Nicole Trashes the Dress - LONDON

This was my second time working with Nicole only this time we hit the streets of London! I don't think it matters what time of year it is in London, it is always packed with tourist, however this time round it seemed even busier than usual.

Combine a gorgeous girl with an exceptionally beautiful dress & you have any photographers dream come true! This dress was made for Nicole, she just looks adorable in it!

After a day around London we headed up to Primrose Hill for some shots at dusk, I didn't realize just how busy it would be up there, but this seems like the perfect place to go to watch the sunset & see the city lights.

Nicole is a very talented make up artist & I will be meeting up with her again next month when she travels up from London to do the make up of some girls who I'll be photographing for a boudoir shoot.

Here are some of my favourites from Nicole's Trash the Dress in London.

Tammy & Davey - Trash the Dress!

I shot Tammy & Davey's wedding back in June, the post shoot had been booked for August, however we certainly didnt get great weather in August & so it was postponed until September. Thankfully the weather was really good this time.

We headed out at teatime to get that nice golden glow & started at Seaton Sluice beach. I love this beach as it is usually very quiet, but due to the good weather it was quite busy with jet skis & people just out for the day. We then headed down to St Mary's to the rocks which is a particular favourite place of mine at the moment as I love the different textures of the rocks with the sea in the background, you could almost be anywhere!!

Tammy then mentioned she'd like to get in the water (obviously I was getting rather excited at this point & knew exactly what shots I wanted) so off to Tynemouth Longsands we went, we were starting to lose the light & by the time we arrived the beach was in shade so I had to use some fill in flash. The sun was setting fast behind St Georges church. Tammy & Davey walked into the sea to adjust to the temperature & then I got the shots I wanted :-) The beach was quite crowed with people watching but I think lying in the cold water was the only thing on Tammy's mind & she was oblivious to the onlookers.

Here are some of my favourites from their photo shoot.

Em Trashes the Dress!

Em is just a star when it comes to being photographed now. After shooting her wedding & then her post shoot, she is more than used to being photographed & just knows exactly what to do. We shot at various locations, each just a quick stop, out the car, get the shots & then off to the next location. One of our locations was an old abandoned warehouse which is fenced off to the public, however I really wanted some shots in here & so we managed to fit through a tiny gap in the fence & get some shots. This place is so creepy yet the perfect setting for a TTD shoot!! Broken windows, graffiti & flakey paint ;-)

The weather wasn't great but that comes with living in the North of England I guess! However the light was very balanced making my job easier!

Here are some of my favourites from Em's TTD shoot.
