Tina & Matt Trash the Dress with their Edmonton Wedding Photographer

A trashed dress but an intact wedding.....


Tina and Matt promised themselves to each other in the ever beautiful Playa del Carmen, Mexico. This wedding was a change of scenery for all those that attended, as Matt is Australian, and his parents travelled from Australia. Tina and Matt's betrothal was truly meant to be, as their original date was postponed from earlier this year due to the Swine flu scare in May in Mexico. Had their plans been for a couple days later in November, the wedding would have to be postponed again due to Hurricane Ida grazing the Yucatan peninsula the day after their wedding!

Consequently the trash the dress photo session was postponed until after the storm but luckily it didn't have to be cancelled entirely. Scenery was working in everyones' favour, as clouds were rolling in and created dramatic skies that made for evocative backgrounds in the photos. Reminiscent of perfume commercials, the so in love couple looked stunning in their dramatic environment.

As a result, these are some of Instant Memories favorite images. Tina and Matt were enjoyable to work with as they were both very open to our suggestions and were willing to try anything! Tina has bought a second dress just for this occasion, and didn't even bat an eye at our sometimes insane requests

Matt and Tina, we were privileged to be a part of your special celebration, thank you for the larger than life Godiva gift basket (YUM) we'll see you at your brother's wedding in Kelowna in 2010 and good luck with the move to Australia!
