Orange County Trash the Dress | Encore Session | Michelle

Main Entry: en·core

Pronunciation: \ˈän-ˌkr\
Function: noun
Etymology: French, still, again
Date: 1712

1 : a demand for repetition or reappearance made by an audience
2 a : a reappearance or additional performance demanded by an audience b : a second achievement especially that surpasses the first

What is an encore session you ask? It’s a combination of “day after”, “trash the dress” and “bridal portraits.”  It gives all brides an opportunity to put their wedding gown back on one more time.  Some may want to trash it, but I have discovered that most don’t.  Here is a session I did for Michelle from Mele Amore : Happy Love Events.   The talented Jamie Michele was responsible for styling and the lovely makeup on Michelle.  Hope you guys enjoy these images!

Malibu Wedding | Cypress Sea Cove | Jill + Scott

When Hanssie Trainor of H by Hanssie asked if I would 2nd shoot for Jill and Scott’s wedding at the Cypress Sea Cove, I jumped at the chance.  These two are extremely loving and beautiful inside and out.  Their beautiful wedding was at the Cypress Sea Cove in Malibu on a beautiful and warm September day.  There were lots of amazing details and here are a few of my favorites!
