Maybe you just loved your dress so much you want to wear it again, or you didn't get the pictures you hoped for from your photographer, or maybe you just want to relive wearing that costly dress you only got to wear once.  There will be a professional hair stylist, makeup artist, and photographer to capture you in your gown.  You can even get your Maid of Honor, Bridesmaid's, Flower Girl, Mother, or Hubby in on it.  Have them bring their attire they wore.  Some fun ideas for this shoot:

Trash the dress:
Paint, chocolate, Folsom Lake, Rainbow Bridge (American River), classic car wash with hubby, underwater, cake throwing, water fountain, ketchup and mustard (picnic).

Anniversary

Just silly fun with your girl's

Lost your pictures?  Get a second chance.

You must be able to provide your own dress, veil, accessories etc.  Also you must be able to provide or help provide props for the concept we agree on.  You must be able to travel to Folsom CA during the week for the shoot.
