MHP Trash the Dress Workshop

Last week I was in absolute heaven during the Mile High Photographer's Trash the Wedding Dress Workshop. Thanks to all who were in charge of coordinating all of the details. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better time or a better day--the light was perfect. Heck--it was perfect from start to finish.

First, I want to thank our fantastic instructors, Jared Wilson, James Christianson, and RJ Kern for volunteering so much of their time to share their knowledge with all those of us who were lucky enough to particpate. Thanks too for Jessica Bergthold, Shappen Kapple and all those I am forgetting who put this amazing workshop together.

The hair and make-up from the shoot was provided by Paris Sinclair. Boulder Blooms generously provided the gorgeous bridal bouquets, and Ghost Town Disc Golf for providing us a fantastic location.

And since I am not much of a writer or very good with the details of all of those who should be properly thanked for their tremendous efforts--I'd shut up now. Here are some images from the day! Images, after all, speak so much louder than words don't they?

i am painfully aware that my blog does not have a huge following. but i do know that the ones who do follow are loyal and influential. so my plea today is that those who are reading this will help out with this very special cause.

a few months ago i wrote a blog post about a family i had the pleasure of photographing: http://inthepaintingofchaos.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

next sunday they are working with my friends at the melting pot to hold a fundraiser for cici's medical expense fund. tickets are on sale but sales are slow. can you help? will you help? why won't you help?

i am donating a photography session and will be there to capture the afternoon's festivities.

please take a moment to read this family's blog, think hard about their circumstances and help us to help them.

there will be lost of cool items for the silent auction, excellent food and wonderful people to surround yourself with. will you join us? and if you can't...will you consider donating to this family's medical expense fund? you will surely be rewarded and your kindness will go much farther than you will ever realize.

i thank you and so does the fischer family.
