Monique: UnBridaled, Laguna Beach

November 24, 2011 by  

Last month we photographed a really awesome UnBridaled session in Laguna with one of our July brides, Monique Smith. Awesome weather, access to a private beach, Monique’s carefree spirit, and Monique’s romantic husband, Randy, all converged together for a perfect storm of picture taking!

Also known as a “Trash The Dress” session, that term may scare some brides, who fear the thought of actually “trashing” their wedding dress. Not to worry. That’s merely an expression for doing something (anything) with your wedding dress that you would not dare do before the wedding. After the wedding, you can afford to be fearless!

We’ll let these images speak for themselves.

    BREATHTAKING PICTURES !!! The best I’ve ever seen !! Great photographer of course; and that shows; but Monique and Randy are both photogenic. Monique just honestly looks gorgeous. She looks like a professional model already that should be on the cover of magazine’s. When she was younger she won every trophy and award for “Photogenic” catagory. IT SHOWS !! She’s still got it, and she better do something with it.

    These are SERIOUSLY some of THE BEST shots I’ve EVER seen…what a novel idea “trash the dress”. I’d have to say it was worth it, as a picture speaks a thousand words–these are quite verbose ;) ;)
    EXCELLENT!!!

    Monique is such an eye candy. Seeing all those beautiful photographs you cannot help but notice how she romances the camera to create a little story of her own. Priceless!
