When Caroline Graham approached Erin L. Hubbs about doing a Trash the Dress sesssion, I was super excited to be a part of it! Lots of brides take part in trashing the dress...some even look at is another form of commitment to their marriage - one dress for one man. You'll never wear it again, so why not put it on one last time and get some really fun and artistic photos with it?!
To make Caroline's Trash the Dress session a bit different, the photographer, Erin L. Hubbs, decided to use a water fountain near Uptown Charlotte at night. The nightime backdrop really gave the shoot a sense of elegance and seduction, and Caroline is definitely a sultry bride!
For her makeup, I knew she would be fully submerged in the fountain at several points in the shoot, so I took precautions to "waterproof" her makeup, including sealing in her foundation with airbrush makeup. She had a dramatic shimmery smokey eye and pink glossy lips. Her hair was styled in a half up-do for her formal photos, and taken down before she got in the water. The black magic roses were the perfect accessory.
After the photo shoot, which lasted about 45 minutes in the cold water, and having been submerged several times, and holding her face under the running fountain, Caroline emerged from the water with her makeup still intact! Nothing ran or streaked - even her lipgloss still shined!
Thank you to the very talented David Luddy for capturing this on video. David is a true artist, and I highly recommend him for your video needs. Stay tuned for the still shots from Erin L Hubbs!
