Genevieve + Olivier
Ottawa, Ontario + Chelsea / Gatineau, Quebec
October 2009
This was my first all francophone wedding and it was an experience! I do not speak French, so I had really no idea what was going on when people were talking – and the dinner was like an open mic night! I had to really be sharp and not being distracted by people talking really allowed me focus. Best (tasting) cake of the year and the craziest party by far!

So that wedding dress is just hanging out in the closet, eh? Well, strap it back on and let’s Trash The Dress! Robyn (of Corey and Robyn) is a Major in the Canadian Forces and jokingly mentioned doing a TTD on a military base. She said it, her husband loved it, I had the epiphany and there was no saying no from there. Nerves got the best of her a few times (as well as a few trips to Afghanistan) but we locked-and-loaded last week. I am pumped, she will freak out (in the good way). Enjoy.
Trash The Dress photo shoots have been huge south of the border for a while now and bride’s in the Great White North are getting curious about what a TTD really is. I think it started with destination weddings when brides would jump in the ocean and photographers were making beautiful images of the phenomenon. It has been adapted over a few years and does not necessarily mean that your dress will be destroyed. Since we don’t have endless bodies of warm salt water up here, I like to put my own spin on things. I think of them like the anti-engagement portrait. I keep my engagement session very casual, natural and lovey but my TTD’s are more editorial-fashion in nature and I take time to develop a killer concept and efficient execution. Also unlike my weddings and engagement portraits, I have done a lot of ”post production” work on this image to make it really dramatic. Dig it.
