Salton Sea Trash the Dress

We braved a “beach” not of sand but of fish scales. Yep, 30+ wedding photographers, 8 brides, 4 grooms, 4 make-up artists woke-up at ungodly hours on Saturday to visit this decrepit place and had a photo extravaganza! I wonder if the birds at Salton Sea are still hearing shutter clicks…

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day:

Jessie

Jay. She worked the camera so well, I asked her if she did modeling. And she laughed! Doesn’t she kind of look like Rebecca Romijn here?

The nice thing about shooting at a decrepit place is that when there are a dozen other photographers in front of you, you can just find another hole on another side. Makes for a nice frame, too:)

Natalie. She and her husband, Adam are pros with the camera, as well. Their wedding photographer trained them well!

“Honey, they said to kiss me!”

Thanks so much to all the photographers, models, and make-up artists who made this happen! Especially to Chris Austin who organized the whole bash!

Also, thanks, Eddie, for carpooling with me! Have I talked you into using Google Reader, yet? :P

Yay! It was great cruising up with you. These are awesome. I love the “Honey, they said to kiss me.” Google Reader – yep, you’ve piqued my interest. Have I done it yet? I’m still recovering from the shoot! (I got a little sick.) That’ll teach me to actually hydrate myself while shooting in the sun all day! : /

Nely, it was so good to see you again. Even in a decrepit place like the Salton Sea! You captured some really killer images, and I had to look twice at the shot with the dirty hands to see if it was a window or not!

Nely,
It was nice to meet you briefly at the Salton Sea Trash the Dress Session. I really love what you’ve done with the photos. You got some really different angles of the brides! I love the 2nd picture of Jaye! My husband Ron & I really had a great time that day! Thanks for putting us up on your blog! :)
