I love this mock bridal session! Jenny, a good friend of mine from college, was kind enough to model for me in the Simply Bridal dress they were kind enough to loan to me for an underwater trash the dress session. Look for that session later this week! We thought that we’d take the dress for a spin before hopping in the pool with it.  Arizona is so beautiful in the late spring with the palo verde trees blooming and the gorgeous (but hot!) sun shining.

Jenny was my roommate in the college dorms at ASU and let me tell you, she is awesome. Anyone who can put up with living in the same room as me for 9 months rocks. I am so lucky to call her my friend. She is an up and coming local stand up comedian so if you frequent Stand Up Scottsdale, Copper Blues or any of the local open mics, chances are you’ll see her on stage. Not that I’m biased, but I think she’s hilarious and a beautiful person inside and out, as cheesy as that sounds 🙂

A huge thanks to Simply Bridal for loaning this dress to us! Keep your eyes peeled later this week for the underwater segment of this session 🙂 And for the record, the water didn’t damage the dress to my knowledge, so if you are looking for an affordable dress for a trash the dress session, Simply Bridal would be an excellent choice!
