Eager for an excuse to wear her beautiful gown again, and get some super relaxed beach shots Gwen, Phil and I decided to do a “trash the dress” shoot. Only not quite TRASH the dress, more just get it a bit wet and sandy before sending it off to the dry cleaners and the back of the wardrobe! We were super lucky and planed the shoot on a day that turned out to be a stunner. Here are some of my favourites from the afternoon down on Inchydoney. And while it was a sunny day, it was back in May. The water was FREEZING! So respect to Gwen who ran in and splashed around without hardly flinching.
