A Softer Image

When Meghann first contacted me about trashing her wedding dress, I was elated. I could tell immediately that she was up for anything - and she was the best sport, ever. She spent nearly two hours holding enormous, heavy weapons in the rain. Butch Thompson and Ben and Francine Apple from the IWLA in Leesburg, VA were kind enough to show us how to do things right and helped in every way possible.

This is the first part of the shoot (both in the photography sense and the gun sense!). Click on the photo to be taken to a larger version (they’re a lot more powerful). More to come.

Meghann will also be donating her dress to a group in NE (the Mary Madeline Project) that takes old wedding dresses apart and makes burial gowns for infants that pass away. Then they donate them to families who are too poor to buy a gown, or too distressed to shop for one.

You can see the other parts of this session here and here.

Also, I need to give a major shout out to Brad, who held an umbrella over me the whole time and was also willing to lie on the ground for a photo op. I’ve never had a better assistant-slash-fiancé. :)
