Panama: TRASH the DRESS session

The latest trend in wedding photography you ask?!
Trashing the wedding dress after the wedding, of course!
As seen in People Magazine, there is a complete site to "Trashing the Dress" click here to see it






About two miles from the center of Panama City are found the ruins of the first capital, known as Old Panama or Panama La Vieja, founded in 1519. Fragments of walls and arches stand in an open park, recalling the splendor of the Spaniard's first settlement on the Pacific Ocean. From here, expeditions were mounted to conquer the Inca Empire of South America. All of the wealth from Peru, Chile and California flowed to Spain through Old Panama Not surprisingly, the enormous quantities of gold attracted pirates like sharks to Panama's waters. When Henry Morgan looted the city in 1671, Panama's governor ordered the powder magazine burned and the whole city went up in flames. The capital was moved two miles to the west, and present-day Panama City was founded in 1673.
Since Mary Ellen got married in Canada and not Panama like they had thought - I LOVED the idea of going here to take some photos.
GORGEOUS!!!!

I'm Baaaaccccccccckkkkkkkkk...

The most popular question I have had is this week is
"What the heck are you doing in Panama?!"

When I was recently speaking to my August 5th bride, MaryEllen, about how to get her GORGEOUS wedding album out to her, I decided the best way was to fly it out and PERSONALLY deliver it to them! How fun is THAT!?

The timing couldn't be more perfect! 18 of us came from Vancouver, to Beachfest 2008. Matt and MaryEllen hosted us all both in Panama City and the beach for a glorious 10 days.

You are truly two of the kindest souls I have ever met in my life and I am proud and feel very, very blessed to call you friends. You are so selfless and so wonderful and this vacation truly changed my life. I have made many new friendships, made changes in my personal life that I owe a great thanks to you for and explored a new world that I probably would have never seen in my life without this adventure.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for hosting me and being so dear. I love you and you family!
