Frequently asked questions
Get Your Drink on...
She looks upset and lost while her new husband is in a drunken sleep. If you check out the video session it's at this point where she has the gun in her hand and puts it to his head! I understand the twisted outlook on weddings and how the pressure of the industry and family members can get to you, but would you look back at these photos and smile?
Show Some Skin...
Do they look like a real couple or do they look like models promoting the photographer's talent? Here the bride looks frightened and afraid of her husband who is demanding her to take off her wedding dress. That may be part of the story behind the photo, but where is the passion and the love?
Burn Baby Burn...
After all the drinking, smoking, trashing, and gunslinging it's finally time to burn her dress! It's a bold statement that says to me that they want to move on from the pressures of planning a wedding to having a rocking marriage. In the end they are walking away from the mess of it all holding hands, they are walking** away **together. Could you burn your wedding dress or would you donate or sell it?

It's who they are. Could I do it, no not everyone could. **What is your take on this "trash the dress" session? **
