? Sprayed it down with a hose and let it air dry! Oye Vey, imagine if you had it dry cleaned how bright it would be! The dress is being shipped off tomorrow to Belgium for who? Another bride, a slightly less fortunate one who cant afford a brand new dress but in any case- for another bride! So no more excuses on the whole TTD ruining my dress peeps! If you don't like the idea, no prob, but if you do like the idea, there are no more excuses NOT to do it:)

Flowers for my Friends..

I hope you all had a fabulous Valentines Day! I was lucky enough to receive these beautiful tulips (my favorite flower) from my husband and I wanted to share them with you all!!!
...love Ari
I am also looking at these flower photos and considering creating a float wrap collage above my bed in my house- they would look killer! If any of you are interested in having any of these photos up in your home just let me know and I will only charge for the printing- not the photo!:)
