Trashing the Dress - On A Horse!

Hooray

I spoke to a manager at the Centennial Stables. They are familiar with doing these sort of shoots and the cost is only $100 for one hr with the horse and handler! And includes boot and helmet hire.

The only catch is you must have a helmet on when you are on the horse. Which makes sense, but it is a pretty big drawback. However they have black ones, so maybe they can fuzz it out or as the lady described, let the powers of Photoshop do their magic.

And if you do the shoot on the weekday and you can wander around the stable for some other shots as well :D bonus!

Actually it would be great for pre-wedding shots too.

The Plot Thickens...

I'm putting this here so I don't forget. They are $20 bucks from Dick Smith! Much cheaper to buy than hire!

Is that...

...a flower on your lapel?

or a cabbage
on your shoulder?




ponders...
I wonder if it comes in broccoli? I like broccoli.

HEY there's a thought! Brocolli as the bouquets! hahaha!
Cheaper than roses, it will be in season - And you can stir-fry afterwards. How Practical!

Making Corsages

I would like to make some of these...

I wonder if ill have time?

To Throw or Not to Throw

Girls!

Do I Toss the bouquet?

Will you catch it? If you don't plan on diving for it. I don't want to mangle the flowers.

Another Photographer

This guy is linked to facebook. And hes really upfront about his fees which is nice.

But I'm not sure that hes done Asian weddings.

CatoandPado - he also does trash the dress shoots which I really want to have done :)
