Cocoa Beach – Trash the Dress
02.28.2010trash the dress

I started talking to Manza a couple months ago about doing a super fun, super trashy, Trash the Dress session in Cocoa Beach! She was on her way down here for a conference from the blistering cold Wisconsin, and wanted to enjoy a little Florida sunshine and beach. Florida or not, it was still pretty cold (for me, anyways) when she fearlessly jumped in the Atlantic for a little sand and surf! I’m sort of sad I missed out on all of the gawking tourists (er, paparazzi), but her session was wet, sandy and gorgeous!

Here’s a quick teaser before I head to bed! (Starting with my favorite “trashed” shot, then a couple from the beginning of her session!)

….Before we trashed the dress, she looked absolutely stunning!

Lauren and Jason Kube are quite possibly one of the sexiest couples I’ve worked with! These two are on fire, and we had a steamy downtown Orlando Trash the Dress session. Lauren had a classic chic Jessica McClintock gown and dark teal sash. I can’t wait to post the whole shoot, but for now, I’m excited to post these teasers!

And special thanks to Hamburger Mary’s and Church Street Station for the awesome locations!

Lauren gets all the credit for stumbling on Hamburger Mary’s. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to Church Street and never gone inside! I’m a huge fan now!

Not to mention, they have the cutest pink and green umbrellas outside on their “patio”. We had an audience of servers with their faces pressed against the glass, too.

I HAD to add this one… if not for the green umbrellas, for the fact that I asked them to do something “them”… and Jason busted out the robot. Lauren = not amused. I thought it was funny. The second picture is the after-effect of the Robot. That’s disbelief you see on her face.

This was actually one of the first shots, but I did a different little editing technique so I wanted to put it closer to the end.

Love this shot on the right!
