peiling and chen-yang : trash the dress… before the wedding?

Yes that’s right. Peiling and Chen Yang are getting married in Singapore- next year. In the dress that we trashed last weekend. They are going to have to go down in my books as the bravest couple I’ve ever worked with. The couple had decided that this would be a fun surprise to have as a slide show at their wedding reception next fall. Their friends and family don’t even know that they have the dress yet, let alone that we’ve trashed it! Not only that, but they did a ton of research to find just the right photographer for the session. So we are extremely honored that they drove all the way from Ohio to have us create these beautiful pictures for them.

So yes, i was a bit surprised that they wanted to do a trash the dress session with THE dress that Peiling plans on wearing on her big day. But when I asked them if they wanted to wear a different dress instead, they said nope. They will just get the dress dry cleaned and it will be as good as new.

Wow! I like their style. 

Here are a few sneak peeks! And as always, I’d love to hear your comments:)
