Trash the dress with Heather
Heather and Christian got married last year in August. I have thoroughly enjoyed being there on their day.
It was to my nice surprise that almost one year later Christian contacted me thinking to surprise Heather for their first anniversary by offering her a ‘trash the dress’ session with me. He knew his wife would be absolutely thrilled to wear her gorgeous dress again.
So here I went to Barrie on an amazingly beautiful September day. We had, again, a lot of fun together. Heather looked stunning, she was so playful and daring, she ended up going into the water all the way! I feel blessed for this great opportunity that allowed me to fully express my creative vision while getting to work again with this very special couple!
I have to say a big Thank You to Christian who has organized it all and even brought a canoe. He was so very patient and helpful throughout the shoot, making sure his wife was comfy and having a lot of fun!
In case you are wondering, the dress is doing just fine, it did not suffer any injuries in the process and I am very happy about this part. I am all for ‘mild’ such sessions, following which the bride gets to still enjoy the intact beauty of her cherished gown.
Big hug to you guys and we shall see you soon!

What gorgeous shots!! I see that the dress really didn’t get trashed….just a little wet! I was glad for that, since it’s a beautiful dress. I love the contrast of red in many of the photos — and the water shots! Beautiful work again, Manuela! You have a truly amazing eye for photography. Brides will be lining up to ‘trash’ their own dresses when they see these shots!
These are amazing photographs! I love the water shots and she looks so relaxed and happy! You have a way of getting people to be themselves in the photos you take. They are so beautiful!
Very clean look. Lots of new good stuff here Manuela! 🙂
I don’t know what to say…just absolutely stunning and natural photos!! I love how well the red (my fav colour) plays into the shoots…it makes the whole image just pop! I can’t wait until we take our engagement shoots as I’m sure they will just as fantastic! Awesome job Manuela!
Congratulations Manuela! The photos are beautiful. I’m amazed how you were able to weave the red theme into the shots at the various set-ups. Looking forward to more dress trashing in the future.
Manuela you are such an amazing photographer. I love the unique style of your photos and how natural and candid they are.
The trash the wedding photos turned out amazing – especially the beautiful bright colour contrasts that look so crisp and vivid.
You’re so talented and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion.

Gorgeous, I too enjoy the red theme in these, the canoe shot for me is my favorite. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next
