A Not So Trashed Dress Trashing

Hey, Hive! Remember me, Mrs. Star? I've shared every little detail of our wedding with you, but I've held back a few secrets still...like this gorgeous little photo shoot we did! I'm still unsure of what to call it. A "day-after shoot"? Wellll, we did it three months after our wedding. A "trash the dress"? You all know I love my dress wayyy too much to trash it ;)

So anyways, we found an amazing budding photographer who was looking to expand her portfolio and I squeezed back into my dress with the help of Mr. Star to capture some more couple portraits that we hadn't had time to get in the hustle and bustle of our wedding day (remember how I wanted pictures on the steps of the Public Library?). Take a look at what we got!

All photographs are the work of the awesome Lauren Brimhall Photography.


We started off taking a few solo portraits (not of me, of my dress, haha...).


Then we got all snuggly up on our rooftop, partly because we love to snuggle and partly because it was a below freezing day in January!


Mr. Star lifted me and my very heavy dress up to nab that shot.


And Starbucks graciously allowed us to do some snuggling up with our lattes. Like I said, there was a lot of snuggling going on that day!


Yeah, we love each other :)


We grabbed a drink for two in our local pub...



...And I adore this shot of us because Lauren made us look so hot! Who knew we could look so hot?


Then we made it over to the steps of the library for some truly epic shots.


My dress was so happy to finally be getting its time to shine on the steps of the library! But I saved my very favorite photo for last. I just adore how urban "Gone With the Wind" it is and how much we clearly adore each other:



We were so happy to get some great shots thanks to Lauren's talent, and to be able to get some more couple portraits in the spots that we didn't have time to hit on our busy wedding day!

Are you planning on doing a "day-after"/"trash the dress" shoot? What different looks or locations would you incorporate if you did?
