Although I consider myself a children’s photographer, I was thrilled to take part in a photographer shootout with five gorgous brides (three of which, brought their real life grooms) in beautiful Lake Arrowhead, California. I loved being able to step out of what I normally do and try something different. Southern California has an awesome photography community. I’ve met many local photographers with a willingness to share and are super nice to boot. I really enjoy being a part of the camraderie.
I have lots of images to blog from this shoot so I’ll let them speak for themselves.
The theme: Winter Wonderland Trash the Dress.

At the end of the day, a few photographers stayed behind to photograph one of the couples with the sunset. It was getting cold and I was hungry and I contemplated waiting in the car but was SO GLAD that I pushed myself. If I didn’t, I would have never gotten this shot.
