Group “Rock the Dress” session featured in Gloucester Daily Times

A portrait session I arranged of a group of recent brides bravely jumping into the ocean for a “trash the dress” photo was featured in today’s Gloucester Daily Times!  Here’s the link to the newspaper’s online story about the event:  ‘Trashing the Dress’

Here’s the press release I sent to the newspaper:

Gloucester, MA, September 20, 2009 — As many as 8 recently married women will don their wedding gowns once again for a “trash the dress” group portrait session with Kevin Jacobus Photography Sunday, Sept. 20 on Half Moon Beach at Stage Fort Park. The trend of bridal portraits with a dramatic twist is gaining popularity as brides seek portraits with the fun and excitement of reliving a part of their wedding day without worrying about getting their dress dirty.

Brides will be photographed by the NH-based wedding and portrait photographer in a variety of themed sessions concluding with 8 women jumping into the ocean in their wedding gowns for a dramatic and unusual photograph.

Half Moon Beach was chosen as a location for its combination of sandy beach and rocky outcroppings that provide a beautiful backdrop for a set of photographs that will emcompass fun and fashion.

 

Southern Maine Photog Shootout!

Taking a moment to catch up after 8 photo shoots over a long weekend.  Monday I attended the Southern Maine Photog Shootout and brought intern Becca along.  This is an informal get-together of local photographers in the wedding and portrait industry for some fun photo shoots with dinner and socializing at Chase Hill Conference Center afterwards.  I had the opportunity to photograph the lovely Kendra in a boudoir session at CA Smith Photography in Kennebunkport, Maine followed by a trash-the-dress (or drown-the-gown, depending on where you are from!) on Colony Beach in Kennebunkport.  Here’s a few of my photos and an outtake I shot of fellow photographer Rob Nicholson of Humbled Eyes Photography in Delaware, MD.
