It was actually great having two people for our Newtown Trash the Dress photoshoot with 2 very different styles of dresses, as it allowed me to take very different photos in the same setting. Here are my favourite photos of Fiona from the afternoon.
This was the closest that we got to having a “groom”
And that’s...
Beautiful work Jeanette. Keep up the great work. Love the location.
All the best,

Stunning Jeanette!!! I LOVE number 4 and 5 
I”m loving these Jeanette!!! They came out so nicely. I’m sure Fiona is going to be very happy with them too.
I met up with a whole lot of tweeters in Newtown this morning for a photowalk, and I really enjoyed it. We didn’t get to really spend time in Newtown during the Worldwide photowalk a few weeks ago, and I’ve always wanted to walk around there, so this was an ideal opportunity. I learnt...

Awesome photo’s Jeanette, especially the last one. The wire on the bus seemed 3D, like it was real and can be taken off.

Ordinary street scenes caught in excellent photos. Its hard to choose a favorite. Either the one of the guys with the tyre or the last one of the shop.

Oh, that IS fun!! They are all great, impossible to choose a favourite, but I also like the “love” wall!
Karins last blog post..I wrote a letter to my love
Wow. Amazing. I always liked “trash the dress” shots. They are always more interesting than classic bride photos. I love the 7, 8 and 14. They are all so beautiful.
