Trashing St. Louis
August 20th, 2008
Last month my wife and I took a road trip around the central United States and one of our first stops was another city on the Mississippi, St. Louis.
I read about a “trash the dress” style photo shoot on a photography forum, which was scheduled to happen on the day we were leaving for our trip. Having never been in St. Louis longer than a quick detour, we decided to make it our first stop and participate in the trashing*.
The event planner, and awesome photographer Michelle Ross, slated three locations for the evening. There was quite a nice turnout with about a dozen photographers (mostly local) that met at the St. Louis Art Museum to begin the evening. After some getting warmed up on the grounds of the museum, we headed over to a unique location, an old monastery/convent with lots of gorgeous courtyards and Gothic arches. We finished up the night “in” the fountain at Maryland Plaza.

It was nice meeting you in STL!
These pictures turned out awesome!
Do you shoot in RAW? I think I need to start doing that!

Nice meeting you too, Trisha. STL is a great city, loved it. And yes, RAW all the way.

I’m so jealous of you… TTD sessions look like so much fun. Then again, everything you do you make look like a ton of fun…
