Till Death Do Us Part. A Fearless Bridal Session

It’s funny for me to watch Applehead Studio evolve and take it’s own shape based simple on the best way to have fun while we work. While I used to go out and shoot like a madman, proof 100 or so images and sell a big collection of 75+ images, now when we do these...

Nancy - These photos are super great. What a fun idea. So creative. I agree, Katie is always all smiles and giggles. John adores the ground she walks on and would do anything for her and it shows in this story line of photos. I love the pictures. Some great shots and angles.

molly - These shots are amazing. What a cool idea!

Applehead - Of course Darren. We shot in the deep dark woods up near Long Lake just of the St Margaret’s Bay Road.

Darren - Can I ask where these fantastic photos were taken?

Katie - Love them! And I agree, you have an amazing assistant!

Mike Gallant - I love these images , very creative. As i was scrolling down to the one where he’s dead and shes fishing, i had stopped and said i’d be really funny to see him in the water….. then the next one was just that….. i laughed pretty hard!

I must say that water looked cold… what a trooper to go along with that!

Keep up the great work Liam and crew!

Jason - Nice shoot!

Dorothy Pomerleau, Makeup Artist. - OMG…I’m blown away…Kari, the photos are stunnnningggg!!! Applehead Studio you do fantastic photography!! I love AHS2556w and AHS2658w….would love to have this to post on my website, with credit given to Applehead for the photography!

applehead studio - Thank you for all the time you spent on my site Ideaman. I appreciate your input. Why don’t you send us all a link so we can see your work too? I must admit I’m all warm inside that you’re thinking so much about me!

ideaman - Idea: Let’s make the bride look like she’s flat on the ground with grass growing OVER her face
Idea: Let’s take photos of the bride with light from above like she’s waiting for an alien abduction
Idea: Let’s take photos with bright flashes that look like student quality lighting
Idea: Let’s take photos of the flashes IN the shot, surely that would be cool and pro looking
Idea:Bounce that ball around while I take photos to show off my mad skillz with my light kit.

oh yeah. lots of ideaz here.

GrammaD - Liam omg. Give us some more pictures of the beautiful bride

Shauna - you do not need sunshine. these are fabulous.

Shoot the Bride

About a year ago I went to PEI with my very talented photographer friends, Jeff Cooke and Heather Crosby-Gionet. We did somewhat of a trash the dress marathon over 15 hours. I shot some behind the scenes video and we hung out with some very creative and talented people from the Island. Through the magic...

goodbye Trash the Dress. hello Fearless Bridal Sessions.

Did you know Google was originally called BackRub? So I figured if a wee little company like Google could make a name change then so could I. So I’m officially done with the term ‘Trash the Dress’. I’ll admit I ran head first into the idea of it. We’ve trashed a few, burned a few…and...

Dane Sanders - Dramatic. Nice work.

Emily - Love these shots. Wonderfully daring and so fun. The night shots are awesome.

Colette - LOVE the new term. ‘Cause not every woman wants to ruin their beautiful wedding dress, but a lot of women would love to rock out in it and show that just because it’s white, doesn’t mean you’re pure. Brilliant.

Julie - Love the pics….great job Steph!! (and Liam too..)

Dam. Sarah + Ryan’s Trash the Dress Session

When I was in university at SMU I was looking for part time jobs in the summer months and one of them was at a recycling center over in Spryfield. I saw an ad in the paper, called them up and the guys said, “yeah come on over for an interview”. So I roll up...

Avril - WOW – those are awesome.

Marse - LOVE LOVE LOVE the last one. xo

Trash the Dress Session with Adam + Sarah

I can almost guarantee you that Sarah’s dress was cleaner at the end of her Trash the Dress shoot than it was at the end of the the night on Saturday. To be honest with you, I think Trash the Dress is kind of a bad name but its certainly started a lot of discussion....

it’s Wedding Season in Halifax

I feel like a farmer at this time of year. An image farmer. May-October is the time when I kiss Marcia and Lola goodbye and work like a dog for 6 months. For months I’ve been plotting, sketching, thinking and collaborating and on Saturday it was finally time to ‘nut up or shut up’. It’s...

Linda Buchanan - These wedding shots are exceptional. I think they are pretty well the best I’ve ever seen. Very out of the norm….good for you!

Jeff - Phenomenal post … those shots of the bride laying down are really spectacular – amazing what a couple of wedding photographers can do in an unsafe, 10 x 10 poorly lit space. And sorry if I temporarily blinded you.

allison - Amazing job with amazing people! THese are beautiful, and you are welcome here to our little island anytime!

Trash the Dress training…

As I was leaving Felicity Bridal the other day to pick up a few dresses for our Trash the Dress PEI project, Mickey came running out. “I have an idea for a wedding dress shot,” she said. “Let’s dress up Christina and take her picture putting money in a meter.” Done. Concept + Art Direction:Mickey...

Leslie - The middle shot of her putting the money in the meter and looking at the camera is one of my VERY favourite shots. Truly stunning!!!

tenzin gyatso - stunning. the epitome of pulchritude.

Cicely - FANNNNNTASSSSTTTIIICCC lighting! Hard but soft. I really love the first shot.

STEPH - Liam – you are on fire! That top shot is ridiculously amazing.

Julia - I adore the first picture; the photography and focus is remarkable. The dress looks comfortable, classy and perfectly elegant without having anything flashy on it. I think the setting and her action brings alot of attention and focus to the dress which makes it stand out more than it would in a regular bridal magazine. I’m really impressed, well done.

Joann Durdle - WoW…I love these:)

Charlotte - I love the 2nd one with the light shining through the veil, and the look on her face is perfect. Love that shot!

Jason Miller - Bravo! Great shots man!
