Trash the Dress: OC Style!

Yesterday's Trash the Dress was such a success thanks to all the brides, couples and photographers who showed up! The OC Register even came out to cover the event. If you want to read the article they wrote click here. You can also see the video they got by clicking here. Do you recognize me in the video? I had no idea that I was so camera-shy, but yesterday I found out I am!

I want to thank all the brides/couples who showed up to the Trash the Dress Bash in Laguna Beach! You guys rocked! I loved how much fun everyone had!

A huge thanks to all my fellow colleagues! It was such an honor to meet you all! I admire you all and I am glad you all contributed in making this Trash the Dress Bash such a success. I can't wait to see all the images!

I wish I could have been able to capture some images as well (I did get a couple), but I wanted to make sure I kept track of who was photographing who. I did manage to get a lot of images of some of the photographers hard at work! Art did get a couple of shots of the brides, though!

Here are some of the images I caught of the photographers:

Greg Bumatay was not shy about getting soaked! I can't tell you how many times he got washed up by the waves! He even risked his camera!


Do you recognize the guy with my yellow camera bag? That's Art (my hubby). Miguel Pola is the one photographing the couple. He was so awesome and all over the place - he has tons of energy!


The beautiful and talented Shyla was amazing! She is definitely one of the sweetest people I have met!


Here is Greg Bumatay again and Jan Garcia. I learned so much just by watching these two VERY amazing and talented photographers!


Can you tell they were having fun?



Here are some of the images Art, my partner in crime, got:
