DC, Northern VA, MD, destination Wedding Photographer Allison Britton Photography

Michelle and Damion were actually married in Vegas at a venue that doesn’t allow outside photographers.  So sadly I couldn’t go.  I knew that they wanted to do a trash the dress session for a long time and had it on the books for quite sometime.  So when Ellen from the Washington Post called me wanting to witness a trash the dress for the new section of the Post on weddings I knew these two would be perfect.  They wanted to completely trash the dress in my parent’s river in Edinburg, VA at the end of the session and I had a laundry list of things I wanted that I can’t always get in the DC metro area and have time on the day of a wedding.  Most importantly they were all on board to let me roll and be creative.  BONUS!!

I won’t lie I was freaking out about the session.  Who wants to be infront of the camera when they are a photographer?  Plus I was getting in the river too so I had to dress appropriately.   So now there was Michelle excited about the added guests and me.  I will admit we were a little wacky at first for Damion and my hubby Chris to handle but I think we calmed down quickly and did our thing.  I am so excited to share part one from this session.  I still have a lot to edit but I know Michelle is excited to see them.  She told me she is checking the blog 10xs a day.  So here is part 1, no trashing just yet.  I believe the article is going to run the first weekend of September.  I will update that soon.
